The change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199430 J.

<h3> Gravitational potential energy:</h3>

This is the energy of a body due to its position in a gravitational field. The  S.I unit of gravitational potential energy is Joules (J)

The Change in the skier's gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • ΔP.E = mg(Δh)............... Equation 1

Where:

  • ΔP.E = Change in the skier's potential energy
  • m = mass of the skier
  • Δh = change in height to which it was raised
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 55 kg
  • Δh = 370 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 55×370×9.8
  • ΔP.E = 199430 J.

Hence, The change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199430 J.

I which types of galaxy are globular clusters most likely to be found?
NemiM [27]
Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers. The name of this category of star cluster is derived from the Latin globulus—a small sphere.

The current supplied by a battery as a function of time is I(t) = (0.88 A) e^(-t*6 hr). What is the total number of electrons tr
Degger [83]

Answer:

e. 1.2 x 10²³

Explanation:

According to the problem, The current equation is given by:

I(t)=0.88e^{-t/6\times3600s}

Here time is in seconds.

Consider at t=0 s the current starts to flow due to battery and the current stops when the time t tends to infinite.

The relation between current and number of charge carriers is:

q=\int\limits {I} \, dt

Here the limits of integration is from 0 to infinite. So,

q=\int\limits {0.88e^{-t/6\times3600s}}\, dt

q=0.88\times(-6\times3600)(0-1)

q = 1.90 x 10⁴ C

Consider N be the total number of charge carriers. So,

q = N e

Here e is electronic charge and its value is 1.69 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

N = q/e

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

N= \frac{1.9\times10^{4} }{1.69\times10^{-19}}

N = 1.2 x 10²³

Calculate delta g for the reaction if the partial pressures of the initial mixture are pcl5 = .0029 atm, pcl3 = .27 atm, and pcl
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: equation for the reaction is given below

PCL2+PCL3=PCL5

Where pcl2=0.40atm,pcl3=0.27atm

Pcl5=0.0029atm

Using ∆G=-RTin(PCL5/PCl2*PCL3)

Where R=8.314J/K/mol and T=298K

∆G=-8.314*298in(0.0029/0.40*.27)

∆G=8962.6J/mol
