Let both the balls have the same mass equals to m.

Let v_1 and v_2 be the speed of the ball1 and the ball2 respectively, such that

v_1>v_2\;\cdots(i)

Assuming that both the balls are at the same level with respect to the ground, so let h be the height from the ground.

The total energy of ball1= Kinetic energy of ball1 + Potential energy of ball1. The Kinetic energy of any object moving with speed, v, is \frac 12 m v^2

and the potential energy is due to the change in height is mgh [where g is the acceleration due to gravity]

So, the total energy of ball1,

=\frac 12 m v_1^2 + mgh\;\cdots(ii)

and the total energy of ball1,

=\frac 12 m v_2^2 + mgh\;\cdots(iii).

Here, the potential energy for both the balls are the same, but the kinetic energy of the ball1 is higher the ball2 as the ball1 have the higher speed, refer equation (i)

So, \frac 12 m v_1^2 >\frac 12 m v_2^2

Now, from equations (ii) and (iii)

The total energy of ball1 hi higher than the total energy of ball2.

A student, standing on a scale in an elevator at rest, sees that his weight is 840 n. as the elevator rises, his weight increase
Firlakuza [10]
<span>1) at rest his weight is 840 N

=> 840N = mass * g => mass = 840 N / g = 840 N / 9.8 m/s^2 = 85.7 kg

2) as the elevator rises, his weight increases to 1050 N,

The reading of the scale is the norma force of it over the body of the person.

And the equation for the force is: Net force = mass * acceleration = normal force - weight at rest

=> mass * acceleration = 1050 N - 840 N = 210 N

acceleration = 210 N / mass = 210 N / 85.7 kg = 2.45 m/s^2 (upward)

3)  when the elevator slows to a stop at the 10th floor, his weight drops to 588 N

=>  mass * acceleration = 588 N - 840 N = - 252 N

=> acceleration = - 252 N / 85.71 kg = - 2.94 m / s^2 (downward)

Answer:

Acceleration at the beginning of the trip 2.45 m/s^2 upward
Acceleration at the end of the trip 2.94 m/s^2 downward

What is the gravitational force between mars and Phobos
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

F=5.16\times 10^{15}\ N

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of Mars is, m_M=6.42\times 10^{23}\ kg

Mass of its moon Phobos, m_P=1.06\times 10^{16}\ kg

Distance between Mars and Phobos, d = 9378 km

It is required to find the gravitational force between Mars and Phobos. The force between two masses is given by

F=G\dfrac{m_Mm_P}{d^2}

Plugging all values, we get :

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{6.42\times 10^{23}\times 1.06\times 10^{16}}{(9378\times 10^3)^2}\\\\F=5.16\times 10^{15}\ N

So, the gravitational force is 5.16\times 10^{15}\ N.
