Answer:

<h2>170km</h2>

Explanation:

If a ship sets out to sail to a point 154 km due north and an unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 72 km due east of its starting point, then the ships distance from the original destination can be gotten by finding the displacement of the ship and this can be gotten by using pythagoras theorem.

Let D be the unknown displacement

According to the theorem;

D² = 154² + 72²

D² = 23716 + 5184

D² = 28900

D = √28900

D = 170km

<em>This means that the ship must now sail a distance of 170km for it to reach its original destination.</em>

6. Mr. Leppold jumps out of a plane with a parachute...before the chute opens,
polet [3.4K]

1) He has both potential and kinetic energy

2) Before the parachute opens, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

1)

The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by:

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the body above the ground

On the other hand, the kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion; it is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the speed of the object

Here Mr. Leppold has both potential and kinetic energy before opening the parachute, because:

- It is moving at a certain speed, so v\neq 0, therefore he has kinetic energy

- He is at a certain height above the ground, h\neq 0, therefore he has potential energy

2)

The total mechanical energy of Mr.Leppold is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy:

E=PE+KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of air resistance, this quantity remains constant.

During the fall, the height of Leppold decreases: this means that as h decreases, the potential energy decreases  too.

However, the total energy E must remain constant: therefore, this means that the kinetic energy KE must increase, and this occurs because the speed of Mr. Leppold increases as he falls.
