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.

Consider three planets. All have the same mass as Earth, but with different radii (from largest to smallest: Planet 1, 2, 3). Fo
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

mass of the three planet is same

radius of the planets are

R₁ > R₂ > R₃

expression of escape velocity

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

from the above expression we can clearly conclude that the escape velocity is inversely proportional to the radius of the Planet.

radius of planet increases escape velocity decreases.

Hence planet 3 has the smallest radius so the escape velocity of the third planet will be maximum.

The correct answer is option C

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you. Your reaction tim
Bingel [31]

Answer:

given,

speed of the car = 20 m/s

final speed of car = 0 m/s

distance between car and the deer = 38 m

reaction time, t = 0.5 s

deceleration of the car = 10 m/s².

a) distance between deer and car

  distance travel in the reaction time

   d₁ = v x t

   d₁ = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m

   distance travel after you apply brake

   using equation of motion

   v² = u² + 2 a s

   0 = 20² - 2 x 10 x s

    s =  20 m

total distance traveled by the car

D = d₁ + d₂

D = 20 + 10 = 30 m

  distance between car and the deer = 38 m - 30 m

                                                              = 8 m

b) now, maximum speed car.

   distance travel in reaction time

    d₁ = s x t

    d₁ = 0.5 V

distance left between them

   d₂ = 38 - d₁

   d₂ = 38 - 0.5 V

   distance travel after you apply brake

   using equation of motion

    v² = u² + 2 a d₂

    0 = (V)² - 2 x 10 x (38 - 0.5 V)

     V² + 10 V - 760 = 0

now, solving the quadratic equation

  x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

  V = \dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4(1)(-760)}}{2(1)}

         V = 23.01 , -33.01

rejecting the negative term.

hence, maximum speed of the car could be V = 23.01 m/s
