Answer:

17.55 m/s²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of Krypton, M = 7.6 * 10^23 kg

Radius, R = 1.7 * 10^6 m

Gravitational constant, G = 6.6726 * 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

Acceleration due to gravity of planet of mass M is given as:

g = GM/R²

Since the object is close to the surface of Krypton, we can say that the distance from the Centre of Krypton is the radius of the planet Krypton.

Therefore,

g = (6.6726 * 10^(-11) * 7.6 * 10^23)/(1.7 * 10^6)²

g = 17.55 m/s²

Consider a system of a cliff diver and the earth. the gravitational potential energy of the system decreases by 28,000 j as the
olga2289 [7]

The decrease in gravitational potential energy of the system is given by

\Delta U = (mg) \Delta h

where

m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and \Delta h is the variation of height of the system.


(mg) also corresponds to the weight of the diver, therefore if we rearrange the equation and we use \Delta U=28000 J and \Delta h=32.0 m, we can find her weight:

mg=\frac{\Delta U}{\Delta h}=\frac{28000 J}{32 m}=875 N
