m = mass of the cat being lifted = 5 kg

h = height to which the cat is raised into air = 2 m

g = acceleration due to gravity of earth = 9.8 m/s²

U = gravitational potential energy gained by the cat

Gravitational potential energy gained by the cat is given as

U = m g h

inserting the values in the above equation

U = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2 m)

U = (5 x 9.8 x 2) (kg m²/s²)

U = 98 J

How can we measure magnitude of displacement from a v-t curve?

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The displacement can be calculated by measuring the area of the curve when we move along the t curve. So, that would give the displacement.

sdas [7]

Answer:

Same work is done by the two workers

The first worker exerts more power than the second person

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the applied force

Power is the rate at which work is done

Consider two planets of mass m and 2m,

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Part a)

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 10.125$

Part b)

$\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{4.5r}{r}} = 2.12$

Part c)

$\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 9.54$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the gravitational force is given as

$F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

so we will have to find the ratio of force on two planets due to star

so here we have

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{m_1r_2^2}{m_2r_1^2}$

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{m (4.5r)^2}{(2m) r}$

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 10.125$

Part b)

Orbital speed is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

so the ratio of two orbital speed is given as

$\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{r_2}{r_1}$

$\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{4.5r}{r}} = 2.12$

Part c)

Time period is given as

$T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}$

so the ratio of two time period is given as

$\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \sqrt{\frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3}}$

$\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \sqrt{\frac{4.5r^3}{r^3}}$

$\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 9.54$

You are driving at 35 m/s east and notice another car that is initially located 462 m in front of you and is moving east at 25 m

GaryK [48]

The easiest way to answer this question is by realizing there are relating the velocities of the two cars. To tackle this problem, you have to understand the picture. Car 1 travels at 35m/s and Car 2 travels at 25m/s. Based on relative velocities, we can understand that Car 1 travels 10m/s faster than Car 2 every second. So we can interpret Car 1's relative velocity to Car 2 as 10m/s. Car 1 needs to travel 10m/s till a point of catching up to Car 2 which is 462m away.

v = 10m/s

d = 462m

v = d/t

(10) = (462)/t

t = 46.2s

So it takes 46.2 seconds for Car 1 to catch up to Car 2, but the question is asking how far does Car 1 travel to catch up. So we have to use Car 1's velocity and not the relative velocity:

v = 35m/s

v = d/t

(35) = d/(46.2)

d = 1617m

Car 1 traveled a total distance of 1617m.
