How many butter, which has a usable energy content of 6.0 cal/g (= 6000 cal/g), would be equivalent to the change in gravitational potential energy of a 64 kg man who climbs 7.07 km? assume that the average g for the climb is 9.80 m/s^2.

175.96 g

Explanation:

Potential energy required for the man to climb 7.07 km = m g h.

= 64 x 9.8 x 7070

= 4.434 x 10⁶ J

= 4.434 X 10⁶ / 4.2 cals

= 1.0557 x 10⁶ cals

= 1.0557 x 10⁶ / 6000 g of butter

= 175.96 g of butter.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
