Answer: 2352 J

Explanation:

A body's gravitational potential energy $U$ depends on its position and is mathematically expressed as follows:

$U=mgh$

Where:

$m=60 kg$ is the mass of the skater

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

$h=4 m$ is the skater's current height

Solving:

$U=(60 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})(4 m)$

$U=2352 J$

An 800 N man climbs 5 m up a ladder. How much gravitational potential energy does he gain?

Artemon [7]

Answer:

4000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the man = 800N

Height of ladder = 5m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy gained = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is due to the position of a body.

Gravitational potential energy = weight x height

Now insert the parameters;

Gravitational potential energy = 800 x 5 = 4000J

As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution ________ and the vapor pressure of

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution decrease and the vapor pressure of the solution decrease .

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point :

$\Delta T_f=K_f\times m$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ =depression in freezing point =

$K_f$ = freezing point constant

m = molality ( moles per kg of solvent) of the solution

As we can see that from the formula that higher the molality of the solution is directly proportionate to the depression in freezing point which means that:

If molality of the solution in high the depression in freezing point of the solution will be more.
If molality of the solution in low the depression in freezing point of teh solution will be lower .

Relative lowering in vapor pressure of the solution is given by :

$\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\chi_{solute}$

$p_o$ = Vapor pressure of pure solvent

$p_s$ = Vapor pressure of solution

$\chi_{solute}$ = Mole fraction of solute

$p_s\propto \frac{1}{\chi_{solute}}$

Vapor pressure of the solution is inversely proportional to the mole fraction of solute.

Higher the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and decrease in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.
lower the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and increase in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.

A sailboat weighing 980 lb with its occupants is running downwind at 8 mi/h when its spinnaker is raised to increase its speed.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

78.498N

Explanation:

The Net force provided by the spinnaker can be obtained from Newton's second law of motion as follows;

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}................(1)$

where m is the mass, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and t is the time interval for which the force acted.

Given;

m =980lb

v = 12mi/h

u =8mi/hr

t = 10s.

It is important to convert all quantities to their SI units where necessary, so we do that as follows;

1lb = 0.45kg,

hence 980lb = 980 x 0.45kg = 441kg.

1mile = 1609.34m

1hour = 3600s,

therefore;

$8mi/h=\frac{8*1609.34m}{3600s}=3.58m/s$

$12mi/h=\frac{12*1609.34m}{3600s}=5.36m/s$

Substituting all values into equation (1), we obtain the following;

$F=\frac{441(5.36-3.58)}{10}\\F=\frac{441*1.78}{10}\\F=\frac{784.98}{10}\\F=78.498N$
