Answer:
In Newtonian mechanics, the gravitational energy possessed by a mass, because of the gravitational field produced by a second mass.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the balls collide after time t .
distance covered by falling ball
s₁ = v₀ t + 1/2 g t²
distance covered by rising ball
s₂ = v₀ t - 1/2 g t²
Given ,
s₁ + s₂ = D
D = v₀ t + 1/2 g t² + v₀ t - 1/2 g t²
= 2v₀ t
t = D / 2v₀
s₂ = v₀ t - 1/2 g t²
= v₀ x D / 2v₀ - (1/2) x g x D² / 4v₀²
= D / 2 - gD² / 8 v₀²
Which excerpt are you talking about?
Answer:
a) T = 608.22 N
b) T = 608.22 N
c) T = 682.62 N
d) T = 533.82 N
Explanation:
Given that the mass of gymnast is m = 62.0 kg
Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s²
Thus; The weight of the gymnast is acting downwards and tension in the string acting upwards.
So;
To calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope; we have;
T = mg
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s²
the tension in the string is T - mg = ma (Since acceleration a is upwards)
T = ma + mg
= m (a + g )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² + 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg) (11.01 m/s²)
= 682.62 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an downward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s² the tension in the string is mg - T = ma (Since acceleration a is downwards)
T = mg - ma
= m (g - a )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² - 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg)(8.61 m/s²)
= 533.82 N
