2) Calculate the gravitational potential energy that a parachutist has just as he

Physics

5 0

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

Which circle has minimum flux in the following figure?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Circle Q

Explanation:

The flux of a field through a surface is given by:

\Phi = F A cos \theta

where

F is the field strength

A is the area of the surface

\theta is the angle between the direction of the field and the normal to the surface

In the figure, we see that the 4 surfaces have different orientations, so different angle \theta. In the formula, we see that the flux is maximum when \theta=0^{\circ}, which occurs when the field is perpendicular to the surface, and the flux is zero when \theta=90^{\circ}, (because cos 90^{\circ}=0) which occurs when the field is parallel to the surface.

In the figure, we see that circle Q is parallel to the direction of the field, so in this case the field is zero, while in all the other cases is not.

So, the correct answer is

Circle Q

A ball is thro.d hit the grouvelocity)?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball is 3.52 m/s.

Explanation:

A projectile is any object that moves under the influence of gravity and momentum only. Examples are; a thrown ball, a fired bullet, a kicked ball, thrown javelin, etc.

Given that the ball was thrown vertically upward on the top of a skyscraper of  height 61.9 m. So that the velocity can be determined by;

      u = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

Where: u is the velocity of the object, H is the height and g is the gravitational force on the object. Given that: H = 61.9 m and g = 10 m/s^{2}, then;

 u = \sqrt{\frac{2*61.9}{10} }

   = \sqrt{\frac{123.8}{10} }

u  = 3.5185

The velocity of the ball is 3.52 m/s.
