Answer:
769,048.28Joules
Explanation:
A parachutist of mass 56.0 kg jumps out of a balloon at a height of 1400 m and lands on the ground with a speed of 5.10 m/s. How much energy was lost to air friction during this bump
The energy lost due to friction is expressed using the formula;
Energy lost = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy
Energy lost = mgh + 1/2mv²
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height
v is the speed
Substitute the given values into the formula;
Energy lost = 56(9.8)(1400) + 1/2(56)(5.10)²
Energy lost = 768,320 + 728.28
Energy lost = 769,048.28Joules
<em>Hence the amount of energy that was lost to air friction during this jump is 769,048.28Joules</em>
2.5 miles an hour but yea hope that helps
Energy can change forms and be transferred.
The bigger the object the greater the gravitational pull, so the farther away the big object is its gravitational force begins to decrease. Refer to the picture for more explanation.
