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

The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2  

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print A=0.5m^2

Area of both the foot A=2\times 0.5=1m^2

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure P=\frac{F}{A}

P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2

So the pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2 when person stands on both feet.

Use the diagram to answer each question.
valentina_108 [34]

Figure A shows cross section of a land form or rock. In Figure B, compression stress is applied on it. When compression stresses are applied on a rock, it squeezes the rock cause fold or fracture. The fault formed by compression stress is called thrust fault. If the compression stresses/ force continue to act on a rock it will converge and form thrust fault. In Figure C, tension stresses is applied on the rock. When a tension stress applied on a rock it deforms/ lengthen. There are three type of deformations occur due to tension stresses. One is elastic deformation, in which, rock retains it original shape when force/stresses are removed. Second is plastic deformation, in which rock lengthen and change occur permanently. Third type of deformation is result into fracture or breaking of rock. In Figure C, shear stresses are applied on rock. Shear stresses are applied with equal magnitude but in opposite direction. It cause breaking of rock.

A museum curator moves artifacts into place on various different display surfaces. If the curator moves a 145 kg aluminum sculpt
NikAS [45]
We are given the mass of an <span>aluminum sculpture which is 145 kg and a horizontal force equal to 668 Newtons. The coefficient of friction can be determined by dividing the horizontal force by the weight of the object. In this case, 668 N / 145 * 9.8 equal to coeff of friction of 0.47</span>

Cavendish used the attraction between large and small lead balls to measure an experimental value for the gravitational constant
irina1246 [14]

The gravitational constant was experimentally measured by W Cavendish using the attraction between big and small lead balls. is true

The correct answer is true

<h3>How do you define gravitational constant?</h3>

the strength of gravity. a factor in use in Newton's gravity law to relate the strength of the gravitational pull between two bodies with their masses and distance from one another. 6.67259 X 10-11 newtons per square kilogram is roughly the gravitational constant. G is its identifier.

<h3> where is the strongest gravity is?</h3>

The gravitational pull of the earth is greatest near sea level, normally, and weakens as you get further from the center, such as to the summit of Mt. Everest. Because the obloid earth was slightly wider, but only by a minor ratio, the gravity just at poles is stronger than that at the equator.
