Homework Statement
A 95-kg mountain climber hikes up a mountain to an elevation of 5000 m. What is the change in the climber's potential energy?
Homework Equations
I might be missing something but here's everything that might be relevant:
w=fx
p=w/t
p=f*v
KE=1/2mv^2
PEg=mgh
PEe=1/2kx^2
Wnet=E
The Attempt at a Solution
I plugged the numbers into the gravitational potential energy equation and got 4,655,000J. Is this correct? If not, what am I missing?
