Change in Energy Quick Check

Physics
1 answer:
nika2105 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases.  (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases.  (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases.  (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

<u>FORCE OF GRAVITY:</u>

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. <u>The statement is false.</u>

<u></u>

<u>POTENTIAL ENERGY:</u>

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. <u>The statement is true.</u>

<u></u>

<u>ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:</u>

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. <u>The statement is false.</u>

But, this change is not significant.

<u>KINETIC ENERGY:</u>

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. <u>The statement is false.</u>

9. a. Determine the mass of a football which has a weight of 0.80 N on a planet where the gravitational field strength is 2 N/kg
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

m = 0.4 [kg]

Explanation:

Weight is considered as a force and this is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W=m*g\\

where:

W = weight = 0.8 [N]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration 2[N/kg]

Therefore:

m=W/g\\m = .8/2\\m = 0.4 [kg]

A muon is traveling at 0.988
AlexFokin [52]

As per Einstein's relation of relativity

m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

here we know that

m_0 = 207 m_e = 207 \times 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

m_0 = 1.88 \times 10^{-28} kg

now here we know that

v = 0.988 c

now from above equation mass of the muon is given as

m = \frac{1.88 \times 10^{-28}}{\sqrt{1 - 0.988^2}}

m = 1.22 \times 10^{-27} kg

now for the momentum of muon we can use

P = mv

P = 1.22 \times 10^{-27} \times 0.988(3 \times 10^8)

P = 3.62 \times 10^{-19} kg m/s

so above is the momentum of muon
