I believe it’s the mass of the box but I don’t no if I’m right
Hope this helped
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
Answer:
H = start height (v = 0)
h = present height
v = present speed
assuming no friction
total energy = PE + KE
mgH = mgh + .5mv^2
if PE = KE then
mgH = mgh + mgh
h = H/2
potential energy = kinetic energy when object is at half its start height.

English "natural philosopher" (the contemporary term for physicist) Michael Faraday is renowned for his discovery of the principles of electro-magnetic induction and electro-magnetic rotation, the interaction between electricity and magnetism that led to the development of the electric motor and generator. The unit of measurement of electrical capacitance - the farad (F) - is named in his honor.
Faraday's experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene, also led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a semiconductor. While investigating the effect of temperature on "sulphurette of silver" (silver sulfide) in 1833 he found that electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature. This effect, typical of semiconductors, is the opposite of that measured in metals such as copper, where conductivity decreases as temperature is increased.
In a chapter entitled "On Conducting Power Generally" in his book Experimental Researches in Electricity Faraday writes "I have lately met with an extraordinary case ... which is in direct contrast with the influence of heat upon metallic bodies ... On applying a lamp ... the conducting power rose rapidly with the heat ... On removing the lamp and allowing the heat to fall, the effects were reversed."
We now understand that raising the temperature of most semiconductors increases the density of charge carriers inside them and hence their conductivity. This effect is used to make thermistors - special resistors that exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature.
