Answer:

P = 1470980 J

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of the hiker is 79 kg

It is required to find the potential energy associated with a 79-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington, 1900 m above sea level.

It is given by :

P=mgh\\\\P=79\times 9.8\times 1900\\\\P=1470980\ J

So, the potential energy of 1470980 J is associated with a hiker.

s2008m [1.1K]

Annual salary(2012) = $70,000

Annual inflation = 7%

Therefore, the salary you need to earn in 2020 in order to have the same purchasing power can be calculated below

2020-2012=8\text{ years}FV=PV\times(1+r)^n

where

n = 8

r = 7/100 = 0.07

PV = 70, 000

\begin{gathered} FV=70,000(1+0.07)^8 \\ FV=70000(1.07)^8 \\ FV\text{ = 70000}\times1.71818617983 \\ FV=120273.032588 \\ FV=\text{  \$}120,273.03 \end{gathered}

The salary you need to earn in 2020 to have the same purchasing power = $120, 273.03

Which sentence provides evidence that heat travels from Earth’s mantle up to its crust?
olasank [31]

B. Earth’s outer surface is cooler than its interior layers.

Explanation:

  • The option given above is showing us that the temperature in the interior of the earth is higher than the temperature in the outer layer.
  • There is travel of heat from the inner core of the earth to the earth's crust. Due to the loss of heat when it reaches the outer layer, there arises a temperature difference.
  • The heat loss is due to the absorption of heat during its transfer. Hence, option B is the answer.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

3.066×10^21  photons/(s.m^2)

Explanation:

The power per area is:

Power/A = (# of photons /t /A)×(energy / photon)

E/photons = h×c/(λ)

photons /t /A = (Power/A)×λ /(h×c)  

photons /t /A = (P/A)×λ/(hc)

photons /t /A = (680)×(678×10^-9)/(6.63×10^-34)×(3×10^-8)

                      = 3.066×10^21

Therefore, the number of photons per second per square meter 3.066×10^21  photons/(s.m^2).

8. An effort force of 15 Newtons is applied to an ideal pulley system to lift up a 16 Newton object. If the effort force is exer
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \  by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \  by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m

Therefore, the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​
