A 66.5-kg hiker starts at an elevation of 1270 m and climbs to the top of a peak 2660 m high.

Answer

given,

mass of the hiker = 66.5 kg

elevation of the hiker,h₁ = 1270 m

elevation of top peak,h₂ = 2660 m

a) Change in potential energy

    Δ PE = m g h₂ - m g h₁

    Δ PE = m g (h₂ - h₁)

    Δ PE = 66.5 x 9.8 x  (2660 - 1270)

    Δ PE = 905863 J

b) Minimum work require by the hiker will be equal to Δ PE = 905863 J

c) yes, it can be more than this, if friction is present on the surface.

Which of the following can only be a situation of increasing temperature?
Papessa [141]

Increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.

<h3>What is average kinetic energy of particles?</h3>

The average kinetic energy of particles is the energy possessed by particles due to their constant motion.

The constant motion of particles occurs due to the energy acquired by the particles, when the temperature of the particles increases, the average kinetic energy increases which in turn increases the speed of the particles.

Thus, we can conclude that, increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.

If a 0.15 kg ball falls and has a KE of 20 J just before striking the ground, from what height did it fall. A. 1.36m B. 3m C. 13
RUDIKE [14]
According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell. 

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
   = 20 / (0.15 · 9.8) 
   = 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.

Through what vertical height is a 50 N object moved if 250 J of work is done lifting it against the gravitational field of Earth
zimovet [89]

5m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object = 50N

Work done in lifting object = 250J

Unknown:

Vertical height = ?

Solution:

The work done on an object is the force applied to lift a body in a specific direction.

   Work done = force x distance

  Weight is a force in the presence of gravity;

  Work done = weight x height of lifting

Height of lifting = \frac{work done }{weight}

 Height of lifting = \frac{250}{50} = 5m

The vertical height through which the object was lifted is 5m

Determine the acceleration due to gravity?
MissTica
That's a weird graph, but judging from the units the acceleration is the slope of the graph.

a = (0.8 - 0.3)/(0.16 - 0.055) = 4.76 m/s²
