So this is the case of energy conversion. From potential to kinetic.
As energy is conserve:
Epi+Eki=Epf+Ekf ; i for initial and f for final. At begining object at rest hence Eki=0 while at final, object on the lowest position, hence epf=0 therefore:
Epi=Ekf
M.g.h=1/2.m.v^2
Assume no mass change during the process, then
G.h=1/2.v^2
Hence v at bottom:
v=sqrt(2×g×h) assume g=10m/s^2
=sqrt(2×10×80)=sqrt(1600)=40m/s
Hence velocity in the bottom is 40 m/s

Which statement best describes perigee?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth  --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun  --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

En la siguiente expresión matemáticas w=mg el peso w con relación a se relaciona con la masa m en una proporción
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a) Directamente proporcional

Explanation:

El peso se puede definir como la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo o un objeto como resultado de la gravedad.

Matemáticamente, el peso de un objeto viene dado por la fórmula;

Peso = mg

Donde;

m es la masa del objeto.

g es la aceleración debida a la gravedad.

De la expresión matemática, podemos deducir que el valor del peso de un objeto es directamente proporcional a la masa del objeto.

Por lo tanto, un aumento en la masa de un objeto provocaría un aumento en el peso del objeto y viceversa.

What happens to the temperature during an endothermic reaction? ANSWERS; The temperature stays constant. The temperature will de
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature will decrease (get colder).

Explanation:

Enthalpy changes are heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. The enthalpy change is the difference between the sum of the heat contents of products and the sum of heat contents of reactants.

  • For an endothermic change, heat is absorbed for the reaction.
  • The surrounding becomes colder at the end of the reaction and so is the reaction itself.
  • The right choice is that the temperature will decrease.
