Gravitational Potential Energy = mgh (m=mass; g=gravitational force(9.8N/kg); h = height)

Ug = (70kg)(9.8N/kg)(8m) = 5488J which is C.)

Two particles, each of mass m, are initially at rest very far apart.Obtain an expression for their relative speed of approach at

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

Explanation:

Consider two particles are initially at rest.

Therefore,

the kinetic energy of the particles is zero.

That initial K.E. = 0

The relative velocity with which both the particles are approaching each other is Δv and their reduced masses are

$\mu= \frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}$

now, since both the masses have mass m

therefore,

$\mu= \frac{m^2}{2m}$

= m/2

The final K.E. of the particles is

$KE_{final}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mu\times \Delta v^2$

Distance between two particles is d and the gravitational potential energy between them is given by

$PE_{Gravitational}= \frac{Gmm}{d}$

By law of conservation of energy we have

$KE_{initial}+KE_{final}= PE_{gravitaional}$

Now plugging the values we get

$0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{2}\Delta v^2= -\frac{Gmm}{d}$

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{d} }$

This the required relation between G,m and d

A block of mass m is attached to a rope wound around the outer rim of a disk of radius R and moment of inertia I, which is free

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

I is the moment of inertia of the pulley, α is the angular acceleration of the pulley and T is the tension in the rope. Let a is the linear acceleration.

The relation between the linear acceleration and the angular acceleration is

a = R α .... (1)

According to the diagram,

T x R = I x α

T x R = I x a / R from equation (1)

T = I x a / R² .... (2)

mg - T = ma .... (3)

Substitute the value of T from equation (2) in equation (3)

$mg - \frac{Ia}{R^{2}}=ma$

$a=\frac{mg}{m+\frac{I}{R^{2}}}$

T is the acceleration in the system

Substitute the value of a in equation (2)

$T = \frac{I}{R^{2}}\times \frac{mg}{m+\frac{I}{R^{2}}}$

$T=\frac{I\times mg}{I+mR^{2}}$

This is the tension in the string.
