A. 1/9
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is given by
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the two masses
r is the distance between the two masses
From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the distance is tripled (increased by a factor 3), the magnitude of the force changes by a factor
Answer:
Jim's kinetic energy is 54.67 J.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass, m = 15 kg
Velocity, V = 2.7 m/s
We need to find the Jim's kinetic energy. We know that when the object is in motion, it has kinetic energy. This energy is given by :
E = 54.67 J
So, Jim's kinetic energy is 54.67 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
The length of spring when the block comes momentarily to rest on the compressed spring will be 0.054 m.The length of the spring by the letter x.
<h3>What is the potential energy of the spring?</h3>The energy is stored in the spring when it is stretched or compressed by some length. It is the product of mass, gravity and distance compressed or stretched. Mathrmatically it is given by;
PE=mgh
The given data in the problem is ;
m is the mass of the block is 0.5 kg height,
h is the height is released is 0.7 m
x initial length of the spring = 0.13 m.
K is the force constant of the spring = 1180 N/m.
By the law of conservation of energy,
The potential energy of the spring gets converted
Hence the length of spring when the block comes momentarily to rest on the compressed spring will be 0.054 m
