A group of skydiver are riding in a helicopter up to the spot form which they will jump. As they ride upwards. their gravitational potential energy increases.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy refers exerted energy on any object rising from the surface of Earth. It is the measurement of potential energy of any object depending on its position.

We can also define gravitational potential energy as the amount of energy required to raise an object to certain level from the surface of Earth or the work done to raise the object to some position from a position of reference. The formula for calculating the gravitational potential energy is

               \text {Gravitational potential energy}=m g \Delta h

Here, m is the object's mass, g -the acceleration and \Delta h - the object's distance from the Earth's surface.

So from this formula, it can be confirmed that if the helicopter carrying skydivers are made to ride upwards, then their gravitational potential energy will increase as the distance of helicopter from the Earth's surface is increased on riding the helicopter upwards.

A car is on a circular off ramp of an interstate and is traveling at exactly 25 mph around the curve. Does the car have velocity
netineya [11]

Answer:

The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating

Explanation:

Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.

An object islaunched at velocity of 20 m/s in a direction making an angle of 25 degree upward with the horizontal. what is the m
Aneli [31]

Answer:

\displaystyle y_m=3.65m

Explanation:

<u>Motion in The Plane</u>

When an object is launched in free air with some angle respect to the horizontal, it describes a known parabolic path, comes to a maximum height and finally drops back to the ground level at a certain distance from the launching place.

The movement is split into two components: the horizontal component with constant speed and the vertical component with variable speed, modified by the acceleration of gravity. If we are given the values of v_o and \theta\\ as the initial speed and angle, then we have

\displaystyle v_x=v_o\ cos\theta

\displaystyle v_y=v_o\ sin\theta-gt

\displaystyle x=v_o\ cos\theta\ t

\displaystyle y=v_o\ sin\theta\ t -\frac{gt^2}{2}

If we want to know the maximum height reached by the object, we find the value of t when v_y becomes zero, because the object stops going up and starts going down

\displaystyle v_y=o\Rightarrow v_o\ sin\theta =gt

Solving for t

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_o\ sin\theta }{g}

Then we replace that value into y, to find the maximum height

\displaystyle y_m=v_o\ sin\theta \ \frac{v_o\ sin\theta }{g}-\frac{g}{2}\left (\frac{v_o\ sin\theta }{g}\right )^2

Operating and simplifying

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{v_o^2\ sin^2\theta }{2g}

We have

\displaystyle v_o=20\ m/s,\ \theta=25^o

The maximum height is

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{(20)^2(sin25^o)^2}{2(9.8)}=\frac{71.44}{19.6}

\displaystyle y_m=3.65m

A hypothetical planet has a mass one-third of and a radius three times that of Earth. What is the acceleration due to gravity on
kap26 [50]

Answer:

F) The acceleration due to gravity is g/27

Explanation:

According to Newton gravitational law, the gravitational acceleration is directly proportional to the planet mass and inversely proportional to the square of distance.

Since our new planet has a mass of one-third of Earth's and radius 3 times of Earth's. This means the new planet is lighter and further away from the distance. This means g is first reduced by 3 due to smaller mass and then reduced by 9 due to square of 3 times the distance.

The gravitational acceleration on this new planet must be

\frac{g/3}{3^2}

\frac{g}{27}

So F) is the correct answer

The minimum charge on any object cannot be less than​
BigorU [14]

Answer:

1.6 x 10^{-19} Coulombs

Explanation:

In Physics, the standard unit of measurement of a charge is Coulombs and it's denoted by C. Also, the symbol for denoting a charge is Q.

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

The minimum charge on any object such as an electron cannot be less than​ 1.6 x 10^{-19} Coulombs and it's usually referred to as the fundamental unit of charge.
