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

klasskru [66]
Potential energy<span> is the </span>energy<span> that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. It is calculated by the expression PE = mgh where mg is the weight of the book and h is the height. It is calculated as follows:

PE = 50(1) = 50 J
</span>PE = 50(1.5) = 75 J
PE = 50(2) = 100 J

The Gibson family have bought tickets to the Christmas Market. There are 4 mothers, 2 grand-mothers and 4 daughters. What is the
koban [17]
The minimum number of tickets that could admit all of them is six (6).

This thing is impossible to explain in words, so I shall attempt it with a diagram:

Here are the six ladies:

       ( A )      ( B )
          |           |
          |           |
       ( C )      ( D )
          |           |
          |           |
       ( E )       ( F )  

--  'E'  and  'F'  are the daughters of  'C'  and  'D' .

--  'C'  and  'D'  are the daughters of  'A'  and  'B' .

So look what we have now:

--  'A'  and  'B'  are the mothers of  'C'  and  'D' .
     There's 2 of the mothers.

--  'C'  and  'D'  are the mothers of  'E'  and  'F' .
     There's the OTHER 2 mothers. 
 
--  'A'  and  'B'  are the grandmothers of  'E'  and  'F' .
    There's the 2 grandmothers.

--  'E'  and  'F'  are the daughters of  'C'  and  'D' .
     There's 2 of the daughters.

--  'C'  and  'D'  are the daughters of  'A'  and  'B' .
     There's the OTHER 2 daughters.

You want to know what ? !
The group is even bigger than THAT.
There are also 2 GRAND-daughters in the family ...  'E'  and  'F' .

So now you have a list of 12 people ! ... 4 mothers, 2 grandmothers,
4 daughters, and 2 grand-daughters ... and they all get in to the
Christmas Market with only six tickets.    Legally !

Such a deal !

Don't forget :  Christmas this year is also the first day of Chanukah !
                     All for the same price !

The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.12 × 10^16 m away. How long would it take light from Alpha Ce
bonufazy [111]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (4.12x10^16 m) / (3 x10^8 m/s)

Time = 1.37 x 10^8 seconds

Divide the seconds by 86,400 to get days. Then divide the days by 365 to get years.

Time = about 4.35 years

Five identical quintuplets leave earth when they reach the age of 21, in the year 2121. Each quintuplet goes on a spaceship jour
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a problem based on time dilation , a theory given by Albert Einstein .

The formula of time dilation is as follows .

t₁ = \frac{t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

t is time measured on the earth and t₁ is time measured by man on ship .

A ) Given t = 20 years , t₁ = ? v = .4c

\frac{20}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.16c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.09 x 20

t₁= 21.82 years

B ) Given t = 5 years , t₁ = ? v = .2c

\frac{5}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.04c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.02 x 5

t₁= 5.1 years

C ) Given t = 10 years , t₁ = ? v = .8c

\frac{10}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.64c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.67 x 10

t₁= 16.7  years

D ) Given t = 10 years , t₁ = ? v = .4c

\frac{10}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.16c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.09 x 10

t₁= 10.9  years

E ) Given t = 20 years , t₁ = ? v = .8c

\frac{20}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.64c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.67 x 20

t₁= 33.4   years
