Not so fast.
I think you're using 'accelerating' to mean 'speeding up', but you really need
to be more careful with it. "Acceleration" means ANY change in speed OR
direction.
If an object's speed to the left is decreasing, or its speed to the right is
increasing, then the net force on the object must be directed towards
the right.
If an object is moving with constant speed in a circular path, then it's
constantly accelerating, because its direction is constantly changing.
The force on it is always directed towards the center of the circle, so
there's one point on the path where the force is directed straight to the right.
Answer:
The minimum speed is 7.5 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Height = 2.87 m
We need to calculate the minimum speed
Using equation of motion


Where, u = minimum velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
Put the value into the formula


Hence, The minimum speed is 7.5 m/s.
Answer:
See in explanation
Explanation:
Scientific use: The Einstein's THEORY of relativity states that "Time Is Absolute".
Everyday use: Einstein's LAW of relativity says that time is not the same at all places and events.
Since the block is not moving, it only has potential energy and no kinetic energy.
energy = mgh = 8 x 9.81 x 20 = 1569.6J
