Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

W = U_f - U_i

we know that

U_f = -\frac{GMm}{6r}

U_i = -\frac{GMm}{r}

now from above formula

W = -\frac{GMm}{6r} + \frac{GMm}{r}

W = \frac{5GMm}{6r}

so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

(a) a = 56.4 m/s², his acceleration a, in multiples of gravity g, is 5.76 g

(b) a = -201.43 m/s², his deceleration -a, in multiples of gravity g, is -20.56 g

Explanation:

(a)

When moving upwards, the initial velocity, u = 0 (he accelerated from rest)

When moving upwards, the final velocity, v = 282 m/s

time of  motion during this acceleration, t = 5 s

His acceleration is calculated as;

v = u + at

282 = 0 + 5a

a = 282 / 5

a = 56.4 m/s²

Ratio of his acceleration, a to gravity, g = a/g = 56.4 / 9.8 = 5.76

a = 5.76 g

(b)

When moving downwards, the initial velocity, u = 282 m/s

When moving downwards, the final velocity, v = 0 (he was brought to rest)

time of  motion during this deceleration, t = 1.4 s

His deceleration is calculated as;

v = u + at

0 = 282 + 1.4a

1.4a = -282

a = -282 / 1.4

a = -201.43 m/s²

Ratio of his deceleration, -a to gravity, g = -a/g = 201.43 / 9.8 = 20.56

a = -20.56 g

The tension has to hold the part of the weight in the direction of the string:

Which of the following has the greatest amount of kinetic energy a)slice of pizza b)a person at the top of the stairs c)wind d)a
Talja [164]

Answer:

c)wind

Explanation:

Wind from the given choices will have the greatest amount of kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion of a body. It is different from the energy at rest in a body.

  • Wind is air in motion.
  • Wind energy is a form of kinetic energy in motion.

A book on a table, a slice of pizza and a person at the top of the stairs are all at rest and will possess potential energy.
