Answer:

1000 J of thermal energy is generated.

Explanation:

The attached figure shows the whole scenario. It consists of three types of energies i.e. Gravitational Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy and thermal energy.

We know that the energy of a system remains conserved. In this case, the gravitational potential energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the thermal energy.

GPE = KE +TE

8000 J = 7000 J + TE

TE = 1000 J

So, the thermal energy is 1000 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Greatest gravitational energy is at "C".

The planet has to do work "against" the field to get to "C".

Also, if m v R (angular momentum) is constant then as R increases v must decrease for this term to be constant and KE = 1/2 M v^2 must decrease also to get to point C.

A car traveling at 28 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 13 seconds. What is its acceleration?

Maru [420]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning)

change in speed = (zero) minus (28 m/s) = -28 m/s

Acceleration = (-28 m/s) / (13 sec)

Acceleration = -2.15 m/s²
