Answer:

1.118KJ

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

If the body has a mass (m), and climbs through height (h), the potential energy will be mass×acceleration due to gravity×height

P.E = mgh

Given m = 114kg, g = 9.81m/s² h = 1m

P.E = 114×9.81×1

P.E = 1,118.34Joules

P.E = 1.118KJ

This shows that increase in the gravitational potential energy of the man-earth system is 1.118KJ

What would happen? Why?
koban [17]
Lightning rods provide low resistance paths to the ground that’ll be used to conduct the enormous electrical currents when lightning strikes happen. So the system will attempt to carry the harmful electrical current away from it and safely to ground. The system will have the ability to handle enormous electrical currents associated with the lightning strikes, if they contact a material that isn’t a good conductor then the material will suffer massive heat damage. So the lightning rod system is considered the best conductor & this allows the current to flow to the ground without causing any massive heat damage.

A race car travels 44.3 m/s around a banked (45° with the horizontal) circular (radius = 200 m) track. What is the magnitude of
djverab [1.8K]

The magnitude of the resultant force is given by the centripetal force, since the car is under a circular motion. So, we have:

F_c=ma_c

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where v is the linear speed and r the radius of the circular motion. Replacing this and solving:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\F=80kg\frac{(44.3\frac{m}{s})^2}{200m}\\F=785N*\frac{1kN}{1000N}\\F=0.785kN
