Sean climbs a tower that is 71.3 m high to make a jump with a parachute. The mass of Sean plus the parachute is 81.4 kg. If U =

0 at ground level, what is the potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower?

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

When you jump off the earth, your momentum changes, but the Earth does not move. 1)If momentum is always conserved, why do we no
Mazyrski [523]

This question is off-base and misleading from the beginning.

When you jump off the Earth, your momentum changes, <em>and the Earth moves away from you with an equal change of momentum in the opposite direction</em>.

1). Momentum is conserved when you jump.  But we don't feel the Earth moving. Since the Earth's mass is a bazillion times greater than YOUR mass, the speed with which the Earth moves away from you is only one bazillionth of your speed.  That way, the product of (mass) x (speed) is the SAME for you and for the Earth, and momentum is conserved.

2). <em>Of course !</em>  If everyone jumped at the same time, the Earth's momentum would change.  In answer-(1), I explained that the Earth's momentum changes whenever <em>ONE PERSON</em> jumps.  So 7 billion people all jumping at the same time would certainly make it change.

A spring of force constant 285.0 N/m and unstretched length 0.230 m is stretched by two forces, pulling in opposite directions a
Kaylis [27]

Answer: W = 0.3853 J, e = 0.052 m

Explanation: Given that,

K =285.0N/M , L = 0.230m , F = 15N , e = ?

F = Ke

15 = 285 × e

e = 15÷ 285

e =0.052 m

e + L = 0.052 + 0.230

= 0.282m ( spring new length )

Work needed to stretch the spring

W = 1/2ke2

W = 1/2 × 285 x 0.052 × 0.052

W = 0.3853 J
