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>

What is true Most companies develop their globalization strategy around their comparative advantages?A. Globalization strategies
blagie [28]

Answer:

C. The strategic choice as to where a company should position itself along the globalization-regionalization continuum is contingent exclusively upon cultural and political distances.

Explanation:

Globalization, which is the integreation of operations of a company among the various countries of the world is a worldwide phenonmen engaged by most commpanies. This strategy is to have the market shares of that country.

Fortunately, most countries develop their globalization strategy around their comparative advantages. Thier strategic choice is usually based upon the political and cultural postion in which it find itself.

Example, a country that discourages the rearing of pork and only encourages the limited ownership of shares (10% stake, while the citizens owns 90% ) of a company setup in their country would affect the globalization drives of a pork processing company that was trying to setup factories in such country.
