The change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199430 J.

<h3> Gravitational potential energy:</h3>

This is the energy of a body due to its position in a gravitational field. The  S.I unit of gravitational potential energy is Joules (J)

The Change in the skier's gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • ΔP.E = mg(Δh)............... Equation 1

Where:

  • ΔP.E = Change in the skier's potential energy
  • m = mass of the skier
  • Δh = change in height to which it was raised
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 55 kg
  • Δh = 370 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 55×370×9.8
  • ΔP.E = 199430 J.

Hence, The change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199430 J.

Equation of orbit under central force​
SOVA2 [1]

I found this on arxsiv.org: “The central force motion between two bodies about their center of mass can be reduced to an equivalent one body problem in terms of their reduced mass m and their relative radial distance r. ... The potential V (r) from which this force is derived is also a function of r alone, F = −VV, V ≡ V (r).”

Which type of species would be the perfect option to repopulate an area that is in the primary succession stages?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area previously occupied by living things is disturbed—disrupted—then recolonized following the disturbance.The first organisms to appear in areas of primary succession are often mosses or lichens. These organisms are known as pioneer species because they are the first species present; pioneer species must be hardy and strong, just like human pioneers.A heterotroph is an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients. The term stems from the Greek words hetero for “other” and trophe for “nourishment.” Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based upon how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophs and heterotrophs.

Suppose we measure the energy stored in some inductor to be E when there is a current I running through it. If I double the curr
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).

Explanation:

The coil or inductor is a passive component made of an insulated wire that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field due to its form of coiled turns of wire, through a phenomenon called self-induction. In other words, inductors store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The energy stored in the space where there is a magnetic field in the inductor is:

E=\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}

where E is Energy [J], L is Inductance [H] and I is Current [A].

If you double the current in the inductor, then the new value of the current is I'= 2*I. So replacing the new total energy is:

E'=\frac{1}{2} *L*I'^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*(2*I)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*4*I^{2}=4*\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}

Then:

E'=4*E

<em><u>If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).</u></em>
