Answer:

Height, h = 1.2 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m = 6 kg

Gravitational potential energy, E = 70.56 J

It is lifted off a ground to a height h. We need to find its height. It can be determined using the expression for the potential energy i.e.

E = m g h

g = acceleration due to gravity

$h=\dfrac{E}{mg}$

$h=\dfrac{70.56\ J}{6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}$

h = 1.2 meters

Hence, it is lifted off the ground to a height of 1.2 meters.

GPE= 70.56 J -------------------> GPE= mgh-------------> X= height
70.56 = 6(kg) * 9.8(m/s/s) * X
70.56 = 58.8X
70.56/58.8= 58.8X/58.8
X= 1.2
The height is 1.2 feet or meters (whatever unit you are using in this problem)

The Earth revolves around the Sun once a year at an average distance of 1.50×1011m. Find the orbital radius that corresponds to

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$9.4\cdot 10^{10} m$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the cube of the orbital radius and the square of the orbital period is constant for every object orbiting the Sun. So we can write

$\frac{r_a^3}{T_a^2}=\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}$

where

$r_o$ is the distance of the new object from the sun (orbital radius)

$T_o=180 d$ is the orbital period of the object

$r_e = 1.50\cdot 10^{11} m$ is the orbital radius of the Earth

$T_e=365 d$ is the orbital period the Earth

Solving the equation for $r_o$ , we find

$r_o = \sqrt[3]{\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}T_o^2} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^{11}m)^3}{(365 d)^2}(180 d)^2}=9.4\cdot 10^{10} m$

Suppose the coefficient of kinetic friction between mA and the plane in the figure(Figure 1) is μk = 0.15, and that mA=mB=2.7kg.

luda_lava [24]

A )
T = mB g + mB a
T + mA a - mA g sin 35° = (Mi) mA g cos 35°
------------------------------------------------------------
T = 2.7 · 9.81 + 2.7 a
T = 26.487 + 2.7 a
26.487 + 2.7 a + 2.7 a - 2.7 · 9.81 · 0.574 = 0.15 · 2.7 · 9.81 · 0.819
5.4 a + 26.487 - 15.2023 = 3.2539
5.4 a = 8.0296
a = 1.487 ≈ 1.5 m/s²
B )
T = 2,7 · 9.81 = 26.487
26.487 - 15.2035 = (Mi) · 2.7 · 9.81 · 0.819
11.2835 = (Mi) · 21.69
(Mi) = 11.2835 : 21.69 = 0.52

On a certain planet, which is perfectly spherically symmetric, the free-fall acceleration has magnitude g = go at the north pole

ohaa [14]

The reason why there is a difference between free-fall acceleration is a centrifugal force.
I attached a diagram that shows how this force aligns with the force of gravity.
From the diagram we can see that:
$F=F_g-F_{cf}=mg'-mw^2r'cos(\alpha)\\ ma=mg'-mw^2r'cos(\alpha)\\ a=g'-w^2rcos^2(\alpha)\\$
Where g' is the free-fall acceleration when there is no centrifugal force, r is the radius of the planet, and w is angular frequency of planet's rotation. $\alpha$ is the latitude.
We can calculate g' and wr^2 from the given conditions in the problem.
$g(90)=g_0;\ g_0= g'-w^2rcos^2(90)\\
g_0=g'\\
g(0)=ag_0;\ ag_0=g_0-w^2rcos^2(0)\\
ag_0=g_0-w^2r\\
w^2r=g_0(a-1)
$
Our final equation is:
$g=g_0-g_0(a-1)cos^2(\alpha)$
Colatitude is:
$\alpha_c=90^\circ-\alpha$
The answer is:
$g=g_0-g_0(a-1)cos^2(90-9)=g_0-g_0(a-1)sin^2(9)$

An energy storage system based on a flywheel (a rotating disk) can store a maximum of 3.7 MJ when the flywheel is rotating at 16

Likurg_2 [28]

The moment of inertia of the flywheel is 2.63 kg- $m^{2}$

It is given that,

The maximum energy stored on the flywheel is given as

E=3.7MJ= 3.7× $10^{6}$ J

Angular velocity of the flywheel is 16000 $\frac{rev}{min}$ = 1675.51 $\frac{rad}{sec}$

So to find the moment of inertia of the flywheel. The energy of a flywheel in rotational kinematics is given by :

E = $\frac{1}{2}$ $Iw^{2}$

By rearranging the equation:

I = $\frac{2E}{w_{2} }$

I = 2.63 kg- $m^{2}$

Thus the moment of inertia of the flywheel is 2.63 kg- $m^{2}$ .
