The summit of Mount Everest is 8848.0 m above sea level, making it the highest summit on Earth. In 1953, Edmund Hillary was the

first person to reach the summit. Suppose upon reaching there, Hillary slid a rock with a 45.0 g mass down the side of the mountain. If the rock’s speed was 27.0 m/s when it was 8806.0 m above sea level, how much work was done on the rock by air resistance?

The work done on the rock by air resistance is 39019.68 J

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>

Mass (m) = 45 g
Velocity (v) = 27 m/s
Height (h) = 8848 m
Work done =?

<h3>Definition of work </h3>

Work is simply defined as the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the force.

Work = Force × distance

From the question given above, we can see that height is involved. Thus,

Work = potential energy

Potential energy = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g) × height (h)

Potential energy = mgh

Therefore,

Work = mgh

With the above formula, we can obtain the work done.

<h3>How to determine the work done </h3>

Mass (m) = 45 g = 45 / 1000 = 0.45 Kg
Height (h) = 8848 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Work done =?

Work = mgh

Work = 0.45 × 9.8 × 8848

Work = 39019.68 J

A 48 kg cart is sitting motionless at the top of the hill. At what height, did the cart start at, to reach 88435 J of energy at

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer : The height is 188 meters

Explanation : When the cart reached at the end from top of hill then the cart have potential energy .

Given that,

Potential energy = 88435 J

Mass of cart = 48 kg

We know that,

The potential energy is

$mgh =88435$

$h= \dfrac{88435}{48\times9.8}$

$h = 187.9 = 188\ meters$

So, the height of the top is 188 meters.

Here we can say that there is no external torque on this system

So here we can say that angular momentum is conserved

so here we will have

$I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2$

now we have

$I_1 = mr^2$

$I_1 = (1kg)(0.05^2)$

$I_1 = 25\times 10^{-4} kg m^2$

similarly let the final distance is "r"

so now we have

$I_2 = mr^2$

$I_2 = 1r^2$

now from above equation we have

$(25\times 10^{-4})37 = (r^2)(58)$

$r = 0.04 m$

so final distance is 0.04 m between them
