iPad F session masteringphysics.com ® Mastering Physics: HW cho7 (5) Conservation of energy I Work and Exercise 7.I Mastering Physics l of 5 Exercise 7.I n one day, a 85 kg) mountain climber ascends from the 156 m) evel on a vertical cliff to the top at 2320 rm m The next day, she descends from the top to the base of the cliff, which is at an elevation of 1340Mrm m Part A What is her change in gravitational potential energy on the first day? Arm J) Delta U Submit Give Up Part B What is her change in gravitational potential energy on the second day? Delta U Mrm J) Submit Give Up Continue Processing mat 0%

Explanation / Answer

a)change in gravitational energy= final energy-final enegy

= mg*(Hf - Hi)

=85*9.81*(2320-1560)

=633726 J

b)

change in gravitational energy= final energy-final enegy

= mg*(Hf - Hi)

=85*9.81*(1340-2320)

=-817173 J
