Answer:
or a roller coaster loop, if it were perfectly circular, we would have a minimum speed of vmin=√gR at the top of the loop where g=9.8m/s2 and R is the radius of the 'circle'. However, most roller coaster loops are actually not circular but more elliptical.
Explanation:
I think the answer is Dust. Moons and stars definitely don't seem likely and dark particles, I am not even sure what those are. But I have seen rings on other planets before. Hope this helps. :)
Newton's Third Law states that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction:
If the gravitational force of the Earth on the Moon is F then the gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth is also F
As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =
(3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .
If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²
23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²
Divide each side by 1.5 kg : 23.52 m²/s² = speed²
Take the square root of each side: speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) = <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)
Eh not really sure bout this one
