It goes from Kinetic when it is at rest to potential on its way to the bottom. There is also friction but very few people care about that.

The radius of Saturn is about 10 times the radius of Venus and the mass is about 100 times that of Venus. How much larger is the

lora16 [44]

let the mass of Venus is M then mass of Saturn is 100 M

similarly if the radius of Venus is R then the radius of Saturn is 10 R

now the force of gravity on a man of mass "m" at the surface of Venus is given by

$F_1 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}$

now similarly the gravitational force on the man if he is at the surface of Saturn

$F_2 = \frac{G*100M*m}{(10R)^2}$

$F_2 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}$

so here if we divide the two forces

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 1$

so here we can say

F1 = F2

so on both planets the gravitational force will be same

Find the work w1 done on the block by the force of magnitude f1 = 95.0 n as the block moves from xi = -5.00 cm to xf = 4.00 cm .

Vlad [161]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 8.55 Joules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Work done is the product of force and the distance moved by an object.

Work done = Force × distance

Force = 95 Newtons

Distance = X2 -X1

= 4 - (-5)

= 9 cm

Thus;

work done = 95 × 9/100

<u>= 8.55 Joules </u>

Calculate the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m

otez555 [7]

Answer: The period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 5 kg

Spring constant = 6 N/m

Formula used to calculate period is as follows.

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}$

where,

T = period

m = mass

k = spring constant

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}\\= 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt\frac{5}{6}\\= 5.73 s$

Thus, we can conclude that the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.

A boy standing throws a penny horizontally at 7.25 m/s out of the window of his apparent buliding. If the window is 10.0 m above

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a 2D problem (parabolic) so we have to think that way. We have to split up the problem into its 2 dimensions to solve it. Think "y-stuff" and "x-stuff".

In the y-stuff category:

v₀ = 0 (initial upwards velocity is 0 since we are told the penny is thrown horizontally)

Δx = -10.0 m (this displacement is negative because the penny lands 10.0 m below the point from which it was thrown)

a = -9.8 m/s/s

t = ? (we need to find the time in this dimension so we can use it in the x dimension to find the displacement, our unknown)

In the "x-stuff" category:

v₀ = 7.25 m/s (this is given)

Δx = ???

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is ALWAYS 0)

t = (we will solve for this in the y-dimension and plug it in here).

In the y dimension:

Δx = v₀t + $\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and plugging in from the y-dimension info:

$-10.0=0t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2$ which simplifies to

$-10.0=-4.9t^2$ so

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-10.0}{-4.9} }$ which, to 2 significant digits is

t = 1.4 seconds

Now we will do the same in the x-dimension, using t = 1.4:

Δx = v₀t + $\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and filling in the x-stuff:

Δx = $7.25(1.4)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.4)^2$ Notice that the stuff after the + sign goes to 0 cuz of the multiplication of 0, so what we are left with is another form of the d = rt equation:

Δx = 7.25(1.4) + 0 so

Δx = 1.0 × 10¹ m (That's rounded correctly to 2 sig dig's: 10 m from the base of the building).
