A parachutist of mass 100 kg falls from a height of 500 m. Under realistic conditions, she experiences air resistance. Based on

what you know about friction, what can you say about the kinetic energy of the parachutist as she reaches the ground? Remember, 1 kJ = 1000 J. Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2.

Answer:

E_k=490\ kJ

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the parachutist, m = 100 kg

It falls from a height of 500 meters.

When the parachutist reaches the ground, the potential energy gets converted to its kinetic energy. The potential energy of the parachutist is given by the following formula as :

E_p=E_k=m\times g\times h

g is the acceleration due to gravity

E_k=100\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 500\ m

E_k=490000\ J

Since, 1 kJ = 1000 J

So, E_k=490\ kJ

So, as the parachutist reaches ground its kinetic energy is equal to 490 kJ.

Given:
mass: 100 kg
height: 500 m
1 kJ = 1000 J
gravity = 9.8 m/s²

velocity before impact: v = √2gh ; v = √2 * 9.8 m/s² * 500 m ; v = 98.99494 m/s

KE = 1/2 m v²
KE = 1/2 * 100 kg * (98.99494 m/s)²
KE = 490,000 J

Pls. see attachment.

A block is thrown with an initial velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 25.0o above the horizontal. What is the highest elevation
Serga [27]

The highest elevation reached by the ball in its trajectory is 16.4 m.

To find the answer, we need to know about the maximum height reached in a projectile.

What's the mathematical expression of the maximum height reached in a projectile motion?

  • The maximum height= U²× sin²(θ)/g
  • U= initial velocity, θ= angle of projectile with horizontal and g= acceleration due to gravity

What's the maximum height reached by a block that is thrown with an initial velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 25° above the horizontal?

  • Here, U = 30.0 m/s and θ= 25°
  • Maximum height= 30²× sin²(25)/9.8

= 16.4m

Thus, we can conclude that the highest elevation reached by the ball in its trajectory is 16.4 m.

The free-fall acceleration at the surface of planet 1 is 26 m/s^2 . The radius and the mass of planet 2 are twice those of plane
valkas [14]

Answer:

13 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity near the surface of a planet is:

g = MG / R^2

For planet 1, g = 26 m/s^2.

The gravity on planet 2 in terms of the mass and radius of planet 1 is:

g = (2M)G / (2R^2)

g = 1/2 MG / R^2

Since MG/R^2 = 26 m/s^2, then:

g = 13 m/s^2

What is mean by combination reaction ?​​
mrs_skeptik [129]

\underline{\purple{\large \sf Combination \: reaction :-}}

Those reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a one new substance are called Combination reaction

In this reaction, We can add :

  • Two or more elements can combine to form a compound.
  • Two or more compounds can combine to from a one new compound.
  • An element and a compound can combine to form a new compound.

\underline{\green{\large \sf For\: example :}}

\sf 2H_{2}  + O_{2} \:  \underrightarrow{Combination} \: 2H_{2}o

In this, Hydrogen is an element and Oxygen is another element. Both are combined to form compound 'Hydrogen oxide'. Hydrogen oxide is commonly known as water.
