Answer:
U = 56877.4 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:
U = mgh Formula (1)
Where:
U is the potential energy in Joules (J)
m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)
g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)
Data
m= 81.4 kg
g= 9.8 m/s²
h = 71.3 m
Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower
We replace data in the formula (1)
U = m*g*h
U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)
U = 56877.4 N*m
U = 56877.4 J
Use the equation I=V/R where I is current and V is the voltage plus R is the resistance so when voltage is the highest and resistance is lowest the current is the highest
Answer:
The maximum energy stored in the combination is 0.0466Joules
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Three capacitors C1-11.7 μF, C2 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.
Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CtV² where
Ct is the total effective capacitance
V is the supply voltage
Since the capacitors are connected in series.
1/Ct = 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3
Given C1 = 11.7 μF, C2 = 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF
1/Ct = 1/11.7 + 1/21.0 + 1/28.8
1/Ct = 0.0855+0.0476+0.0347
1/Ct = 0.1678
Ct = 1/0.1678
Ct = 5.96μF
Ct = 5.96×10^-6F
Since V = 125V
E = 1/2(5.96×10^-6)(125)²
E = 0.0466Joules
That's the definition of pressure ... force on a given area.
So when that force increases, it's an increase in pressure.
