Answer:

Student’s(50 kg) gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 80 m high = 39.2 kJ

Explanation:

   Potential energy is given by the expression, PE =mgh, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity value and h is the height.

 Here mass of student, m = 50 kilogram

           Height of cliff , h = 80 meter

           Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

 Potential energy, PE = 50 * 9.8 * 80 = 39200 J

                                    = 39.2 kJ

Student’s(50 kg) gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 80 m high = 39.2 kJ

For a snowboard jumper in the air, what force or forces will be most important for modeling the motion?
Reptile [31]

Answer: Gravitational force and drag force

Explanation:

For a snowboard jumper in the air, two forces would be acting. One in the downward direction- the gravitational pull and second in the opposite direction to the motion, the drag force due to air. If the snowboard jumper jumps in the air at a certain angle with the horizontal. The forces are written as the sum of vertical and horizontal components. Hence, for the modeling the motion, gravitational force and drag force are important,

A force of 85 N is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 15 m. How much work was done?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1275J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on box  = 85N

Distance moved  = 15m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.

 Work done  = Force x distance

Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Work done = 85 x 15  = 1275J

How is the electrostatic force affected when the magnitude of a charge is doubled?
BaLLatris [955]
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by:
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We can see that the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the charges. This means that when one of the charges is doubled, the magnitude of the electrostatic force will double as well, so the correct answer is
A) <span>The magnitude of the electrostatic force doubles</span>

A penny has a mass of 2.50 g, a diameter of 19.55 mm, and a thickness of 1.55 mm. Calculate the density of the material from whi
Dmitry [639]
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)

We know the mass (2.5 g).  We need to find the volume.

The penny is a very short cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is (π · radius² · height).
The penny's radius is 1/2 of its diameter = 9.775 mm.
The 'height' of the cylinder is the penny's thickness = 1.55 mm.

Volume  =  (π) (9.775 mm)² (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (95.55 mm²) (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (148.1 mm³)

             =        465.3 mm³

We know the volume now.  So we could state the density of the penny,
but nobody will understand what we have.  Here it is:

         mass/volume = 2.5 g / 465.3 mm³  =  0.0054 g/mm³  .

Nobody every talks about density in units of ' gram/(millimeter)³ ' .
It's always ' gram / (centimeter)³ '.
So we have to convert our number for the volume.

                         (0.0054  g/mm³)  x  (10 mm / cm)³

                 =      (0.0054 x 1,000)  g/cm³

                 =          5.37  g/cm³  .

This isn't actually very close to what the US mint says for the density
of a penny, but it's in a much better ball park than 0.0054 was.
