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

Describe how pieces of rope move as waves pass
MaRussiya [10]
Well, as the waves move it moves the rope as if its trying to take shape of it. Since the rope it light it will move along the ocean and the ocean will keep pushing up on the rope. (even without the waves the water is pushing the rope up so it can take its shape)

Maybe that'll help

A mass m = 550 g is hung from a spring with spring constant k = 2.8 N/m and set into oscillation at time t = 0. A second, identi
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The second system must be set in motion t=0.70s seconds later

Explanation:

The oscillation time, T, for a mass, m, attached to spring with Hooke's constant, k, is:

T=2\pi\sqrt(\frac{m}{k} )

One oscillation takes T secondes, and that is equivalent to a 2π phase. Then, a difference phase of π/2=2π/4, is equivalent to a time t=T/4.

If the phase difference π/2 of the second system relative to the first oscillator. The second system must be set in motion t=\frac{\pi}{2}\sqrt(\frac{m}{k})=\frac{\pi}{2}\sqrt(\frac{0.55}{2.8}= 0.70s) seconds later
