Answer:

769,048.28Joules

Explanation:

A parachutist of mass 56.0 kg jumps out of a balloon at a height of 1400 m and lands on the ground with a speed of 5.10 m/s. How much energy was lost to air friction during this bump

The energy lost due to friction is expressed using the formula;

Energy lost  = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

Energy lost  = mgh + 1/2mv²

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

v is the speed

Substitute the given values into the formula;

Energy lost  = 56(9.8)(1400) + 1/2(56)(5.10)²

Energy lost  = 768,320 + 728.28

Energy lost  = 769,048.28Joules

<em>Hence the amount of energy that was lost to air friction during this jump is 769,048.28Joules</em>

How are mathematics and science related?
____ [38]
The relationship between math and science is very complicated, yet at the same time very simple. In fact all scientific equations are expressed into some form of mathematical equations. Science is a body of knowledge about the Universe. Mathematics is a language that can describe relationships and change in relationships in a rational way. Science generally uses mathematics as a tool to describe science and vice versa.
