Answer:

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Gravitational energy.

Explanation:

The potential energy is the stored energy, it is the energy and object posses at rest. When the base jumper is still at rest i.e without motion, she has potential energy.

Gravitational energy this refer to the potential energy an object or body with mass posses in relation to another object due to gravity.

This is seen when the base number is still at rest and the force of gravity on the Earth acting on her.

Kinetic energy is the energy posses by an object or body in motion.

As the base jumper falls to the ground, she posses kinetic energy which is the energy in motion.

An ideal horizontal spring-mass system has a mass of 1.0 kg and a spring with constant 78 N/m. It oscillates with a period of 0.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

T = 0.71 seconds

Explanation:

Given data:

mass m = 1Kg, spring constant K = 78 N/m, time period of oscillation T = 0.71 seconds.

We have to calculate time period when this same spring-mass system oscillates vertically.

As we know

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} }$

This relation of time period is true under every orientation of the spring-mass system, whether horizontal, vertical, angled or inclined. Therefore, time period of the same spring-mass system oscillating vertically too remains the same.

Therefore, T = 0.71 seconds

A rock climber wears a 8.1 kg backpack while scaling a cliff. After 28.2 min, the climber is 9.4 m above the starting point. How

mart [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of backpack, m = 8.1 kg

weight of climber, W = 656 N

height raised, h = 9.4 m

time, t = 28.2 min = 28.2 x 60 = 1692 second

weight of backpack, w = m x g = 8.1 x 9.8 = 79.38 N

Work done by the climber on the backpack = mg x h = 79.38 x 9.4 = 746.17 J

Wok done in lifting herself + backpack = (W + w) x h

= (656 + 79.38) x 9.4 = 6912.57 J

Power developed by the climber,P = Total work / time

P = 6912.57 / 1692 = 4.09 W

Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon

Nikitich [7]

The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.
