Mass (m)=55kg

acceleration (a)=9.81 m/s^2, this is the acceleration due to gravity.

initial velocity=0m/s. The skydiver doesn’t start with any speed because she is on the plane or helicopter.

final velocity=16m/s This is the velocity (speed) the skydiver reaches

The equation we use is KE=.5mv^2
Kinetic energy=.5 mass x velocity^2

KE=.5(55kg)(16m/s)^2
KE=.5(55kg)(256m/s)
KE=.5(14080J)

J=Joules

KE=7040J

Kinetic energy is 7040 Joules (J)

Hope this helps

Un Esquiador Inicia un Salto Horizontal con una velocidad Inicial de 25 m/s. La Altura al Final de la Rampa es de 80 m del punto
Evgesh-ka [11]

Responder:

Explicación:

Para que podamos calcular el tiempo que le tomará al esquiador permanecer en el aire, encontraremos el tiempo de vuelo como se muestra;

T = 2Usin theta / 2

theta = 90 grados

U = 25 m / s

T = 25sin90 / 2 (9,8)

T = 25 / 19,62

T = 1,27 segundos

Por lo tanto, los cielos usarán 1.27 segundos en el aire.

La distancia horizontal es el rango;

Rango R = U√2H / g

R = 25√2 (80) /9,8

R = 25√160 / 9,8

R = 25 * √16,326

R = 25 * 4.04

R = 101,02 m

Por tanto, la distancia horizontal recorrida por el esquiador es 101,02 m

What is the magnitude of the Box's Acceleration?​
mojhsa [17]

The Box's Acceleration : g sin θ

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object  

∑F = m. a  

F = force, N  

m = mass = kg  

a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²  

We plot the forces acting on the block (picture attached) according to the y-axis and the x-axis.

Because the motion of the block is in the same direction as the x-axis, ignoring the friction force with the inclined plane, then

\tt \sum F_x=m.a\\\\W.sin\theta=m.a\\\\mgsin\theta=m.a\\\\a=gsin\thet\theta

A force of 10 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. What is its acceleration? A. 1 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 2 m/s2 D. 5 m/s2
Akimi4 [234]

The acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force acting on a body will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as acceleration exerted by the body. So, the net external force acting on any object will be equal to the product of mass of the object with acceleration exerted by the object. Thus,

                  Force = Mass \times Acceleration

So,

                 Acceleration=\frac{\text {Force}}{\text {Mass}}

As the force acting on the object is stated as 10 N and the mass of the object is given as 10 kg, then the acceleration will be

                  Acceleration =\frac{10 \mathrm{N}}{10 \mathrm{kg}}=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

So, the acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}
