Answer:

Height of sitting = 19.48 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

Current weight = 539 N

Weight = mg = 539 N

Mass x Acceleration = 539 N

Mass x 9.81 = 539

Mass = 54.94 kg

Gravitational potential energy = mgh = 10500 J

                     54.94 x 9.81 x h = 10500

                                h = 19.48 m

Height of sitting = 19.48 m

A ball is thrown straight up from ground level. It passes a 2-m-high window. The bottom of the window is 7.5 m off the ground. T
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

u=14.48m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of window h=2m

Height of window off the ground h_g=7.5m

Time to fall and drop t=1.3s

 

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

2=u1.3-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*1.3^2

2=u1.3-8.281

u=7.91m/s^2  

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

2as=v^2-u^2

Where

-2gh_g=v^2-u^2

-2*9.8*7.5=(7.91)^2-u^2

-147=62.5681-u^2

u=\sqrt{209.5681}

u=14.48m/s

Therefore the  ball’s initial speed

u=14.48m/s

Describe the differences among ultraviolet waves, visible light waves, and infrared waves. how are these waves alike?
sergeinik [125]
Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). ... The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency.

If the total momentum of a system is changing:
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

(d) a net external force must be acting on the system

Explanation:

Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity.

P = MV

According to Newton's second law of motion, " Force applied to a body (system) is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body (system) which takes place in the direction of the applied force (external force).

F ∝ΔMV

Therefore, If the total momentum of a system is changing, a net external force must be acting on the system.

(d) a net external force must be acting on the system
