Answer:

2850000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of diver = 950N

Altitude = 3000N

Unknown:

Total work done by the sky diver = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression:

Work done = Weight x height

Now insert the parameters:

Work done = 950 x 3000 = 2850000J

Two astronauts of mass 100 kg are 2 m apart in outer space. What is the

fredd [130]

The force of gravity between the astronauts is $1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have two astronauts, whose masses are:

$m_1 = 100 kg\\m_2 = 100 kg$

While the separation between the astronauts is

r = 2 m

Substituting into the equation, we can find the gravitational force between the two astronauts:

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(100)(100)}{2^2}=1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N$

a 230 kg roller coaster reaches the top of the steepest hill with a speed of 6.2 km/h. It then descends the hill, which is at an

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 81.619 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of roller coaster is $m=230\ kg$

It reaches the steepest hill with speed of $u=6.2\ km/h\ or \ 1.72\ m/s$

Hill to bottom is 51 m long with inclination of $45^{\circ}$

Height of the hill is $h=51\sin 45^{\circ}=36.06\ m$

Conserving energy to get kinetic energy at bottom

Energy at top=Energy at bottom

$\Rightarrow K_t+U_t=K_b+U_b\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=K_b+0\\\\\Rightarrow K_b=0.5\times 230\times 1.72^2+230\times 9.8\times 36.06\\\Rightarrow K_b=340.216+81,279.24\\\Rightarrow K_b=81,619.456\ J\\\Rightarrow K_b=81.619\ kJ$
