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.

Part a consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average r
Alex787 [66]
<span>436 km The conversion factor between kilocalorie/hour and watts is 1.163 (1 kcal/hr = 1.163 watt). So let's convert the energy consumption of the bird from watts to kcal/hr 3.7 w / 1.163 w hr/kcal = 3.18 kcal /hr 1 gram of fat has 9 kcal, so the total number of kcals consumed will be 4 * 9 = 36. So the bird can fly for 36/3.18 = 11.32 hours The distance traveled will be 11.32 h * 3600 s/h * 10.7 m/s / 1000 m/km = 436 km</span>

An example of constant velocity
pashok25 [27]
Some examples of constant velocity (or at least almost- constant velocity) motion include (among many others): • A car traveling at constant speed without changing direction. A hockey puck sliding across ice. A space probe that is drifting through interstellar space.

A 62 kg bungee jumper jumps from a bridge. She is tied to a bungee cord whose unstretched length is 12 m. She falls a total of 3
Andrew [12]

Answer:

k = 104.46 N/m

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

so we will have

initial gravitational potential energy = final total spring potential energy

as we know that she falls a total distance of 31 m

while the unstretched length of the string is 12 m

so the extension in the string is given as

x = L - L_o

x = 31 - 12 = 19 m

so we have

mgH = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

62(9.81)(31) = \frac{1}{2}k (19^2)

k = 104.46 N/m
