Answer:

Potential energy

Explanation:

Before release, the catapult has potential energy stored in a tension of torsion device in it. Normally a flexible bow like object that could be made of wood or of metal.

The small spherical planet called "Glob" has a mass of 7.88×10^18 kg and a radius of 6.32×10^4 m. An astronaut on the surface of
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: The small spherical planet called "Glob" has a mass of 7.88×1018 kg and a radius of 6.32×104 m. An astronaut on the surface of Glob throws a rock straight up. The rock reaches a maximum height of 1.44×103 m, above the surface of the planet, before it falls back down.

1) the initial speed of the rock as it left the astronaut's hand is 19.46 m/s.

2) A 36.0 kg satellite is in a circular orbit with a radius of 1.45×105 m around the planet Glob. Then the speed of the satellite is 3.624km/s.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know about the different equations of planetary motion.

<h3>How to find the initial speed of the rock as it left the astronaut's hand?</h3>
  • We have the expression for the initial velocity as,

                           v=\sqrt{2gh}

  • Thus, to find v, we have to find the acceleration due to gravity of glob. For this, we have,

                       g_g=\frac{GM}{r^2} =\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*7.88*10^{18}}{(6.32*10^4)^2}= 0.132

  • Now, the velocity will become,

                        v=\sqrt{2*0.132*1.44*10^3} =19.46 m/s

<h3>How to find the speed of the satellite?</h3>
  • As we know that, by equating both centripetal force and the gravitational force, we get the equation of speed of a satellite as,

                       v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} } =\sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*7.88*10^{18}}{1.45*10^5} } =3.624km/s

Thus, we can conclude that,

1) the initial speed of the rock as it left the astronaut's hand is 19.46 m/s.

2) A 36.0 kg satellite is in a circular orbit with a radius of 1.45×105 m around the planet Glob. Then the speed of the satellite is 3.624km/s.

If a 990 kg car is on the road and the Ff is 360 n what is the normal force
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Given that a car is in the road, there is only movement in the x-direction. There is no movement in the y-direction.

Looking at the y-direction for the normal force:

F = N - mg
0 = N - mg, (no movement in y-dir.)
N = mg
N = (990)(9.8)
N = 9702 newtons

The normal force exerted on the car by the road is 9702 newtons.

emmainna [20.7K]
This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal. 
                                   momentum = mass x velocity
            (1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.
