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.

You are given a sample of metal and asked to determine its specific heat. You weigh the sample and find that its weight is 27.2
garri49 [273]

Answer:

c=326.5177 J/kg.K

Specific heat is c=326.5177 J/kg.K

Explanation:

In order ti find the specific heat, we will proceed as follow:

Formula we are going to use is:

Q=m*c*\Delta T

Where:

Q is the heat energy added

m is the mass of sample

c is the specific heat

\Delta T is the temperature Rise.

First we will find the mass:

Weight=m*g  (g is gravitational acceleration=9.8 m/s^2)

m=\frac{weight}{g} \\m=\frac{27.2}{9.8} \\m=2.7755 \ kg

Rearranging above formula:

c=\frac{Q}{m* \Delta T}

c=\frac{1.45*10^4}{2.7755*16}

c=326.5177 J/kg.K

Specific heat is c=326.5177 J/kg.K

A car has a velocity of 15 m/s.
yan [13]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 15 m/s

a = 3.5 m/s²

t = 5.0 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (3.5 m/s²) (5.0 s) + 15 m/s

v = 32.5 m/s

Two technicians are discussing a state emission test. Technician A says that a vent valve that is not able to close can cause th
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: correct option is C

both Technicians A and B are right

Explanation:

Test cycles specify the specific conditions under which the engine or vehicle is operated during the emission test. The vent valve that is not able to close can cause the system to fail the on-board test. Also, a leaking gas cap can cause a failure of the EVAP test. 

There are many different test cycles issued by various national and international governments and working groups

With what average speed must you drive your car if your average speed for the entire 23 km is to be 25 km/h?
aksik [14]

Answer:

25km/h

Explanation:

This is a trick question, the average speed in this case does not really depend on calculation or extrapolation, it just refers to an event that is yet to occur,

In other words, if you want to achieve an average speed of 25km/h for 23km, then you should drive your car at a constant speed of 25km/h, any variation in speed may cause a change in your average speed at the end.
