Here, you can calculate it's potential energy with respect to ground.
We know, U = mgh
Here, m = 75 Kg
g = 9.8 m/s²       [ constant value for earth system ]
h = 300 m

Substitute their values into the expression:
U = 75 × 9.8  × 300
U = 220500 J

In short, Your Final Answer would be 220,500 J 

Hope this helps!

A spring is 6.0cm long when it is not stretched, and 10cm long when a 7.0N force is applied. What force is needed to make it 20c
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Approximately 25\; {\rm N} (assuming that this spring is ideal.)

Explanation:

The displacement of a spring is the new length of the spring relative to the original length.

For example:

  • When the 6.0\; {\rm cm}-spring in this question is stretched to 10\; {\rm cm}, the displacement is x = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}).
  • Likewise, if this spring is stretched to 20\; {\rm cm}, the displacement would be (20\; {\rm cm} - 6\; {\rm cm}).

If this spring is ideal, the force on the spring would be proportional to the displacement of the spring. In other words, if a force of F_{\text{a}} displaces this spring by x_{\text{a}}, while a force of F_{\text{b}} displaces this spring by x_{\text{b}}, then:

\displaystyle \frac{F_{\text{a}}}{x_{\text{a}}} = \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{x_{\text{b}}}.

In this question, it is given that a force of F_{\text{a}} = 7.0 \; {\rm N} would stretch this spring by x_{\text{a}} = (10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}). Thus, the force F_{\text{b}} required to stretch this spring by x_{\text{a}} = (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}) would satisfy:

\displaystyle \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}= \frac{F_{\text{b}}}{20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}}.

Rearrange and solve for F_{\text{b}}:

\begin{aligned} F_{\text{b}} &= \frac{7.0\; {\rm N}}{10\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}} \, (20\; {\rm cm} - 6.0\; {\rm cm}) \\ &\approx 25\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

An AM radio station broadcasts isotropically (equally in all directions) with an average power of 3.80 kW. A receiving antenna 7
Alecsey [184]

Answer:0.1759 v

Explanation:

Intensity of wave at receiver end is

I=\frac{P_{avg}}{A}

I=\frac{3.80\times 10^3}{4\times \pi \times \left ( 4\times 1609.34\right )^2}

I=7.296\times 10^{-6} W/m^2

Amplitude of electric field at receiver end

E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu _0c}

Amplitude of induced emf

=E_{max}d

=\sqrt{2\times 7.29\times 10-6\times 4\pi \times 3\times 10^8}\times 0.75

=17.591\times 10^{-2}=0.1759 v
