Un deportista de 72 kg trepa por una cuerda hasta una altura de 12m. Calcula el incremento de energía potencial gravitatoria que ha experimentado.

A 72 kg athlete climbs a rope to a height of 12m. Calculate the increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced.

8467.2J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the athlete = 72kg

Height of the climb  = 12m

Unknown:

Increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced = ?

Solution:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. It is mathematically expressed as;

  Gravitational potential energy  = m x g x h

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height

   Insert the parameters and solve;

  Gravitational potential energy  = 72 x 9.8 x 12

  GPE = 8467.2J

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.
