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

Physics

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 friction in physics?
Triss [41]

Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object. You will find friction everywhere that objects come into contact with each other. The force acts in the opposite direction to the way an object wants to slide.

The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that element’s
marishachu [46]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Atomic mass (Also called Atomic Weight, although this denomination is incorrect, since the mass is property of the body and the weight depends on the gravity) Mass of an atom corresponding to a certain chemical element). The uma (u) is usually used as a unit of measure. Where u.m.a are acronyms that mean "unit of atomic mass". This unit is also usually called Dalton (Da) in honor of the English chemist John Dalton.

It is equivalent to one twelfth of the mass of the nucleus of the most abundant isotope of carbon, carbon-12. It corresponds roughly to the mass of a proton (or a hydrogen atom). It is abbreviated as "uma", although it can also be found by its English acronym "amu" (Atomic Mass Unit). However, the recommended symbol is simply "u".

<u> The atomic masses of the chemical elements are usually calculated with the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element taking into account the relative abundance of each of them</u>, which explains the non-correspondence between the atomic mass in umas, of an element, and the number of nucleons that harbors the nucleus of its most common isotope.

Alex787 [66]

Answer: Mr. Whitmore would need 7 or more students ( 7.17) to make the box start moving and go outside

Explanation:

Given that;

friction force of ground box = 68 N

student of 7th grade = n

Whitmore can apply a force of 25 N

every other 7th grade student can apply a force of 6 N.

now

friction force = forced applied by whitmore + total force ny 7th grade student

we substitute

68 = 25 + 6n

6n = 68 - 25

6n = 43

n = 43/6

n = 7.17

Therefore Mr. Whitmore would need 7 or more students ( 7.17) to make the box start moving and go outside

MAXImum [283]

Answer:21.18 m

Explanation:

Given

initial speed u=10 m/s

height of building h=22 m

time taken to complete 22 m

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

initial vertical velocity =0

22=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

t=\sqrt{\frac{22\times 2}{g}}

t=2.11 s

Horizontal Distance moved

R=u_x\times t

R=10\times 2.11

R=21.18 m
