First one, holding a basketball in the air. Potential energy is the energy it has mostly from gravity. The further you go from the center of mass, the more energy.
Explanation:
this is a physical property
Answer: 96N
Explanation:
To calculate the velocity of the impact On the persons head, we have
h = gt²/2
14 = 9.81t²/2
t² = 28/9.8
t² = 2.86
t = 1.69s
V = u + at
V = 0 + 9.81*1.69
V = 16.58m/s
a(average) = (v1² + v2²) /2Δy
a(average) = 16.58² + 0)/2 * 0.005
a(average) = 274.8964/0.01
a(average) = 27489.64m/s²
Using newton's second law of motion,
F(average) = m * a(average)
F(average) = 0.0035 * 27489.64
F(average) = 96.21N
Therefore the force needed by the acorn to do much damage starts from 96N
Here we know that mass of the person is 90 kg
His weight is given as 30 lbf
so here we can convert it into Newton as we know that
1 lbf = 4.45 N
Now from above conversion

now we can use this to find the gravity at this height



now we know that with height gravity varies as



so above is the height from the surface of earth
