Answer: 1

an object positioned at some height in a gravitational field

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy stored due to position of the object or position at certain height relative to zero position.

Gravitational potential energy can also be expressed as object position at some height above or below zero position in a gravitational field

I think 1 and 2 make sense. But 1 make more sense than 2

A parachutist falls 50.0 m without friction. When the parachute opens, he slows down at a rate of 67 m/s*2. If he reaches the gr

KIM [24]

Answer:

3.49 seconds

3.75 seconds

-43200 ft/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 50=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{50\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=3.19\ s$

Time the parachutist falls without friction is 3.19 seconds

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 50+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=31.32\ m/s$

Speed of the parachutist when he opens the parachute 31.32 m/s. Now, this will be considered as the initial velocity

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 11=31.32+9.81t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{11-31.32}{-67}=0.3\ s$

So, time the parachutist stayed in the air was 3.19+0.3 = 3.49 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2$

Now the initial velocity of the last half height will be the final velocity of the first half height.

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=at$

Since the height are equal

$\frac{1}{2}at^2=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}at^2=at1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow 0.5t^2-1.1t-0.605=0\\\Rightarrow 500t^2-1100t-605=0$

$t=\frac{11\left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)}{10},\:t=\frac{11\left(1-\sqrt{2}\right)}{10}\\\Rightarrow t=2.65, -0.45$

Time taken to fall the first half is 2.65 seconds

Total time taken to fall is 2.65+1.1 = 3.75 seconds.

When an object is thrown with a velocity upwards then the velocity of the object at the point to where it was thrown becomes equal to the initial velocity.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-240^2}{2\times \frac{8}{12}}\\\Rightarrow a=-43200\ ft/s^2$

Magnitude of acceleration is -43200 ft/s²

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces which cause the motion.

and/or

Kinematics is the study of motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how the momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.
