Answer: D.) 39,200 J
Via the equation of potential energy PE = mgh where m is mass, g is the average gravity on earth and h is the height. In this case m = 400 kg, g = 9.8, h = 10 m thus:
P.E.= 39,200 Joules

Given,
Distance from the surface to the center of the earth, d=4000 miles
Distance from the center to you at a height of 8000 miles, a= 8000+4000=12000 miles
The gravitational force acting on a person at the surface is equal to his weight.
From Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force is
Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the object/person, r is the distance between the center of the earth and the object/person
At the surface, this force is equal to the weight of the person, W=mg
i.e.
On substituting the of d,
At a height of 8000 miles from the surface, the gravitational force is equal to,
On dividing the above two equations,
Therefore,
Therefore at a height of 8000 miles above the surface of the earth, the force of gravity becomes 1/9 time your weight.
As we know by the first law of thermodynamics
here we know that
Q = heat given to the system
W = work done by the system
now here we can say
now we can say that heat will be given as
now here we can say that Jin does the error in his first step while calculation of change in internal energy as he had to subtract it while he added the two energy
So best describe Jin's Error is
<em>B )For step 1, he should have subtracted 78 J from 180 J to find the change in internal energy. </em>
