Which three terms are needed to describe the energy a BASE jumper has as she falls toward the ground?

Physics
1 answer:
Thepotemich [5.8K]3 years ago
4 0

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.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

If Technician B was correct, and the master cylinder is defective - then no braking action would occur.

This is not true however, as some breaking action eventually occurs, meaning it must be out of adjustment.

A ladder 10 ft long rests against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a rate of 1.0 ft/s,
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The angle's rate of change is: -0.125 (degree/feet).

Explanation:

In this case of problem we need to find the angle's rate (α) of change when x=6 ft. First we need to relate (α) with x and y and the expression that do it is: \alpha =Arctan(\frac{y}{x}) where (α) is the angle between the ladder and the ground, x is the horizontal distance and y the vertical distance, now we need to have the variable y at function of x, so we can do it using the Pythagorean theorem and gets:y^{2} +x^{2} =10^{2} solving for y(x) we get:y(x)=\sqrt{100-x^{2}}. Replacing all we have got in the first equation: \alpha =Arctan(\frac{\sqrt{100-x^{2} } }{x}). Finally we derivate this equation at function of variable x and gets this result:\frac{d\alpha }{dx} =\frac{-1}{\sqrt{100-x^{2} } } evaluating at x=6 ft we get: -0.125(degree/feet). The negative signal means that the angle is decreasing.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Initial Velocity, u = 0 km/s (at rest)

Final Velocity, v = 16 km/s

Time taken, t = 3 sec

acceleration, a = (v - u)/t

= (16 - 0)/3

= 5.33 km/s^2

A long straight rod experiences several forces, each acting at a different location on the rod. All forces are perpendicular to
enot [183]

Answer:

1. C

2.C

Explanation:

1. The rod is perpendicular to every axis and forces are acting on every location. If the torque on the left side is zero, this indicates that forces with respect to their distance on the left side is zero and doesn't account for the net force at a point.

2. If the net torque about every point on every axis is zero, the rod will be rotational because each axis will yield a magnitude of zero which obeys the principle of rotation at a point.
