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

3. If I run 150m in 30 seconds, what speed will I have been running at?
Radda [10]

Answer:

speed = distance/time

Explanation:

speed = 150/30

speed =5m/s

you were running fast .....5m/s is a good speed

A golf ball is struck at 75 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees. What is the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

v_x=37.50

Explanation:

The rectangular components of a vector \vec v having a magnitude v and angle θ are:

v_x=v\cos\theta

v_y=v\sin\theta

The golf ball has an initial speed of 75 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees.

The variables of the equations have the values:

v = 75 m/s

θ = 60°

Substituting into the formula:

v_x=75\cos 60^\circ

v_x=75\cdot 0.5

v_x=37.5~m/s

Without specifying units and with precision to the hundredths place:

\mathbf{v_x=37.50}
