Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
Answer:
D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them
Explanation:
Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.
And you can get it using the following equation:
Where :
G is the universal gravitational constant
: G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
m represent the mass of each of the two objects
d is the distance between the centers of the objects.
Answer:
|x| = √53
Explanation:
We are told that the vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (2,-7) .
Thus, magnitude of displacement is;
|x| = √(((-7) - 0)² + (2 - 0)²)
|x| = √(49 + 4)
|x| = √53
