Galileo discovered that objects that are more dense, or have more mass, fall at a faster rate than less dense objects, due to this air resistance. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly.

Derive an expression for the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.Ignorin
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy on the surface of the earth

= - GMm/ R

Potential at height h

=  - GMm/ (R+h)

Potential difference

= GMm/ R -  GMm/ (R+h)

= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )

= GMmh / R (R +h)

This will be the energy needed  to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.

Extra  energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h

= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h

= 1/2 x potential energy at height h

= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)

Action-reaction forces are not balanced forces because of what?
lara [203]

Oh but they are !

Newton's 3rd law of motion says that for every action, the <em><u>re</u></em>action is
equal and opposite.  That's as balanced as you can get.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60.0-m building and lands 100.0 m from the base of thebuilding. Ignore air resis
Bumek [7]

Answer:

a)3.5s

b)28.57m/S

c)34.33m/S

d)44.66m/S

Explanation:

Hello!

we will solve this exercise numeral by numeral

a) to find the time the ball takes in the air we must consider that vertically the ball experiences a movement with constant acceleration whose value is gravity (9.81m / S ^ 2), that the initial vertical velocity is zero, we use the following equation for a body that moves with constant acceleration

Y= VoT+0.5gt^{2}

where

Vo = Initial speed =0

T = time

g=gravity=9.81m/s^2

y = height=60m

solving for time

Y=0.5gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{Y}{0.5g} } \\t=\frac{60}{0.5(9.81)} \\

T=3.5s

b)The horizontal speed remains constant since there is no horizontal acceleration. with the value of the distance traveled (100m) and the time that lasts in the air (3.5s) we estimate the horizontal speed

V=\frac{x}{t} =\frac{100}{3.5}=28.57m/s

c)

to find the final vertical velocity we use the equations for motion with constant velocity as follows

Vf=Vo+g.t    

Vf=0+(9.81 )(3.5)=34.335m/S          

d)Finally, to find the resulting velocity, we add the horizontal and vertical velocities vectorially, this is achieved by finding the square root of the sum of its squares

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} =\sqrt{34.33^2+28.57^2} =44.67m/S
