Answer:

<em>The gravitational potential energy of the parachutist is 3,528,000 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy </u>

It's the energy stored in an object because of its height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where:

m = mass of the object

h = height with respect to a fixed reference

g = acceleration of gravity, usually taken as $9.8 m/s^2$ .

The parachutist has a mass of m=120 kg and he jumps at a height of h= 3,000 m. Computing the gravitational potential energy:

U = 120 * 3,000 * 9.8

U = 3,528,000 J

The gravitational potential energy of the parachutist is 3,528,000 J

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The frequencies are $f_n = n (0.875 )$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the wave is $v = 0.700 \ m/s$

The length of vibrating clothesline is $L = 40.0 \ cm = 0.4 \ m$

Generally the fundamental frequency is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{v}{2 L }$

=> $f = \frac{ 0.700 }{2 * 0.4 }$

=> $f = 0.875 \ Hz$

Now this other frequencies of vibration experience by the clotheslines are know as harmonics and they are obtained by integer multiple of the fundamental frequency

The frequencies are mathematically represented as

$f_n = n * f$

=> $f_n = n (0.875 )$

Where n = 1, 2, 3 ....

Earl is using his hands to hold a metal pan 10 centimeters above a hot burner. How can this scenario be changed to demonstrate c

Olenka [21]

Answer: touch the pan to the burner

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat transfer:

conduction, convection and radiation.

For conduction, the heat transfers from a hot object to a cold object when the two are in contact.

For convection there is bulk motion of fluid occurs which transfers the heat.

For heat transfer by radiation, medium is not required.

Thus, to demonstrate conduction between pan and burner, the pan must touch the burner.

Which equation can be used to model simple harmonic motion

mixer [17]

Answer:x(t)= Acos(wt)

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd law,a particle of mass m acted on by a force is given by:Fs=-kx

Where x is displacement from equilibrium

K = spring constant

Therefore X(t) = Acos(2pit/T)

X(t)= Acos(wt)

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on the system, through the following equations.

ΔU = Q - W

where;

ΔU is the change in internal energy

Q is the heat transfer into the system

W is the work done by the system

Given;

ΔU = 155 J

W = 28.5 J

Q = ?

155 = Q - 28.5

Q = 155 + 28.5

Q = 183.5 J

Therefore, the heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.
