Answer:The objects in order from least to greatest potential energy:

3<1<4<2

Explanation:

1. Potential energy of a 15-kilogram stone found at a height of 3 meters:

$mgh=15 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times 3 m=441 J$

2. Potential energy 10 kilograms of water stored at a height of 9 meters:

$mgh=10 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times 9 m=882 J$

3. Potential energy 1-kilogram ball located 20 meters in the air:

$mgh=1 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times 20 m=196 J$

4. Potential energy box of books weighing 25 kilograms placed on a shelf 2 meters high:

$mgh=25 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times 2 m=490 J$

The objects in order from least to greatest potential energy:

3<1<4<2

An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0 km/hour is blowing southward.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The speed of the plane relative to the ground is 300.79 km/h.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of wind = 75.0 km/hr

Speed of plane relative to the air = 310 km/hr

Suppose, determine the speed of the plane relative to the ground

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of angle

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{v'}{v}$

Where, v'=speed of wind

v= speed of plane

Put the value into the formula

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{75}{310}$

$\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{75}{310})$

$\theta=14.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the resultant speed

Using formula of resultant speed

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{v''}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$\cos14=\dfrac{v''}{310}$

$v''=\cos14\times310$

$v''=300.79\ km/h$

Hence, The speed of the plane relative to the ground is 300.79 km/h.

A satellite is to be launched into an orbit of radius,r Show that v = 2gr, where V is the

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

We start by using the conservation law of energy:

$\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - G\dfrac{mM}{r} = 0$

Simplifying the above equation, we get

$v^2 = 2G\dfrac{M}{r}$

We can rewrite this as

$v^2 = 2\left(G\dfrac{M}{r^2}\right)r$

Note that the expression inside the parenthesis is simply the acceleration due to gravity $g$ so we can write

$v^2 = 2gr$

where $v$ is the launch velocity.
