Explanation:
kinetic energy is energy that it possesses due to its motion.
We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1) Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8 = 7058 kms Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2 Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9 = 9019 kms Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Given that an object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a frictionless incline so that its height changes by 20 m.
The parameters given from the question are:
Mass M = 2kg
Height h = 20m
Let g = 9.8m/s^2
At the bottom of the incline plane, the object will experience maximum kinetic energy.
From conservative of energy, maximum K.K.E = maximum P.E
Maximum P.E = mgh
Maximum P.E = 2 × 9.8 × 20 = 392 J
But
K.E = 1/2mv^2
Substitute the values of energy and mass into the formula
392 = 1/2 × 2 × V^2
V^2 = 392
V = sqrt( 392 )
V = 19.8 m/s
V = 20 m/s approximately
