how high a hill would a 75 kg hiker has to climb to increase her gravitational potential energy by 10000 j

Respuesta :

Your answer would be 13.6 m

Answer:

[tex]13.60 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the hiker is 75 kg

The gravitational potential energy by 10000 J

To solve :

The height of the hill.

Solve :

The gravitational potential energy of object , [tex]G=10000\ J[/tex].

Also, Mass of hiker, [tex]m=75 \ kg.[/tex]

Now,

The relation between Gravitational potential energy (G) and Mass of object (M) is given as:

[tex]G=m\times g \times h.[/tex]

Where , g is acceleration due to gravity, [tex]g=9.8\ m/s^2.[/tex].

Putting , values of G, g and m in above equation.

We get, [tex]10000=75\times 9.8 \times h\\\\h=\dfrac{10000}{75\times 9.8} \ m\\\\h=13.60\  m[/tex]

Hence , this is the required solution.
