At height h above the surface of Earth, the gravitational acceleration is What is h? Note: The radius of Earth is 6380 km.

1 answer:

4 0

The acceleration of gravity is inversely proportional to
the square of the distance from Earth's center.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² on the Earth's surface ...
6380 km from the center.

If the acceleration of gravity at 'h' is 4.9 m/s² ... 1/2 of what it is
on the surface, then the distance from the center is

(6380 x √2) = 9,023 km (rounded) ,

and 'h' is the distance above the surface

= (9,023 - 6,380) = 2,643 km (rounded) .

Lottery balls are thrown into a hopper and are set into motion by air forced through the container. each ball has a mass of 0.00

In this three body system total kinetic energy remains constant:
$E_{k} = constant =0.0268 J$

$E_{k} = E_{k1}+ E_{k2}+ E_{k3}$
If we assume that upwards movement is positive and downwards movement is negative the formula is:
$E_{k} = E_{k1}- E_{k2}+ E_{k3}$

Formula for kinetic energy is:
$E_{k} = \frac{m v^{2} }{2}$

Now we have:
$E_{k} = \frac{m v_{1} ^{2} }{2} -\frac{m v_{2} ^{2} }{2} +\frac{m v_{3} ^{2} }{2} \\ E_{k} = \frac{m}{2} (v_{1} ^{2}-v_{2} ^{2}+v_{3} ^{2}) \\ \\ 0.0268= \frac{0.0044}{2} (1.3 ^{2}-1.66^{2}+v_{3} ^{2}) \\ \\ 0.0536=0.0022(1.69-2.7556+v_{3} ^{2}) \\ \\ v_{3} ^{2}=25.43 \\ \\ v_{3} =+-5.04$

We got two solutions: positive and negative. The speed is 5.04 m/s and direction can be upwards and downwards.
