Answer:

352,088.37888Joules

Explanation:

Complete question;

A hiker of mass 53 kg is going to climb a mountain with elevation 2,574 ft.

A) If the hiker starts climbing at an elevation of 350 ft., what will their change in gravitational potential energy be, in joules, once they reach the top? (Assume the zero of gravitational potential is at sea level)

Chane in potential energy is expressed as;

ΔGPH = mgΔH

m is the mass of the hiker

g is the acceleration due to gravity;

ΔH is the change in height

Given

m = 53kg

g = 9.8m/s²

ΔH = 2574-350 = 2224ft

since 1ft = 0.3048m

2224ft = (2224*0.3048)m = 677.8752m

Required

Gravitational potential energy

Substitute the values into the formula;

ΔGPH = mgΔH

ΔGPH = 53(9.8)(677.8752)

ΔGPH = 352,088.37888Joules

Hence the gravitational potential energy is 352,088.37888Joules

erastova [34]

The choices are:

a. Normal Force

b. Gravity Force

c. Applied Force

d. Friction Force

e. Tension Force

​f. Air Resistance Force

Answer:

The answer is letter e, Tension Force.

Explanation:

Force refers to the "push" and "pull" of an object, provided that the object has mass. This results to acceleration or a change in velocity. There are many types of forces such as <em>Normal Force, Gravity Force, Applied Force, Friction Force, Tension Force and Air Resistance Force.</em>

The situation above is an example of a "tension force." This is considered the force that is being applied to an object by strings or ropes. This is a type force that allows the body to be pulled and not pushed, since ropes are not capable of it. In the situation above, the tension force of the rope is acting on the bag and this allows the bag to be pulled.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Suppose a certain car supplies a constant deceleration of A meter per second per second. If it is traveling at 90km/hr. When. th
aksik [14]

Answer:

i)-6.25m/s

ii)18 metres

iii)26.5 m/s or 95.4 km/hr

Explanation:

Firstly convert 90km/hr to m/s

90 × 1000/3600 = 25m/s

(i) Apply v^2 = u^2 + 2As...where v(0m/s) is the final speed and u(25m/s) is initial speed and also s is the distance moved through(50 metres)

0 = (25)^2 + 2A(50)

0 = 625 + 100A....then moved the other value to one

-625 = 100A

Hence A = -6.25m/s^2(where the negative just tells us that its deceleration)

(ii) Firstly convert 54km/hr to m/s

In which this is 54 × 1000/3600 = 15m/s

then apply the same formula as that in (i)

0 = (15)^2 + 2(-6.25)s

-225 = -12.5s

Hence the stopping distance = 18metres

(iii) Apply the same formula and always remember that the deceleration values is the same throughout this question

0 = u^2 + 2(-6.25)(56)

u^2 = 700

Hence the speed that the car was travelling at is the,square root of 700 = 26.5m/s

In km/hr....26.5 × 3600/1000 = 95.4 km/hr

An engine absorbs 1749 J from a hot reservoir and expels 539 J to a cold reservoir in each cycle. a. What is the engine’s effici
Masja [62]

Answer:

a)η = 69.18 %

b)W= 1210 J

c)P=3967.21 W

Explanation:

Given that

Q₁ = 1749 J

Q₂ = 539  J

From first law of thermodynamics

Q₁   = Q₂ +W

W=Work out put

Q₂=Heat rejected to the cold reservoir

Q₁ =heat absorb by hot  reservoir

W= Q₁- Q₂

W= 1210 J

The efficiency given as

\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q_1}

\eta=\dfrac{1210}{1749}

\eta=0.6918

η = 69.18 %

We know that rate of work done is known as power

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

P=\dfrac{1210}{0.305}\ W

P=3967.21 W
