Energy is a conserved quantity and Quantifying gravitational potential and kinetic energies
Climbing Mt. Everest In 1953 Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful ascent of Mt. Everest. How many slices of bread did each climber have to eat to compensate for the increase of the gravitational potential energy of the system climbers-Earth? (One piece of bread releases about 1.0 X 106 J of energy in the body.) Indicate all of the assumptions used. Note: The body is an inefficient energy converter— see the reading passage at the end of this section.
