GPE=mgh
m= 12.5kg
g= 9.81 always
h=?
568=12.5*9.81*h
Solve for h
You will get 4.63m
Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.
Hope this help
Answer:
distance difference would a) increase
speed difference would f) stay the same
Explanation:
Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.
Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are
Their difference in distance are therefore:
(As
So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.
Similarly for their velocity difference
Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.
This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.
If you walk at a pace of 2 miles per hour for 5 hours, you should have walked 10 miles. You would be 2 miles away from your base camp.
