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

Calculate the length of a simple pendulum that oscillates with a frequency of 0.4Hz g=10m/s2 , ^=3.142
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

For simple pendulum the formula is

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Where T is time period , l is length and g is acceleration due to gravity .

\frac{1}{n} =2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

n is frequency

Putting the values

\frac{1}{.4} =2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{10} }

\frac{l}{10} = .1584

l = 1.584 m

irius, the brightest star in the sky, is 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years) from Earth, giving it a parallax of 0.379 arcseconds. Ano
Norma-Jean [14]

The actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs.

Given:

Parallax of Regulus, p = 0.042 arc seconds

Calculation:

When an observer changes their position, an apparent change in the object's position takes place. This change can be calculated using the angle ( or semi-angle) made by the observer and object i.e. the angle made between the two lines of observation from the object to the observer.

Thus from the relation of parallax of a celestial body we get:

S = 1/ tan p ≈ 1 / p

where S is the actual distance between the object and the observer

            p is the parallax angle observed

Here for Regulus, we get:

S = 1 / p

  = 1 / (0.042)                                     [ 1 parsecs = 1 arcseconds ]

  = 23.81 parsecs

We know that,

1 parsecs = 3.26 light-years = 206,000 AU

Converting the actual distance into light years we get:

23.81 parsecs = 23.81 × (3.26 light yrs) = 77.658 light-years

Therefore, the actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs which is 77.658 in light years.

Direct current, DC, flows in a _________ direction while alternating current, AC, the direction of flow ___________. A) single,
kramer
The flow of Direct current (DC) is constant and flows in one direction. Most digital electronics make use of DC. Alternating current (AC) periodically flows in reverse and is mostly used to deliver power to houses, buildings and the like. With that alone, you can already rule out A, C and D. 

The answer would then be B. constant, periodically reversing.

Packages having a mass of 6 kgkg slide down a smooth chute and land horizontally with a speed of 3 m/sm/s on the surface of a co
nalin [4]

Answer:

t = 1.02 s

Explanation:

The computation of the time required is shown below:

The package speed for belt is

= 3 -  1

= 2 m/s

Moreover, the decelerative force would be acted on the block i.e u.m.g

So, the decelerative produced

= 0.2 × 9.81

= 1.962 m/s^2

And, final velocity = 0

v = u - at

here

V = 0 = final velocity

 u = 2 m/s

so,

0 = 2 - 1.962 × t

t = 1.02 s
