Answer: 4.9 x 10^6 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of boulder (m) = 2,500 kg

Height of ledge above canyon floor (h) = 200 m

Gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder (GPE) = ?

Since potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest, and it depends on the mass of the object (m), gravitational acceleration (g), and height (h).

GPE = mgh

GPE = 2500kg x 9.8m/s2 x 200m

GPE = 4900000J

Place result in standard form

GPE = 4.9 x 10^6J

Thus, the gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder-Earth system relative to the canyon floor is 4.9 x 10^6 joules

Arisa [49]

Answer:

v = 1.32 10² m

Explanation:

In this case we are going to use the universal gravitation equation and Newton's second law

    F = G m M / r²

    F = m a

In this case the acceleration is centripetal

    a = v² / r

The force is given by the gravitational force

    G m M / r² = m v² / r

    G  M/r =  v²

Let's calculate the mass of the planet

    M = v² r / G

    M = (1.75 10⁴)² 5.00 10⁶ / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

    M = 2.30 10²¹ kg

With this die we clear the equation to find the orbit of the second satellite

    v = √ G M / r

    v = √ (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 2.30 10²¹ / 8.75 10⁶)

    v = 1.32 10² m

A 30.0 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension (in N) in the rope if the box has an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s and is slo
hjlf

Answer:

360 N

Explanation:

m = 30kg    u = 2 m/s     a = -2m/s/s

Since the object has an initial velocity of 2 m/s and acceleration of -2 m/s/s

the object will come to rest in 1 second but the force applied in that one second can be calculated by:

F = ma

F = 30 * -2

F = -60 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the force applied on the box due to gravity

letting g = -10m/s/s

F = ma

F = 30 * -10

F = -300 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the total downward force:

-300 + (-60) = -360 N

<em></em>

<em>Hence, a downward force of 360 N is being applied on the box and since the box did not disconnect from the rope, the rope applied the same amount of force in the opposite direction</em>

Therefore tension on the force = <u>360 N</u>
