A person who climbs up something (e.g., a hill, a ladder, the stairs) from the ground gains potential energy. a person's weight

(f = mg) is usually measured in pounds. for conversions, you may need to know that the weight of 1 pound is equal to 4.448 newtons. part a how many meters above the ground would a 240 lb person have to climb to gain 3 kilojoules (3000 joules) of potential energy?

We are given the following values:

weight w = 240 lb = 1,067.52 N

energy E = 3,000 J

 

The formula for potential energy is:

E = w h

where h is the height the person has to climb, therefore:

h = 3000 / 1067.52

<span>h = 2.81 m</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore he has to climb 2.81 meters</span>

I pull the throttle in my racing plane at a = 12.0 m/s2. I was originally flying at v = 100. m/s. Where am I when t = 2.0s, t =
Helen [10]
Summary:
a= 12.0 m/(s^2)
v= 100m/s
t1= 2.0s => s1=?
t2=5.0s => s2=?
t3=10.0s => s3=?
——————
Solution:
• when t1=2.0 s, I have gone:
S1= v*t1 + 1/2*a*(t1^2)
=100.0 *2 + 1/2*12.0*(2.0^2)
=224 (m)

• when t2=5.0s, I have gone
S2=v*t2+ 1/2*a*(t2^2)
= 100*5.0+ 1/2*12.0*(5.0^2)
=650 (m)

•when t3= 10.0s, I have gone:
S3=v*t3+ 1/2*a*(t3^2)
=100*10.0+ 1/2*12*(10.0^2)
=1600 (m)

Two resistors of 5.0 and 9.0 ohm are connected in parallel. A 4.0 ohm resistor is then connected in series with the parallel com
rewona [7]

Answer:

I1 = 0.772 A

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>: R1 = 5.0 ohm, R2 = 9.0 ohm, R3 = 4.0 ohm, V = 6.0 Volts

<u>To find</u>:  current I = ? A

<u>Solution: </u>

Ohm's law  V= I R

⇒   I = V / R

In order to find R (total) we first find R (p) fro parallel combination. so

1 / R (p) = 1 / R1  + 1/ R2          ∴(P) stand for parallel

R (p) = R1R2 / ( R1 + R2)

R (p) = (5.0 × 9.0) / (5.0 + 9.0)

R (p) = 3.214 ohm

Now R (total) = R (p) + R3     (as R3 is connected in series)

R (total) = 3.214 ohm + 4.0 Ohm

R (total) = 7.214 ohm

now I (total) = 7.214 ohm / 6.0 Volts

I (total) = 1.202 A

This the total current supplied by 6 volts battery.

as voltage drop across R (p) = V = R (p) × I (total)

V (p) = 3.214 ohm × 1.202 A  = 3.864 volts

Now current through 5 ohms resister  is I1 = V (P) / R1

I1 = 3.864 volts / 5 ohm

I1 = 0.772 A
