By approximately how much does your gravitational potential energy change when you jump

1 answer:

4 0

Potential Energy = height*mass*gravity
the height is factually the height of the center of mass, which will be varied the same as the lowest of your feet. So when you hurdle, the height that you jump can be used to distinguish the alteration in height of your center of mass.In other words, it is inclined on the mass of the human, be contingent on how extraordinary the person can jump. Supposing a man is 80 kg and he can jump such that his center of mass rises 0.3 m in Earth's standard gravitational field. This sums to approximately 240 Joules of increase in GPE.

Greeley [361]

First solve the potential energy of the biker. using the fomula:
PE = mgh
where m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity ( 9.81 m/s2)
h is the height

PE = 96 kg ( 1120 m ) ( 9.81 m/s2)
PE = 1054771.2 J
then power = Work / time
P = 1054771.2 J / ( 120 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min)
P = 146.5 W

The man is walking with speed v1 = 1.35 m/s to the right when he trips over a small floor discontinuity. Estimate his angular ve

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The angular velocity, $\omega = 1.05 rad/s$ clockwise

Explanation:

The mass of the man, m = 72 kg

The center of mass of the man will be at the middle of his body, particularly around his abdomen.

Height of the center of mass, h = 0.71 m

The speed of the man, v₁ = 1.35 m/s

Moment of inertia about the ankle joint, I = 66 kg/m²

Based on the principle of conservation of angular momentum (about the ankle joint):

Angular momentum before impact = Angular momentum after impact

Angular momentum before impact = -mv₁h

Angular momentum before impact = -(72 * 1.35 * 0.71)

Angular momentum before impact = -69.012 kg m²/s...............(1)

Angular momentum after impact = $I \omega$

Angular momentum after impact = $66 * \omega$ .................(2)

$66 \omega = -69.012\\\omega = -69.012/66\\\omega = -1.05 rad/s$

The angular velocity, $\omega = 1.05 rad/s$ clockwise

How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.
