how much gravitational potential energy do you give a 70 kg person when you lift him up 3 m in the air?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Given gravitational potential energy when he's lifted is 2058 J.

Kinetic energy is transferred to the person.

Amount of kinetic energy the person has is -2058 J

velocity of person = 7.67 m/s².

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given:

Weight of person = 70 kg

Lifted height = 3 m

1. Gravitational potential energy of a lifted person is equal to the work done.

PE_g=W=m\times g\times h\\Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 \ m/s^2 \\PE_g= m = m\times g\times h= 70\times 9.8 \times 3 = 2058\ kg.m/s^2 = 2058\ J

Gravitational potential energy is equal to 2058 Joules.

2. The Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is being transferred to the person.

3. Kinetic energy gained = Potential energy lost = -PE_g = -2058\ kg.m/s^2

Kinetic energy gained by the person = (-2058 kg.m/s²)

4. Velocity = ?

Kinetic energy magnitude= \frac{1}{2} m\times v^2 = m\times g \times h

Solving for v, we get

v=\sqrt{2gh} =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 3} = \sqrt{58.8} = 7.67 m/s^2

The person will be going at a speed of 7.67 m/s².

Kepler's laws and explanations​
IgorC [24]

Answer:

<em>The first law states that</em> every planet describes an elliptical path about the sun as a single focus.

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>second</em><em> </em><em>law</em><em> </em><em>states</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em>The line joining the planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals.

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>third</em><em> </em><em>law</em><em> </em><em>states</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em>The squares of the period of revolution is proportional to the cubes of the mean distance between the planet and the sun
