Answer:

If we’re talking about objects on the Earth, the gravitational potential energy is given by:

Explanation:

PEg=mgh

so the energy is proportional to the mass ( m ), but also to the strength of the gravitational field ( g ), and the height ( h ) to which the mass is lifted.

When you stretch a spring 20 cm past its natural length, it exerts a force of 8
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

F = -kx (This is the Hooke's Law equation)

F is the force the spring exerts = 8 N

-k = spring constant

x = displacement (The distance stretched past it's natural length) = 20cm

x needs to be in meters, and 20 cm is = to 0.2 meters

Finally:

8N = -k (0.2m)

-k = 8N / 0.2 m

k = -40 N/m

A sky diver, with parachute unopened, falls 625 m in 15.0 s. Then she opens her parachute and falls another 362 m in 139 s. What
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the motion and total time taken in that motion

here we know that initially the sky diver drops without opening parachute by total displacement 625 m

then she open her parachute and drop another 362 m

so first it took time t = 15 s to drop without open parachute

then it took t = 139 s to drop next displacement

so here total displacement is given as

d = 625 m + 362 m

total time is given as

t = 15 s + 139 s

so average velocity is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{625 + 362}{15 + 139}

v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s
