Why does the cyclist have less kinetic energy at position A than at position B?

Physics
1 answer:
Semmy [17]3 years ago
6 0
Suppose that the cyclist begins his journey from the rest from the top of a wedge with a slope of a degree above the horizontal.
 At point A (where it starts its journey), the energy is:
 Ea = m * g * h
 In other words, energy is only potential.
 At point B (located at the bottom of the wedge), the energy is:
 Eb = (1/2) * (m) * (v ^ 2)
 In other words, the energy is only kinetic.
 For energy conservation we have:
 Ea = Eb
 That is, we have that all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
 Which means that the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.
 answer:
 the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.

A 86 kg human stands on the surface of Venus. The mass of Venus is 4.9 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.1 × 106 m. Collapse questio
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

755.37 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus=m_1=4.9\times 10^{24}kg

Radius=r=6.1\times 10^6m

Mass of human=m_2=86 kg

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

Where G=Gravitational constant=6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 86\times 4.9\times 10^{24}}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2}

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F=755.37N
