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.

A heat engine has a maximum possible efficiency of 0.780. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of-24.8
Volgvan

Answer : The temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

Explanation :

Efficiency of carnot heat engine : It is the ratio of work done by the system to the system to the amount of heat transferred to the system at the higher temperature.

Formula used for efficiency of the heat engine.

\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

where,

\eta = efficiency = 0.780

T_h = Temperature of hot reservoir = ?

T_c = Temperature of cold reservoir = -24.8^oC=273+(-24.8)=248.2K

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

0.780=1-\frac{248.2K}{T_h}

T_h=1128.18K

Therefore, the temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 15 meters per second and an initial vertical velocity of 25 meters per second
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

75 m

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the projectile is a uniform motion with constant speed, since there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal acceleration is zero.

The horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile is

v_x = 15 m/s

and it is constant during the motion;

the total time of flight is

t = 5 s

Therefore, we can apply the formula of the uniform motion to find the horizontal displacement of the projectile:

d= v_x t =(15 m/s)(5 s)=75 m

NARA [144]

Answer:

nonmetals

Explanation:

Ionic compounds generally form between elements that are metals and elements that are nonmetals. For example, the metal calcium (Ca) and the nonmetal chlorine (Cl) form the ionic compound calcium chloride (CaCl2).

Three cars with identical engines and tires start from rest, and accelerate at their maximum rate. Car X is the most massive, an
aksik [14]

Answer:C) car X

Explanation:

Given

All the cars have identical Engine thus Force Produced by car X will be equal to  Y and Z

and Force=mass\times acceleration

Since Car X is most massive so acceleration associated with it will be minimum

acceleration of car X is minimum thus it will travel farthest
