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.

Alika [10]
Venus shares a similar size, surface composition, and has an atmosphere with a complex weather system. Venus is different from Earth because it spins the opposite direction of Earth and it’s rotation is very slow.

the momentum of a spring coil when the external compressing force is removed b the difference between the final momentum and the
Fed [463]

Answer:

the correct one is b

the difference between the final moment and the initial moment

Explanation:

The momentum is related to the moment

          I = ΔP

          ∫ F dt = p_f - p₀

where p_f and p₀ are the final and initial moments, respectively

When checking the different answers, the correct one is b

the difference between the final moment and the initial moment

On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 180 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Explanation:

Given:

- Change in length of spring [email protected] = 22.6 cm

- Time taken for 11 oscillations t = 19.0 s

Find:

- The value of gravitational free fall g_x at plant X:

Solution:

- We will assume a simple harmonic motion of the mass for which Time is:

                                 T  = 2*pi*sqrt(k / m )    ...... 1

- Sum of forces in vertical direction @equilibrium is zero:

                                 F_net = k*x - m*g_x = 0

                                 (k / m) = (g_x / x)    .... 2

- substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1:

                                  2*pi / T = sqrt ( g_x / x )

                                   g_x = (2*pi / T )^2 * x

- Evaluate g_x:

                                  g_x = (2*pi / (19 / 11) )^2 * 0.226

                                  g_x = 3.0 m / s^2
