The maximum height the racer can climb : sin 4.3°= h / 1300
=> h = 97.5 m
At this point the potential energy : PE = mgh = ( 71 kg )( 9.81
m/s2 )( 97.5 m ) = 67.9 kJ
At the beginning, PE = 0 so the change of PE : delta PE = 67.9kJ
.....Answer .
Hope this helps you.
please thumbs up?.

A 76 kg bike racer climbs a 1500 m-long section of road that has a slope of 4.3 degree. By how much does his gravitational potential energy change during this climb? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
a 65-kg man goes on a hike and climbs 110m high hill. (a) What is the increase in the gravitational potential energy of the man? (b) Where does this energy come from? (c) The man's body is 20 percent efficient; that is, for every 20 J that are converted to mechnical energy, 100 J of chemical energy are expended, with 80 J going into thermal energy. How much chemical energy is expended by the man during the climb?
A 1300 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 12-m-long cable. The ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 15.0 ∘ with the vertical. By how much has the gravitational potential energy of the ball changed?
A 500-m-long ski slope drops at an angle of 6.4∘ relative to the horizontal. 1. Determine the change in gravitational potential energy of a 65-kg skier-Earth system when the skier goes down this slope. 2. If 20% of the gravitational potential energy change is converted into kinetic energy, how fast is the skier traveling at the bottom of the slope?
When an 89.2-kg adult uses a spiral staircase to climb to the second floor of his house, his gravitational potential energy increases by 2.29 x 103 J. By how much does the potential energy of a 17.5-kg child increase when the child climbs a normal staircase to the second floor?
6.5 A 75.0-kg painter climbs a ladder that is 2.75 m long leaning against a vertical wall. The ladder makes a 30.0 degree angle with the wall. (a) How much work does gravity do on the painter? (b) Does the answer to part (a) depend on whether the painter climbs at constant speed or accelerates up the ladder?
Please answer all parts
A 1300 kg car coasts on a horizontal road with a speed of 18 m/s. After crossing an unpaved, sandy stretch of road 38.5 m long its speed decreases to 14 m/s. (a) Was the net work done on the car positive, negative, or zero? positive zero negative Explain. This answer has not been graded yet. (b) Find the magnitude of the average net force on the car in the sandy section.
