Answer:
<em>The gravitational potential energy of the parachutist is 3,528,000 J</em>
Explanation:
<u>Gravitational Potential Energy
</u>
It's the energy stored in an object because of its height in a gravitational field.
It can be calculated with the equation:
U=m.g.h
Where:
m = mass of the object
h = height with respect to a fixed reference
g = acceleration of gravity, usually taken as 
.
The parachutist has a mass of m=120 kg and he jumps at a height of h= 3,000 m. Computing the gravitational potential energy:
U = 120 * 3,000 * 9.8
U = 3,528,000 J
The gravitational potential energy of the parachutist is 3,528,000 J
Answer:
Inductive reactance is 50.00 ohms
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Voltage = 120v
Frequency = 60Hz
Current = 2.4 A
To find the inductive reactance;
Inductive reactance, XL = V/I
Where;
- XL represents the inductive reactance.
- V represents the voltage.
- I represents the current.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
XL = 120/2.4
<em>XL = 50.00 ohms</em>
Answer:
It is 3 m/s² downward.
Explanation:
The mass of an object, m = 30 kg
Upward force, F = 200 N
Downward force, F' = -300 N
We need to find the magnitude and direction of its acceleration.
Net force = F+F'
= 200+(-300)
= -100 N
We know that,
Force, F = ma, a is acceleration of the object
Hence, the acceleration is -3 m/s² and it is acting in the downward direction.
