Answer: 78400 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.  That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.  

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:  

U_{p}=mgh  

Where:

m=100 kg is the mass of the skydiver

g=9.8 m/s^{2} the acceleration due gravity

h=80 m the height of the skydiver

Hence:

U_{p}=(100 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})(80 m)  

U_{p}=78400 J

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

E=eV

e is charge of electron

E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4

E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is 8\times 10^{-15}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

During a normal reaction to a stressful event, muscles are moved to their maximum capacity, and sensitivity is
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The paper focuses on the biology of stress and resilience and their biomarkers in humans from the system science perspective. A stressor pushes the physiological system away from its baseline state toward a lower utility state. The physiological system may return toward the original state in one attractor basin but may be shifted to a state in another, lower utility attractor basin. While some physiological changes induced by stressors may benefit health, there is often a chronic wear and tear cost due to implementing changes to enable the return of the system to its baseline state and maintain itself in the high utility baseline attractor basin following repeated perturbations. This cost, also called allostatic load, is the utility reduction associated with both a change in state and with alterations in the attractor basin that affect system responses following future perturbations. This added cost can increase the time course of the return to baseline or the likelihood of moving into a different attractor basin following a perturbation. Opposite to this is the system's resilience which influences its ability to return to the high utility attractor basin following a perturbation by increasing the likelihood and/or speed of returning to the baseline state following a stressor. This review paper is a qualitative systematic review; it covers areas most relevant for moving the stress and resilience field forward from a more quantitative and neuroscientific perspective.

1) they are attracting because if you look at the arrows they’re all pointing the same way.

2) if the magnet was turned around they would do the opposite and not attract ( this is called repulsion)

3) magnetic pole

4)magnet

5) magnetic force

6) magnetism

Hope this helps
