Answer:
U = 56877.4 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:
U = mgh Formula (1)
Where:
U is the potential energy in Joules (J)
m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)
g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)
Data
m= 81.4 kg
g= 9.8 m/s²
h = 71.3 m
Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower
We replace data in the formula (1)
U = m*g*h
U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)
U = 56877.4 N*m
U = 56877.4 J
Answer:
Disruption to electricity power grid
Explanation:
We're looking a a solar flare. This will whip solar particles at high velocity into space and, If they are near earth, will interact with the earth's magnetic field. These magnetic changes will be measurable in the electric grid. Whether they are strong enough to cause "disruption" depends on a huge number of factors such as strength of and angles of the interacting magnetic fields and location of grid infrastructure,
If this case could ever happen, the speed would follow from this formula:
with f the frequency and lambda the wavelength. We are give a wavelength of 10m. The frequencies of the visible light can range between 400 to about 790 Terahertz, so let us pick a middle point of 600 THz ("green-ish") as a "representative."
The speed of such a wave would have to be 6e+15 m/s (which would be 7 orders of magnitude higher than the universal speed of light constant)
Answer:
It would be hard to test scientifically since it's subjective and can only be proven true if you conducted some experimentations and observations.
