's gravitational potential energy
Physics

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.

which planet should punch travel to if his goal is to weigh in at 118 lb? refer to the table of planetary masses and radii given
Harrizon [31]

The planet that Punch should travel to in order to weigh 118 lb is Pentune.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>The given parameters:</h3>
  • Weight of Punch on Earth = 236 lb
  • Desired weight = 118 lb

The mass of Punch will be constant in every planet;

W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g}\\\\m = \frac{236}{g}

The acceleration due to gravity of each planet with respect to Earth is calculated by using the following relationship;

F = mg = \frac{GmM}{R^2} \\\\g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

where;

  • M is the mass of Earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
  • R is the Radius of Earth = 6,371 km

For Planet Tehar;

g_T =\frac{G \times 2.1M}{(0.8R)^2} \\\\g_T = 3.28(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_T = 3.28 g

For planet Loput:

g_L =\frac{G \times 5.6M}{(1.7R)^2} \\\\g_L = 1.94(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_L = 1.94g

For planet Cremury:

g_C =\frac{G \times 0.36M}{(0.3R)^2} \\\\g_C = 4(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_C = 4 g

For Planet Suven:

g_s =\frac{G \times 12M}{(2.8R)^2} \\\\g_s = 1.53(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_s = 1.53 g

For Planet Pentune;

g_P =\frac{G \times 8.3 }{(4.1R)^2} \\\\g_P = 0.5(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_P = 0.5 g

For Planet Rams;

g_R =\frac{G \times 9.3M}{(4R)^2} \\\\g_R = 0.58(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_R = 0.58 g

The weight Punch on Each Planet at a constant mass is calculated as follows;

W = mg\\\\W_T = mg_T\\\\W_T = \frac{236}{g} \times 3.28g = 774.08 \ lb\\\\W_L = \frac{236}{g} \times 1.94g =457.84 \ lb\\\\ W_C = \frac{236}{g}\times 4g = 944 \ lb \\\\ W_S = \frac{236}{g} \times 1.53g = 361.08 \ lb\\\\W_P = \frac{236}{g} \times 0.5 g = 118 \ lb\\\\W_R = \frac{236}{g} \times 0.58 g = 136.88 \ lb

Thus, the planet that Punch should travel to in order to weigh 118 lb is Pentune.

<u>The </u><u>complete question</u><u> is below</u>:

Which planet should Punch travel to if his goal is to weigh in at 118 lb? Refer to the table of planetary masses and radii given to determine your answer.

Punch Taut is a down-on-his-luck heavyweight boxer. One day, he steps on the bathroom scale and "weighs in" at 236 lb. Unhappy with his recent bouts, Punch decides to go to a different planet where he would weigh in at 118 lb so that he can compete with the bantamweights who are not allowed to exceed 118 lb. His plan is to travel to Xobing, a newly discovered star with a planetary system. Here is a table listing the planets in that system (<em>find the image attached</em>).

<em>In the table, the mass and the radius of each planet are given in terms of the corresponding properties of the earth. For instance, Tehar has a mass equal to 2.1 earth masses and a radius equal to 0.80 earth radii.</em>

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
masya89 [10]

Answer:

When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Explanation:

option ( D )correct

A force is said to be conservative when the work done by the force in moving a particle from a point A to a point B is independent of the path followed between A and B and is the same for all the paths. The work done depends only on the particles initial and final positions. And when the initial and final position in conservative field are same the work done is said to be zero.
