What is her change in gravitational potential energy

Reference no: EM13536918

In one day, a 81-kg mountain climber ascends from the 1410-m level on a vertical cliff to the top at 2208 m. The next day, she descends from the top to the base of the cliff, which is at an elevation of 1215 m.

(a) What is her change in gravitational potential energy on the first day?

(b) What is her change in gravitational potential energy on the second day?

Find whether the expansion is internally reversible : Air enters an insulated turbine operating at a steady state at 5 bar, 1000K and exits at 1 bar, 500K. Neglecting KE and PE changes and assuming ideal gas behavior, find whether the expansion is internally reversible, irreversible or impossible.

What is the maximum frictional force : A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weighs 145 N. The coefficient of static friction between the foot of the ladder and the ground is 0.40. A man weighing 760 N..

Consider a thin spherical shell with surface charge density : Consider a thin spherical shell with surface charge density σ = σoCosθ and radius R centered about the origin (x=y=z=0). Here σo is a constant.

What is the coefficient of kinetic friction : A block with mass m = 0.80 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.20 m. When released, the block moves on a horizontal table top for 1.00 m before coming to rest. The spring constant k is 1..

Magnitude-direction of antiprotons acceleration at instant : An antiproton (same properties as a proton except that q = -e) is moving in the combined electric and magnetic fields of the figure below, in which 1050 V/m is the magnitude of the electric field (directed down) and 466 m/s is the antiproton's speed ..

Inside of the vessel is maintained at atmospheric pressure : If the inside of the vessel is maintained at atmospheric pressure 1.013 × 105 Pa, what is the net force on a porthole of diameter 16.9 cm?

Definition of spherical harmonics in legendre polynomials : Starting from the definition of the spherical harmonics in terms of Legendre polynomials, derive Y30(θ,φ), Y31(θ,φ), and Y32(θ,φ). Write down the differential operators corresponding to the L2 and Lz operators in spherical coordinates.

Force on dielectric slab inserted partly into parallel plate : Calculate the force on a dielectric slab inserted partly into a parallel plate capacitor with plate dimensions L and w, with a length x of the dielectric lying between the plates. Assume that the plates are isolated, so the charge ±Q on the plates..
