Answer:

The increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases

Explanation:

It is easier to climb a mountain in a zigzag way rather than climbing on a straight line but since the distance is the same ( vertical height ) , mass and gravity is the same. Hence the increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases.

gravitational potential energy = mgh ( same in both cases )

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = distance ( vertical height )

An 85-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (4km above the ground ) what is the potential energy
Airida [17]
Potential energy can be calculated using the following rule:
potential energy = mgh where:
m is the mass = 85 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
h is the height = 4 km = 4000 meters

Substitute in the above equation to get the potential energy as follows:
Potential energy = 85*9.8*4000 = 3332000 joules

Workers do 8000 J of work on a 2000-N crate to push it up a ramp. If the ramp is 2 m high, what is the efficiency of the ramp?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Efficiency = work out / work in

e = Fd / W

e = (2000 N) (2 m) / (8000 J)

e = 0.5

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations
il63 [147K]
Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

A hydraulic system contains 3 pistons. The input piston has an area of 0.625 in2, one of the output pistons ( piston A ) has an
Xelga [282]

The area of Piston A is 13.88 in^2

What is a hydraulic system?

The hydraulic system functions by using pressurized fluid.  The power of liquid fuel in hydraulics is significant and as a result, they are commonly used in heavy equipment.

Hydraulic system simply means a mechanical function that operates through the force of liquid pressure.

Here

A hydraulic system contains 3 pistons.

Pressure, P = 1440 psi

for piston A:

Area, A= 0.625 in^2

Force, F = 20,000 lb

We know that,

Force = Pressure x Area

F = P x A

Area ( piston A) = F / P

A = 20,000 / 1440

A = 13.88 in^2

Hence,

The area of Piston A is 13.88 in^2
