Answer:

7,546 J

Explanation:

recall that Potential energy is given by

P.E = mgΔh

where m = 70kg (given)

g = 9.8 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity)

Δh = change in height

= distance from top of building to top of car

= height of building - height of car

= (5+8) - 2

= 11m

substituting all these into the equation:

P.E = mgΔh

= 70 x 9.8 x 11

= 7,546 J

If earth did not rotate how would air at the equator move?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Heat rises, and it is warmer at the equator, so I think warm air would rise at the equator and move towards the cooler poles.

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration $a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ directed downward, initial vertical position $d=750 m$ , and initial vertical velocity $v_0 = 0$ . We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

$v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad$

substituting, we find

$v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s$

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

$v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s$

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting $v_f$ with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:
