A) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

where m is the mass of the object, and v its speed. For the lion in our problem, m=45 kg and v=14.2 m/s, so its kinetic energy is

b) the increase in gravitational potential energy of the lion is given by:

where g is the gravitational acceleration, and

is the increase in altitude of the lion. In this problem,

, so the increase in gravitational potential energy is

c) When the fox reaches the top of the tree, its gravitational potential energy is

As it jumps, its kinetic energy is

So the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps is
Answer:
(a) 1767.43 N
(b) 182.45 N
Explanation:
Radius of earth, R = 6450 km
Weight of person, W = 7070 N
mass of person, m = W / g = 7070 / 9.8 = 721.4 kg
(a) h = 6450 km
The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by


g' = g / 4 = 9.8 / 4 = 2.45 m/s^2
The weight of the person at such height is
W' = m x g' = 721.4 x 2.45
W' = 1767.43 N
(b) h = 33700 km
The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by


g' = g x 0.0258 = 9.8 x 0.0258 = 0.253 m/s^2
The weight of the person at such height is
W' = m x g'
W' = 721.4 x 0.253
W' = 182.45 N
False i just took the test and put true as a guess but got it wrong so it is false
please give me a brainlies
