Given: distance 1 d₁ = 40 m; distance 2 d₂ = 3.8 m g = -9.8 m/s²
Initial Velocity Vi = 0 Final Velocity of stone 2 is unknown = ?
Total distance dₓ = d₁ - d₂ = 40 m - 3.8 m = 36.2 m
Formula: a = Vf² - Vi²/2d derive for Final Velocity Vf
acceleration is now due to gravity, therefore a = g
Vf = √2gd Vf = √2(9.8 m/s²)(36.2 m)
Vf = 26.64 m/s
Reason: The second stone will still start from rest.
Answer:
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy
The answer is A. The Sun and all the planets revolve around Earth.
Aristotle believed that the Earth was the centre of the solar system, and the Sun and the planets orbited around it. He believed that the universe was composed of Earth-like bodies, which were at rest, and of heavenly bodies, which were in perpetual motion.
Answer:
r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m
v1 = 9*10^4 m/s
From conservation of energy
K1 +U1 = K2 +U2
0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2
0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2
M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg
G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2
0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))
v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s
