Answer: -7J

Explanation:

To determine the change in potential energy, use the equation ΔPE=mgΔh

Δ

PE=mg

Δ

h

, where m is the mass, g= 9.8 m/s2

g= 9.8 m/s

2

, and Δh is the change in height. Hence, we have that the potential energy PE=4.0 kg×9.8 m/s2×-2.0 m=-78 J

PE=4.0 kg

×

9.8 m/s

2

×

-2.0 m=-78 J

. To verify that this is correct, note that since the cat changes the potential energy to kinetic energy by jumping, the potential energy decreases. Hence, the potential energy should be negative.

ASHA 777 [7]
If it starts from 0m/s...
s=?
u=0
a=-10
t=8
s=ut +1/2at^2
so s=(0×8)+ (0.5×-10×64)
s=0+(32×-10)
s=32×-10
s=-320metres

A jet plane comes in for a downward dive as shown in the figure below.
xxTIMURxx [149]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>5.5 g = g + v^2/r </span><span>
<span>4.5 g = v^2/r </span>
<span>v^2 = 4.5 g * r </span>
<span>v = sqrt ( 4.5 *9.81m/s^2 * 350 m) </span>
v = 124 m/s</span>

So the pilot will black out for this dive at 124 m/s. I am hoping that these answers have satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavors, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
