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

How will the magnetic field of a straight wire carrying a constant current interact with the needle of a compass? Does the inter
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.

Explanation:

A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.

Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.

When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.

The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.

GaryK [48]
Ruff's image is 50m behind the mirror surface and the image is also 3m tall.

This is because it is a plane mirror.

3. Si usted duplicara la amplitud de un M.A.S. ¿cómo cambiaría la frecuencia, velocidad máxima, la aceleración máxima y la energ
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

la frecuencia = ω/2π, nada cambio

v(max) = ωA → ω2Α = 2ωA  duplicara velocidad máxima

a(max) = ω²Α → ω²2Α = 2ω²Α duplicara la aceleración máxima

la energía total ½kA² → ½k(2Α)² = 4(½kA²) cuatro veces la energía
