-- Before Adrian left the airplane, his gravitational potential energy was
(mass) x (gravity) x (height) = (80kg) x (9.81m/s²) x (1,000m) = 784,800 joules
-- When he reached the ground, his kinetic energy was
(1/2) x (mass) x (speed)² = (40kg) x (5m/s)² = 1,000 joules
-- Between the airplane and the ground, the Adrian lost
(784,800 joules) - (1,000 joules) = 783,800 joules
Where did all that energy go ?
Energy never just disappears. If it's missing, it had to go somewhere.
The Adrian used 783,800 joules of energy to push air our of his way
so that he could continue his parachute jump, and reach the ground
in time to be home for dinner.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Some objects gain momentum.
Answer:
Wm = 97.2 [N]
Explanation:
We must make it clear that mass and weight are two different terms, the mass is always preserved that is to say this will never vary regardless of the location of the object. While weight is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.
W = m*g
where:
m = mass = 60 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]
But in order to calculate the weight of the body on the moon, we must know the gravitational acceleration of the moon. Performing a search of this value on the internet, we find that the moon's gravity is.
gm = 1.62 [m/s²]
Wm = 60*1.62
Wm = 97.2 [N]
How fast a car goes is known as its speed.
Speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance)
It has nothing to do with the direction the car is going.
______________________________________
The car's velocity is its speed AND the direction it's going.
30 miles per hour . . . speed
40 miles per hour north . . . velocity
20 miles per hour south
20 miles per hour west . . . . . same speed, different velocity
-- 'Velocity' is NOT a big word that you use when you mean
'speed' but you want to sound smarter. It's a different thing.
-- If you don't know anything about the direction the car is going,
then you can't say anything about its velocity.
-- If the car is going around a curve, then its velocity is constantly
changing, even if its speed is constant.
Answer
a) Draw an upward force from the bottom to indicate upthrust
b) Upthrust is an upward force acting on an object floating on a liquid... hence there is an upward force acting on the iceberg which causes it to float.
c) Unfortunately I don't know the answer.
