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.

What is the forms of energy given below.
Damm [24]

Answer:

Lightening of the table lamp

Explanation:

Energy has a different form of energy. In physics, the capacity of the form of energy is work. The energy can exist in the form of thermal, potential, kinetic, chemical and electrical, and nuclear. There are other forms of energy such as work and heat.

The energy is designated according to the nature of the objects. So that when heat transferred it has been changed into thermal. All the forms of energy are related to the motion of an object. Energy can neither destroyed or created.

What changes a ball velocity
Grace [21]

Answer/Explanation: Speed and direction can change with time. When you throw a ball into the air, it leaves your hand at a certain speed. As the ball rises, it slows down. Then, as the ball falls back toward the ground, it speeds up again. When the ball hits the ground, its direction of motion changes and it bounces back up into the air.

An iron cube has edge 15cm long at 20c .What will be? The new surface area of a face when the temperature rises to 80c
grigory [225]

Answer:

271cm^2

Explanation:

volume 1= 15^3 =3375

temp. 1. = 20+273 = 293

temp. 2. = 50+273 = 353

volume 2 =?

According to Charles law

volume is proportional to temperature

v2 = v1 * t2 / t1

v2 = 3375 * 353 / 293

v2 = 4066cm^3

v = area * length

4066 = area * 15

area = 4066/15 = 271cm^2
