Remember that the equation for gravitational potential energy is PE = mgy, where PE = potential energy, m=mass, g=acceleration of gravity, and y=distance above your reference level.

You know that PE = 137200J, y = 200m, and g = 9.8 m/s^{2}. Plug these values into the equation and solve for m:
PE = mgy\\
137200\:J = m(9.8 \: m/s^{2})(200\:m)\\
m = 70 kg

The mass of the skier is 70kg.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

<h2>3.36J</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 1.3kg

distance moved s= 2.8m

opposing frictional force= 0.34N

assume g= 9.81m/s^2

we know that work done= force *distance moved

1. work done to push the book= 1.55*2.8=4.34J

2. Work against friction = force of friction x distance

                                       = 0.34*2.8=0.952J

Step two:

the work done on the book is the net work, which is

Network done= work done to push the book- Work against friction

Network done= 4.32-0.952=3.36J

<u>Therefore the work of the 1.55N 3.36J</u>

A 50-gram sample of water is initially at a temperature of 22 °C. The sample is heated until the temperature is 32 °C The specif
forsale [732]

Answer:

500cal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 50g

Initial temperature  = 22°C

Final temperature  = 32°C

Specific heat of water  = 1cal/g

Unknown:

Amount of heat absorbed by the water in calories  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

       H  = m c Ф

H is the amount of heat absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the temperature change

       H  = 50 x 1 x (32  - 22)  = 500cal

GenaCL600 [577]

The beginning development of a star is marked by a supernova explosion, with the gases present in the nebula being forced to scatter. As the star shrinks, radiation of the surface increases and create pressure on the outside shell to push it away and forming a planetary nebula or white dwarf.
