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.

If the car is traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s, what is the approximate centripetal acceleration of the car?.
BaLLatris [955]

The vehicle's centripetal acceleration is equal to 22.5m/s²

Radius, r = 10 meter

Speed, V = 15 m/s

To ascertain the car's centripetal acceleration

A(c) = V²/R

We obtain the following when we enter the formula's parameters:

A(c) = 152/10

A(c) = 225/10

A(c) = 22.5m/s²

<h3>What is Centripetal acceleration ?</h3>

When an item moves in a circular route, one of its motion characteristics is centripetal acceleration. Any motion in a circle with an acceleration vector pointing in the direction of the circle's centre is referred to as centripetal acceleration.

  • Centripetal forces cause accelerations at the centripetal axis. With the exception of the Earth's rotation around the Sun, any satellite's circular motion around a celestial body is brought on by the centripetal force produced by their mutual gravitational pull.

Hence, Centripetal acceleration is

22.5 m/s²

Why don't astronauts use a fountain pen or a ball point pen with liquid ink in a spacecraft
mojhsa [17]
It's probably because there is no gravity which ballpoint pens need for inkflow to the tip.

Is the energy of a wave is calculated by squaring the frequency of the wave?
Misha Larkins [42]
Nope.
Energy is directly proportional to frequency. and when you calculate energy, you multiply frequency with a constant number called "Planck's Constant"

E = hf

Hope this helps!
