Answer:
<em>The gravitational potential energy of the parachutist is 3,528,000 J</em>
Explanation:
<u>Gravitational Potential Energy
</u>
It's the energy stored in an object because of its height in a gravitational field.
It can be calculated with the equation:
U=m.g.h
Where:
m = mass of the object
h = height with respect to a fixed reference
g = acceleration of gravity, usually taken as 
.
The parachutist has a mass of m=120 kg and he jumps at a height of h= 3,000 m. Computing the gravitational potential energy:
U = 120 * 3,000 * 9.8
U = 3,528,000 J
The gravitational potential energy of the parachutist is 3,528,000 J
The Answer to the question above is A. 2.7 x 102 joules.
P=w/t
w=15
t=3
therefore, 5 watts (b)
The buoyant force on any object acts in the direction opposite to the force of gravity. <em>(A)</em>
8.1) Here, Pressure increases with depth in the ocean at higher rate then that of increase in altitude in atmosphere. So, the rate of change of pressure is different in these journeys.So, your most correct answer would be option D.
8.2) Difference in the shape of lines is due to different density of air & water. So, that physical property and your answer would be option A
So, in Short Answers of your questions are:
8.1) - Option D
8.2) - Option A
Hope this helps!
