Answer:
The total Mechanical energy will be zero
Explanation: Escape velocity is the velocity required by a free object in order to overcome the impact of the force of gravity. The total mechanical energy of an object is the total energy possessed by an object which includes its kinectic and potential energy.
since the object is moving at an escape velocity which is 11.2m/s the object will be assumed to be weightless
Etotal = kinetic energy + potential energy
kinetic energy= 1/2*M*V*V
Potential energy=MGH
Etotal=1/2*0*11.2*11.2+0*0*0
Etotal=0+0
Etotal=0.
Answer:
At point A, the cart has high potential energy. At point b, the cart is pulled down by gravity. At point c, the cart gains its highest kinetic energy. At point d, the cart returns back to the same state but with lower potential energy.
Answer:
Explanation:
Work done in lifting the weight once = mgh
= 20 x 9.8 x (1.9+1.7)
= 705.6 J
= 705.6 / 4.2 calorie
= 168 cals
Total energy to be spent = 600 x 10³ cals
No of times weight is required to be lifted
= 600 x 10³ / 168
= 3.57 x 10³ times
Total time to be taken = 2 x 3.57 x 10³
= 7.14 x 10³ s
=119 minutes .
