16. At a particular point, a satellite in an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 7000 MJ with respect to Ea

rth’s surface and a kinetic energy of 4000 MJ. At another point in its orbit, the satellite’s potential energy is 2000 MJ. What is its kinetic energy at that point? Show all calculations leading to your answer.

Assuming conservation of energy:

Energy before = 7000 + 4000 = 11 000 MJ

Energy after = 2000 + Kinetic = 11 000

Therefore Kinetic = 11 000 - 2 000

Kinetic = 9 000 MJ

A wooden block is sitting on an inclined plane near the bottom. The student gave the block a flick and it moved up the inclined
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The block didn't slide due to balancing of gravitational force with friction force

Explanation:

When the block was given a flick the force provided an acceleration to it and it moved up the inclined plane. when the block reached top it was expected that it would slide back but it didn't this happened because of the frictional force acting on the bottom the block which was balancing the gravitational force component along the plane and this prevented sliding back of the block.

static friction  was balancing mg*sin(theta)

fs = mg*sin(theta)

A cylinder 0.170 m in diameter rotates in a lathe at 530 rpm . what is the tangential speed of the surface of the cylinder?
Ad libitum [116K]
Diameter = 0.170 meter
Circumference = 0.170 π meters

530 rpm = 530 circumferences / minute

               =  (530 x 0.170 π meters) / minute

               =      283.06 meter.minute

               =        4.72 meters/second
