Answer:

Yes, dimensionally the equation is correct.

Explanation:

This equation is the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion, then we study the units of each member to conclude whether it is dimensionally correct.

vi = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time [s]

v = final velocity

therefore we have:

[m/s] + [m/s^2]*[t^2], the second term now is m/s

[m/s] + [m/s] = [m/s]

So the analysis is correct.

The concept of energy can be calculated in multiple ways. Which units are used for energy? Check all that apply. joules kilogram

MrMuchimi

Answer:

W = F * S = Newtons * Distance = Joules (definition)

Joules and KiloJoules are obviously methods of describing energy

F = M a = kg * m / s^2 definition of force

F * S = kg * m^2 / s^2 also describes work

Does being creative in doing science mean that a scientist should make things up ? Why ?

In-s [12.5K]

No. Science is all about facts and experiments. Making stuff up would go against that, and wouldn't be science.

An 85-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system, $\Delta E=4.49\times 10^5\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the hiker, m = 85 kg

Time, t = 2 h

Vertical elevation of the climber, h = 540 m

We need to find the change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system. We know that due to change in position of an object, gravitational potential energy occurs. It is given by :

$\Delta E=mgh\\\\\Delta E=85\times 9.8\times 540\\\\\Delta E=4.49\times 10^5\ J$

So, the change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is $4.49\times 10^5\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
