The superheroine Xanaxa, who has a mass of 67.5 kg , is pursuing the 70.3 kg archvillain Lexlax. She leaps from the ground to th

e top of a 179 m high building then dives off it and comes to rest at the bottom of a 15.9 m deep excavation where she finds Lexlax and neutralizes him. Does all this bring about a net gain or a net loss of gravitational potential energy?

Answer:

there is a net loss of potential energy  is Ut = -0.11 10⁵ J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is

        ΔU = mg (y2- y1)

Where y1 is the initial position where the energy is defined as zero, in general in problems on the Earth's surface the reference system is taken at the lowest point, whereby y1 = 0 and consequently U1 = 0, this It is a matter of comfort since what matters are the changes in energy and not its value at one point explained.

Let's apply these concepts to our problem.

Jump from the ground to 179 m, let's calculate the energy change

     ΔU1 = mg (y2-y1)

     ΔU1 = 67.5 9.8 (179 -0)

     ΔU1 = 1.18 10⁵ J           gains energy

Dives up to Y3 = -15.9m below ground, therefore, this height is negative

The total height is y = 179 - (-15.9) = 194.9 m

       ΔU2 = mg (y3-y2)

These are the points where the dive begins and where it arrives

       ΔDU2 = 67.5 9.8 (- 194.9)

       ΔU2 = -1.29 105 J        loses energy

The total change in potential energy is

       Ut = ΔU1 + ΔU2

       Ut = 1.18 10⁵ - 1.29 10⁵

       Ut = -0.11 10⁵ J

Therefore, there is a net loss of potential energy

You can also calculate ΔU = mg (Δy)

Where ΔY is the change in body position, that is -15.9 m

         ΔU = 67.5 9.8 (-15.9)

         ΔU = -1.1 10⁴ J = -0.11 10⁵ J

You can see that it is the same value.

Earth’s polar ice caps contain about 2.3 × 1019 kg of ice. This mass contributes essentially nothing to the moment of inertia of
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial moment of inertia of the earth I₁ = 2/5 MR² , M is mss of the earth and R is the radius . If ice melts , it forms an equivalent shell of mass  2.3 x 10¹⁹ Kg

Final moment of inertia I₂ = 2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²

For change in period of rotation we shall apply conservation of angular momentum law

I₁ ω₁  = I₂ ω₂  ,  ω₁ and   ω₂ are angular velocities initially and finally .

I₁ / I₂     =  ω₂ / ω₁

I₁ / I₂     =  T₁ / T₂  , T₁ , T₂ are time period initially and finally .

T₂ / T₁ = I₂ / I₁

(2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²) / 2/5 MR²

1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / M

= 1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / 5.97 x 10²⁴

= 1 + .0000064

T₂ = 24 (1 + .0000064)

= 24 hours + .55 s

change in length of the day = .55 s .

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

2.74

Explanation:

Magnification = image distance/object distance

Mag = v/u

Given

v = 46cm

u = 16.8

Magnification = 46/16.8

Magnification = 2.74

Hence the magnification is 2.74
