Answer:
U = 56877.4 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:
U = mgh Formula (1)
Where:
U is the potential energy in Joules (J)
m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)
g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)
Data
m= 81.4 kg
g= 9.8 m/s²
h = 71.3 m
Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower
We replace data in the formula (1)
U = m*g*h
U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)
U = 56877.4 N*m
U = 56877.4 J
Answer:
While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.
