Find the potential energy associated with a 61-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington, 1900 m above sea level. Take the zero of potential energy at sea level.

The potential energy of the hiker is .

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the hiker, m = 61 kg

Height above sea level, h = 1900 m

We need to find the potential energy associated with a 61-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington. The potential energy is given by :

g is the acceleration due to gravity

So, the potential energy of the hiker is . Hence, this is the required solution.

answer: 802.3 kilo joules of energy represents 191.75 kilo calorie of energy.

explanation:

energy released during combustion of one mole methane = 802.3 kilo joules

if 1 kilo joule = 0.239006   kilo calorie

then ,802.3 kilo joule will be = 802.30.239006 kilo calorie

802.3 kilo joule = 191.75 kilo calorie

hence, the energy in kilo calorie is 191.75 kilo calorie.
