Physics
it is estimated that 1.0 kg of body fat will provide
3.8 × 107 j of energy. a 60-kg mountain climber decides
to climb a mountain 4000 m high.
(a) how much work does the climber do against
gravity in climbing to the top of the mountain?
the answer for this is 2.4x10^6
(b) if the body’s efficiency in converting energy stored as
fat to mechanical energy is 25%, determine the
amount of fat the climber will use up in providing the
energy required to work against the force of gravity.
the answer is 0.25kg

Your starship, the aimless wanderer, lands on the mysterious planet mongo. as chief scientist-engineer, you make the following measurements: a 2.50-kg stone thrown upward from the ground at 14.0 m/s returns to the ground in 5.70 s ; the circumference of mongo at the equator is 2.20×10^5 km ; and there is no appreciable atmosphere on mongo. (a) the starship commander, captain confusion, asks for the following information: what is the mass of mongo? (b) if the aimless wanderer goes into a circular orbit 2.20×10^4 km above the surface of mongo, how many hours will it take the ship to complete one orbit? (c) an unmanned spacecraft is in a circular orbit around the moon, observing the lunar surface from an altitude of 44.0 km . to the dismay of scientists on earth, an electrical fault causes an on-board thruster to fire, decreasing the speed of the spacecraft by 23.0 m/s . if nothing is done to correct its orbit, with what speed (in km/h) will the spacecraft crash into the lunar surface?
