What a delightful little problem !

-- When he is running on level ground, his kinetic energy is

             KE = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)² .

-- When he climbs up from the ground, his potential energy is

             PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height above the ground).

We're looking for the height that makes these quantities of energy equal,
figuring that when he runs, his speed is  11 m/s.

The first time I looked at this, I thought we would need to know the runner's
mass.  But it turns out that we don't.

       <u>PE = KE</u>

      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) = (1/2) (mass) (11 m/s)²

Divide each side by (mass) : 

       (gravity) x (Height)  =  (1/2) (11 m/s)²

Divide each side by gravity:

                      Height = (1/2) (121 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                =  <em>6.173 meters</em>

                         (about  20.3 feet !)

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

-8

Explanation:

sea level is another way of saying zero. If something is above or above sea level it is a positive integer. like a regular number. if something is below sea level it is a negative integer like negative numbers. They said 8 is the elevation but new orleans is BELOW sea level. that means the integer we are looking for is going to be a negative number. 8 is the number they told us and since it is below the sea level. The integer of new orleans that represents its elevation is -8.

What is an example of frequency
emmasim [6.3K]

'Frequency' is a word that often confuses some people ... for no good reason.
It just means "frequent-ness" or "often-ness" ... how often something happens.

The SI unit of frequency is the Hertz (Hz).  Hz means 'per second'.
So  " 13 Hz "  means  13 per second.

Here are examples of frequency:

-- 780 kilohertz (on your AM radio dial)
-- 98.7 Megahertz (on your FM dial)
-- 5.8 Gigahertz
-- twice a day
-- three per week
-- every 6 months
