Respuesta :

Answer:

P = 1470980 J

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of the hiker is 79 kg

It is required to find the potential energy associated with a 79-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington, 1900 m above sea level.

It is given by :

[tex]P=mgh\\\\P=79\times 9.8\times 1900\\\\P=1470980\ J[/tex]

So, the potential energy of 1470980 J is associated with a hiker.
