Gravitational energy can be negative?

Physics
1 answer:
AlladinOne [14]3 years ago
6 0

answer:

yes

explanation:

At a separation of the surface of Earth (r=6400km) gravity wants pull the test mass closer and closer. ... So the work done by gravity is NEGATIVE. The gravitational potential energy is negative because us trying to do the opposite of what gravity wants needs positive energy.

During World War I, the Germans had a gun called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris. The shell had an initial speed of 2.61
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The shell hit at a distance of 1.9 x 10² km

The time of flight of the shell was 5.3 x 10² s

Explanation:

The position of the shell is given by the vector "r":

r  = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α ; y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²)

where:

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration of gravity

When the shell hit, the vertical component (ry) of the vector position r is 0. See figure.

Then:

ry = 0 =  y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²

Since the gun is at the center of our system of reference, y0 and x0 = 0

0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)

t= 0 is discarded as solution

v0 sin α + 1/2 g t = 0

t = -2v0 sin α / g

t = (-2 * 2610 m/s * sin 81.9°)/ (-9.8 m/s²) = 5.3 x 10² s. This is the time of flight of the shell until it hit.

Then, the distance at which the shell hit is:

Distance = Module of r = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α; 0) = x0 + v0 * t * cos α  

Distance = 2.61 km/s * 5.3 x 10² s * cos 81.9 = 1.9 x 10² km

How to determine the parametric equation using Newtons second law
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to and in the same direction as the net external force acting on the system, and inversely proportional to its mass. In equation form, Newton's second law of motion is a=Fnetm a = F net m .
