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

elena-s [515]
Kinetic energy. thermal energy (a low form of energy ) is a form of kinetic energy as it is produced as a result of motion of particles either if they vibrate at their position or they move along longer paths. Motion produces friction or resistance which leads to excitation and thus the heat is produced. The higher the motion of the particles, the higher would be the thermal energy.

15 points! An atomic nucleus initially moving at 420 m/s emits an alpha particle in the direction of its velocity, and the remai
alexandr1967 [171]

The alpha particle is emitted at 4235 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem: the total momentum of the original nucleus must be equal to the total momentum after the alpha particle has been emitted. Therefore:

p_i = p_f\\ Mu=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 =  

where:  

M =222u is the mass of the original nucleus

v=420 m/s is the initial velocity of the nucleus

m_1 = 4 u is the mass of the alpha particle

v_1 is the final velocity of the alpha particle

m_2 = 222u-4u = 218 u is the mass of the daughter nucleus

v_2 = 350 m/s is the final velocity of the nucleus

Solving for v_1, we  find the final velocity of the alpha particle:

v_1 = \frac{Mu-m_2 v_2}{m_1}=\frac{(222)(420)-(218)(350)}{4}=4235 m/s

Two trains are headed towards each other on the same track unbeknownst to the engineers. One departs San Francisco. Its average
aalyn [17]

Answer:

7,166 hrs =430  minutes

Explanation:

Since both train are on the same track, going one towards the other, the relative speed is the addition of both, then the time they need to meet, and consistently crash, is the time that (65mph + 55 mph)=120mph need to travel the total distance of 860 miles, of course in this case one part is traveled by the first train and the rest by the other. Then to find the time we use a three rule

1 h --->120mi

X ---->860mi, then X=(860 mi* 1h)/120 mi = 43/6 hrs= 7,16666 hrs, turning this into minutes need that we notice 1h=60min, then 43/6 hrs *60 min/hrs = 430 minutes.

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the sun due to the earth?The earth does not exert any gravitational f
Sholpan [36]

I haven't worked on Part-A, and I don't happen to know the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.  

But whatever it is, it's exactly, precisely, identical, the same, and equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun.

I think that's the THIRD choice here, but I'm not sure of that either.
