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.

Consider the following three statements: (i) For any electro-magnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c=frequency\times Wavelength

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Thus, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is constant and equal to 3\times 10^8\ m/s

<u>Option A is correct.</u>

Given, Frequency = 1\times 10^{18}\ Hz

Thus, Wavelength is:

Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}

Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^{18}}\ m

Wavelength=3\times 10^{-10}\ m

Also, 1 m = 3\times 10^{-10} Å

So,

<u>Wavelength = 3.0 Å</u>

<u>Option B is correct.</u>

As stated above, the speed of electromagnetic radiation is constant. Hence, each radiation of the spectrum travels with same speed.

<u>Option C is incorrect.</u>

Un alumno menciona que al abrir la ventana de su casa sintió cómo el frío ingresaba a su cuerpo. Menciona cuál es la verdadera r
stepan [7]

Answer:

My believe the answer is

A.) or B.)

Explanation:

Here is why I think A is the answer.

If we use the process of elimination, it would look like this,

a) Porque el aire tiene una temperatura menor que la de su cuerpo; por eso se propaga más rápido.

<em>This makes sense because we all know in winter the weather is very cold and freezing.</em>

b) Porque la temperatura de su cuerpo, siente el aire frio que entra por la ventana.

<em>I feel like this answer is the question, but it could also be an answer, sorry, I'm a little uncertain.</em>

c) Porque el calor de su cuerpo se propaga al medio ambiente, al ser la temperatura del niño mayor que la del aire exterior.

<em>This answer has nothing to do with the question, plus it is very false, our body heat is not enough to overcome the very cold temperature from outside.</em>

d) Porque la temperatura del aire es igual a la temperatura del cuerpo.

<em>This is false because again our body heat is not even compared to the freezing cold temperatures from the winter.</em>
