Answer:

The increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the box, m = 2.35 kg

It is lifted from the floor to a tabletop 1.30 m above the floor, h = 1.3 m

We need to find the increase the gravitational potential energy. Initial it will placed at ground i.e. its initial gravitational potential is equal to 0. The increase in the gravitational potential energy is given by :

$U=mgh$

$U=2.35\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1.3\ m$

U = 29.93 Joules

So, the increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

A child bounces a 52 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the superball is from 20 m/s downward to 14 m/s upward.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Force on superball will be $=9.8222\times 10^{-4}N$

Explanation:

We have given mass of superball m = 52 gram = 0.052 kg

Velocity change from 20 m/sec downward to 14 m/sec upward

Let downward velocity is positive then upward velocity is negative

So downward velocity is + 20 m/sec and upward velocity is -14 m/sec

Time is given as 1800 sec

We know that acceleration is rate of change of velocity

So $a=\frac{20-(-14)}{1800}=0.0188m/sec^2$

According to newton second law

Force = ma = 0.052×0.0188 $=9.8222\times 10^{-4}N$

In an attempt to reduce the extraordinarily long travel times for voyaging to distant stars, some people have suggested travelin

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

a) $v=0.999124c$

b) $E=7.566*10^{22}$

c) $E_a=760 times\ larger$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance to Betelgeuse $d_b=430ly$

Mass of Rocket $M_r=20000$

Total Time in years traveled $T_d=36years$

Total energy used by the United States in the year 2000 $E_{2000}=1.0*10^20$

Generally the equation of speed of rocket v mathematically given by

$v=\frac{2d}{\triangle t}$

$v=860ly/ \triangle t$

where

$\triangle t=\frac{\triangle t'}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}$

$\triangle t=\frac{36}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}$

$\triangle t=\sqrt{(860)^2+(36)^2}$

$\triangle t=860.7532$

Therefore

$v=\frac{860ly}{ 860.7532}$

$v=0.999124c$

b)

Generally the equation of the energy E required to attain prior speed mathematically given by

$E=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} }-1(20000kg)(3*10^8m/s)^2$

$E=7.566*10^{22}$

c)Generally the equation of the energy $E_a$ required to accelerate the rocket mathematically given by

$E_a=\frac{E}{E_{2000}}$

$E_a=\frac{7.566*10^{22}}{1.0*10^{20}}$

$E_a=760 times\ larger$
