Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2,702,840 \ Joules }}

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy can be found using the following formula

E_p=m*g*h

Where <em>m</em>= mass, <em>g</em>= gravitational acceleration, and <em>h </em>= height.

We know the the mass of the woman is 70 kilograms and the height is 3,940 meters

If we assume this parachute is on Earth, then the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s²

m= 70 \ kg \\h= 3,940 \ m \\g= 9.8 \ m/s^2

Substitute the values into the formula.

E_p= (70 \ kg) (9.8 \ m/s^2)(3,940 \ m)

Multiply the first two numbers first.

E_p=686 \ kg*m/s^2 (3,940 \ m )

  • 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. Therefore, the first number (686 kg*m/s²) is also equal to 686 Newtons

E_p=686 \ N (3,940 \ m)

Multiply again.

E_p= 2702840 \ N*m

  • 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule. So, our answer of 2702840 N*m is equal to 2702840 J

E_p=2702840 \ J

The potential energy of the women is<u> 2,702,840 Joules </u>

<span>Object Performance. This hypothesis was given by the Swedish researcher Jean Piaget and it is of the understanding that items keep on existing notwithstanding when they can't be watched (seen, heard, touched, noticed or detected in any capacity). The theory is a leap forward in the study of the brain as it relates to little children and how they react to certain situations that puts their mental ability to a stretch. The researcher is of the idea that kid's reason and how that take things around them depends on their motor development which is what Hugh needed to keep on searching for the keys.</span>
