Answer:
velocity relative to the ground = 2.54 m/s
Explanation:
given data
still water Vx = 2.30 m/s
across a steam Vy = 1.20 m/s
solution
we get here first velocity relative to the ground is express as
velocity = ...............1
put here value and we get
velocity =
velocity = 2.54 m/s
As per the question the mass of the object is given as 70 kg.
The height of the object from ground is 8 m.
We are asked to calculate the potential energy of that object.
The potential energy of a object is the energy gained by the body due to its position or configuration. The energy due to the position of object from the surface is called gravitational potential energy .
If a body of mass m is at a height of h from the ground,then its potential energy is calculated as -
potential energy
where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
we have been given h= 8 m and m= 70 kg
we know that acceleration due to gravity g =9. 8 m/s^2
⇒
=5488 Joule
Here Joule is the unit of energy.
