The maximum height a typical person can jump is about 60cm (0.6m). By how much does the gravitational potential energy increase
sasho [114]

The gravitational potential energy will increase by 423.36 J

<h3>How to determine the potential energy at ground level</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 72 kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Height (h) = 0 m
  • Potential energy at ground level (PE₁) =?

PE = mgh

PE₁ = 72 × 9.8 × 0

PE₁ = 0 J

<h3>How to determine the potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m)</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 72 kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Height (h) = 0.6 m
  • Potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m) (PE₂) =?

PE = mgh

PE₂ = 72 × 9.8 × 0.6

PE₂= 423.36 J

<h3>How to determine the change in potential energy </h3>
  • Potential energy at ground level (PE₁) = 0 J
  • Potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m) (PE₂) = 423.36 J
  • Change in potential energy =?

Change in potential energy = PE₂ - PE₁

Change in potential energy = 423.36 - 0

Change in potential energy = 423.36 J

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statement about Earth’s magnetism.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The Earth's magnetism is generated in the core, which is composed of iron that is constantly churning

Explanation:

Magnetic fields are produced by charges in motion, therefore by currents.

The outer core of the Earth consists mainly of melted iron that is in constant motion. This iron in motion actually acts as a giant current, and therefore it is responsible for the creation of the Earth's magnetic field.

The magnetic field of the Earth is very weak, in fact its magnitude is on average between 25 and 65 microtesla (for comparison, normal magnets can even produce magnetic fields of a few millitesla).

However, its role is very important for the Earth: in fact, it provides a shield that blocks most of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun.

Jimmy is cooking pasta in a pot of water on the stove. He uses a stopwatch to see how long the pasta takes to cook depending on
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

stove

Explanation:

The stove is the independent variable in this question as it does not depend on anything like other variables such as pot, water, temperature and of cause pasta.

The pot depends on the stove, the water depends on the pot and stove, the pasta depends on the water and its temperature.

Cheers.

A 8.3-g wad of sticky clay is hurled horizontally at a 82-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay sti
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The speed of the clay before the impact was 106.35 m/s.

Explanation:

the only force doing work on the system is the frictional force, f, the work done by f is given by:

Wf = ΔK = Kf - Ki

The clay and the block will come to rest after sliding Δx = 7.50 m, if their intial speed is v and the combined mass is m and μ is the coefficient of friction and g is gravity,then:

         f×Δx = Ki

m×g×Δx×μ = 1/2×m×v^2

           v^2 = 2×g×Δx×μ

                  =  2×(9.8)×(7.50)×(0.650)

                  = 95.55

               v = 9.78 m/s

This is the veloty of clay and block after the clay hit the block.

if the velocity the clay and block attains after the impact is v and the initial speed of the clay is v1 and the mass is m and the speed of the block initially is V = 0 m/s and the mass is M, then according to the conservation of linear momentum:

m×v1 +M×V = v(m + M)

         m×v1 = v(m + M)

              v1 = v(m + M)/m

              v1 =  (9.78)(8.3×10^-3 + 82×10^-3)/(8.3×10^-3)

              v1 =  106.35 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the clay before the impact was 106.35 m/s.
