Assuming Luke has a mass of 90Kg how much potential energy does he have just as he leaves the plane 7620 meters up? Explain how

you know.

Bond [772]2 years ago

4 0

Answer : P = 6858 KJ

Explanation :

Mass of Luke, m = 90 Kg

Height, h = 7620 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = $10\ m/s^2$

Gravitational potential energy, P = $m\times g\times h$

So, P = $90\times 10\times 7620$

P = 6858 KJ

Hence, the potential energy is 6858 KJ.

How does gravity affect the velocity of falling objects?

sladkih [1.3K]

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studied? an electromagnetic wave a gamma ray

Anettt [7]

<span>So we want to know what kind of wave is the scientist is studying while studying earthquakes. Waves that produce earthquakes are mechanical waves. Gamma rays and radiowaves are both electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium but mechanical do. So the correct answer is mechanical waves.</span>

A compound microscope is made with an objective lens (f0 = 0.900 cm) and an eyepiece (fe = 1.10 cm). The lenses are separated by

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

-252.52

Explanation:

L = Distance between lenses = 10 cm

D = Near point = 25 cm

$f_o$ = Focal length of objective = 0.9 cm

$f_e$ = Focal length of eyepiece = 1.1 cm

Magnification of a compound microscope is given by

$m=-\frac{L}{f_o}\frac{D}{f_e}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{10}{0.9}\times \frac{25}{1.1}\\\Rightarrow m=-252.52$

The angular magnification of the compound microscope is -252.52

The magnitude of the force associated with the gravitational field is constant and has a value FF . A particle is launched from

uysha [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀

Explanation:

Given that,

A particle is launched from point B with an initial velocity and reaches point A having gained U₀ joules of kinetic energy.

Constant force = 12F

According to question,

The kinetic energy is

$U_{0}=Fx$ ....(I)

Constant force = 12F

A resistive force field is now set up ,

Resistive force is given by,

$F_{r}=12F$

When the particle moves from point B to point A then,

We need to calculate the kinetic energy

Using formula for kinetic energy

$U=F_{r}x$

Put the value of $F_{r}$

$U=12Fx$

Now, from equation (I)

$U=12U_{0}$

Hence, The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀.

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area. Capacitor 1 has a plate separation twice that of capacitor 2, and the qu

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

$V_1=8 V_2$

Explanation:

Given that:

Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A

separation distance of capacitor 2, $d_2=d$

separation distance of capacitor 1, $d_1=2d$

quantity of charge on capacitor 2, $Q_2=Q$

quantity of charge on capacitor 1, $Q_1=4Q$

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

$C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}$ .....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}$

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

$C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}$

For capacitor 1:

$C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}$

$C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]$

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$ ..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

$V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}$

$V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}$

& for capacitor 1:

$V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}$

$V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}$

$V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]$

$V_1=8 V_2$
