Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

Suppose there was a star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond. How far away would it be?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: 3.26 light years

Explanation:

Each star has a parallax of one arcsecond at a distance of one parsec, which is equivalent to 3.26 light years.

so the parallax of 1 arcsecond will be at a distance of <em>1/1 × 3.26 light years</em>

Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s
