Answer: 1339.5 joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, GPE is the energy possessed by the jumper as he moves against gravity.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

Since Mass = 67kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

h = 2.04 metres

Thus, GPE = 67kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 2.04m

GPE = 1339.5 joules

Thus, the gravitational potential energy at the highest point is 1339.5 joules

What is the relationship between the size of a predator population and the size of a prey population
Contact [7]
<span>Let's put it this way. Say you have a killer-whale and a penguin. Killer-whales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killer-whale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killer-whales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killer-whales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killer-whale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.</span>

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo
BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s

We need to find \frac{d\theta}{dt} when x=8ft

The equation that relates x and \theta can be written as,

\frac{x}{6} tan\theta

x = 6tan\theta

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}

Replacing the value of the velocity

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta

The value of cos \theta could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}

Search light is rotating at a rate of 0.96rad/s
