He loses 720 J for every metre he descends

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>Let's recall </em><em>Kinetic Energy</em><em> Formula as follows:</em>

\boxed{Ek = \frac{1}{2}mv^2}

<em>Ek = Kinetic Energy ( Joule )</em>

<em>m = mass of the object ( kg )</em>

<em>v = speed of the object ( m/s )</em>

\texttt{ }

\boxed{Ep = mgh}

<em>Ep = Potential Energy ( Joule )</em>

<em>m = mass of the object ( kg )</em>

<em>g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>h = height position of the object ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass = m = 72 kg

gravitational field strength = g = 10 N/kg

height = h = 1 m

<u>Asked:</u>

gravitational potential energy = Ep = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will solve this problem as follows :</em>

Ep = m g h

Ep = 72 \times 10 \times 1

Ep = 720 \texttt{ J}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

<em>He loses </em><em>720 J</em><em> for every metre he descends</em>

\texttt{ }

Answer:

720 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy that Essam loses for every metre is given by:

\Delta U=mg \Delta h

where

m=72 kg is Essam's mass

g=10 N/kg is the gravitational field strength

\Delta h=1 m is the difference in height

By substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

\Delta U=(72 kg)(10 N/kg)(1 m)=720 J

Probably for the umbilical cord that connects babies (from their early stages in the womb to their removal) to their mothers. The cord is cut, forming the belly button. This is analogous to astronauts in space.

Determina el tamaño de la arista de un cubo hecho de plata, cuya masa es de 10.49 kg.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

88.2 N

Explanation:

Datos

Lcubo = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Vcubo = Vfluido desalojado= 0.1 m x 0.1 m x 0.1 m = 10-3 m

mcubo = 10 kg

dfluido = 1000 kg/m3

g = 9.8 m/s2  

Sabemos que el peso aparente de un cuerpo que se sumerge en un fluido es:

Paparente=Preal−Pfluido

Teniendo en cuenta que:

Preal = mcubo⋅gPfluido=E= dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g

Como el cuerpo se sumerge completamente en el fluido, el volumen de fluido desalojado es exactamente el volumen del cubo. Por lo tanto si sustituimos los datos que nos proporcionan en el enunciado en la primera ecuación:

Paparente=mcubo⋅g−dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g ⇒Paparente=10 kg ⋅9.8 m/s2 − 1000 kg/m3 ⋅10−3 m ⋅9.8 m/s2 ⇒Paparente = 88.2 N

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and changing states of matter?
oee [108]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.

Your mom is making lunch which forces are acting on your mom
N76 [4]

The forces acting on your mom while cooking is Air resistance and the force of friction

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>1. Air resistance:</u>

  • In simple words, Air resistance can be stated as the type of friction  between the air and the other materials.
  • In this scenario, there will be an air resistance and the air hits the mom while cooking via the doors or windows

<u>2. The force of friction:</u>

  • In simple words, friction can be stated as, the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
  • While cooking the food mom would experience the friction since friction is the transfer of heat, and cooking is the process of receiving that heat.

What causes the rider on a roller coaster to experience the + or - g’s if gravity always remains the same on earth
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Yes both = and - g can be felt by a rider in a roller coaster.

Explanation:

It is crucial to understand how we feel gravity in this case.

We humans have no sensory organs to directly detect magnitude and direction like some birds and other creatures, but then how do we we feel gravity?

When we stand on our feet we feel our weight due to the normal reaction of floor on our feet trying to keep us stand and our weight trying to crush us down. In an elevator we feel difference in our weight (difference magnitudes of gravity) but actually we are feeling the differences in normal reactions under different accelerations of the elevator.

In the case of roller coaster you will feel +g as you  sit on a chair in it, but will feel -g when you are in upside down position as roller coaster move.

When you are seated you will feel the normal reaction of seat on you giving you the feeling +g and the support of the buckles to stay in the roller coaster when you are upside down will give you the -g feeling.

<u>This is just the physics approach</u>, a biological approach can be given in association with sensors relating to ears.
