A child’s toy launches a model parachutist of mass 0.40 kg vertically upwards. The model parachutist reaches a maximum height of

8.5 m. Calculate a) the gravitational potential energy gained by the model parachutes, b) the minimum possible speed with which the model parachutist was launched. c) In practice, the launch speed must be greater than the value calculated in (b). Explain why? *

Answer:

(a) =34.0J

(b) = 13.038m/s

(c) =

Explanation:

(a) mass (m) =0.45kg

Height(h) =8.5m

Gravity (g) =10m/s^2

But P. E (Potential Energy) = mass × gravity × height

P. E = 0.45×10×8.5

P. E = 34.0J

(b) using v^2=u^2 - 2gs

Where v = final velocity

u= initial velocity

g = gravity

s =distance

But at maximum height <u>v</u><u> </u>=0

0^2= u^2 - 2gs

Transpose u^2 we have

u^2 = 2gs

u^2 = 2×10×8.5

u^2 = 170

u = square root of 170

u = 13.038m/s

How do i exist (serious question, i'm in the dark abyss of nothing please help)
Reptile [31]
The only evidence you have that you exist as a self-aware being is your conscious experience of thinking about your existence. Beyond that you're on your own. You cannot access anyone else's conscious thoughts, so you will never know if they are self-aware.

You are tossing a ball directly up into the air. Before the ball leaves your hand, you are exerting a force directed against the
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

F n = 0.2 N

Explanation:

given,                                      

you are exerting force of 10 N on the ball.

mass of the ball = 1 kg              

acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8 m/s²

normal force on the ball = ?          

normal force is force exerted by the object to counteract the force from other object.                

normal force acting on the ball will be

F n = F - mg                          

F n = 10 - 1 × 9.8                        

F n = 10 -9.8                    

F n = 0.2 N            

Hence, normal force acting on the ball is equal to 0.2 N
