A hiker tries to prepare a hard-boiled egg on the high slopes of Mount Everest. The base camp is located 5,300 meters above sea level. The hiker observes that the water begins to boil at 82⁰C, much lower than the 100⁰C needed to cook the raw egg. He hopes that just leaving the egg in the boiling water longer will let the egg cook. Will he have hard-boiled eggs for breakfast?

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
