Answer: 3217.79 hours.

Explanation:

Given, A 140 lb. climber saved her potential energy as she descended from Mt. Everest (Elev. 29,029 ft) to Kathmandu (Elev. 4,600 ft).

Power = 0.4 watt

Mass of climber = 140 lb

= 140 x 0.4535 kg  [∵ 1 lb= 0.4535 kg]

⇒ Mass of climber (m) = 63.50 kg

Let h_1=29,029\ ft= 8848.04\ m\ \ \ \  [ 1 ft=0.3048\ m ] and h_2= 4,600 ft = 1402.08\ m

Now, Energy saved =mg(h_1-h_2)=(63.50)(9.8)(8848.04-1402.08)=4633620.91\ J

\text{Power}=\dfrac{\text{energy}}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.4=\dfrac{4633620.91}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{time}=\dfrac{4633620.91}{0.4}\approx11584052.28\text{ seconds}\\\\=\dfrac{11584052.28}{3600}\text{ hours}\ \ \ [\text{1 hour = 3600 seconds}]\\\\=3217.79\text{ hours}

Hence, she can power her 0.4 watt flashlight for 3217.79 hours.

What happens to gravitational potential energy as a rollercoaster moves down a hill?
Rufina [12.5K]
At the top, the roller coaster has a very large amount of potential energy. This amount of potential energy is present because the roller coaster is at a elevated place with respect to the ground. While the roller coaster goes down some of the potential energy is lost depending on the change in height and is converted to other energy. As the roller coaster is losing the potential energy, it gains some kinetic energy since this type of energy is dependent on the speed of the object moving and the mass. Therefore the answer i believe is where potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

You have a 12 volt battery and placed across a 6 ohm resistor, what will the current be?​
QveST [7]

Answer:

i hope it help

Explanation:

It's possible to step 12 volts down to 6 volts by incorporating a pair of 10,000-ohm resistors into the circuit. Cut two lengths of wire, and strip each wire of 1/2 inch of insulation at each end. Attach one end of the first wire to the positive terminal on the power supply.

A + 8 μC charge lies 4 m to the left of a - 10 μC charge. A - 12 μC charge lies 8 m to its right. What is the resultant force on
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

both side charges will exert force on central charge towards left so the two forces add up. Thus resultant force on centre charge is

F = 9×10^9 x 8×10^-6×10×10^-6/16

+

9× 10^9 × 10×10^-6×12×10^-6/64

= 9× 10^9 × 10^ -12/16 (80+30)

=6.18 × 10^-2 N

or

= 0.06 N
