Answer:
1.05 J.
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J). The formula of kinetic energy is given as
Ek = 1/2mv²................. Equation 1
Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass of the uniform rod, v = liner velocity of the rod.
But,
v = αr .......................... Equation 2
Where α = angular velocity of the rod, r = radius of the circle.
Given: α = 3.6 red/s, r = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m.
Substitute into equation 2
v = 3.6(0.6)
v = 2.16 m/s.
Also given: m = 450 g = 0.45 kg.
Substitute into equation 1
Ek = 1/2(0.45)(2.16²)
Ek = 1.05 J.
Answer:
800 N
Explanation:
By Newton's third law which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So, as the earth attracts the person towards its center, the person attracts the earth towards itself with the same magnitude of force but in the opposite direction.
Since the person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force, the the earth is attracted toward the person with an 800 N reaction force.
Gravitational potential energy.
As the rider falls, the GPE is converted into kinetic energy.
