Answer:
The kinetic energy is: 50[J]
Explanation:
The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore
PE = [J]
The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.
In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.
When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of
This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore
Ke= 50 [J]
Answer:
The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.
The gravitational force is an attractive force.
Explanation:
Gravitational force is a long range force of attraction between any two masses.
Mathematically given as :
where:
are the masses
r= distance between the center of mass of the two objects.
G= gravitational constant =
From the above relation of eq. (1) it is clear that,
Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and directly proportional to the masses.
The mass of an object is independent of its size due to the fact that density may vary for different objects.
The force of gravity varies with height as:
where:
gravity at height
of the center of mass of the object from the center of mass of the earth.
and we know that force:
where: m= mass of the object.
