Answer: force of gravity on the body due to height difference above the earth's surface

Explanation: as you increase the height of a body above ground, you do work against gravity in moving it from a point on the earth's surface to that point. So a body falling has a stored up gravito-potential energy which acts on it downward due to its mass, accelerating it downwards

Answer b): kinetic energy of the body

Explanation: the downward force produces an acceleration of magnitude 9.81m/s2 downwards which means an increasing velocity. This increasing velocity means the kinetic energy of the body is increasing (kinetic energy is proportional to velocity of the body squared)

Does the theory of relativity show that Newtonian mechanics is wrong?
valina [46]

Answer:

Einstein extended the rules of Newton for high speeds. For applications of mechanics at low speeds, Newtonian ideas are almost equal to reality. That is the reason we use Newtonian mechanics in practice at low speeds.

Explanation:

<em>But on a conceptual level, Einstein did prove Newtonian ideas quite wrong in some cases, e.g. the relativity of simultaneity. But again, in calculations, Newtonian ideas give pretty close to correct answer in low-speed regimes. So, the numerical validity of Newtonian laws in those regimes is something that no one can ever prove completely wrong - because they have been proven correct experimentally to a good approximation.</em>

A girl dribbling a basketball is running a court that is 100 m in length. It takes her 4.2 seconds to reach the end of the court
Travka [436]

Divide the distance traveled by the time it took:

(100 m) / (4.2 s) ≈ 23.8 m/s

A playground merry-go-round has a radius of 4.6 m and a moment of inertia of 200 kg-m2 and turns with negligible friction about
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

8050 J

Explanation:

Given:

r = 4.6 m

I = 200 kg m²

F = 26.0 N

t = 15.0 s

First, find the angular acceleration.

∑τ = Iα

Fr = Iα

α = Fr / I

α = (26.0 N) (4.6 m) / (200 kg m²)

α = 0.598 rad/s²

Now you can find the final angular velocity, then use that to find the rotational energy:

ω = αt

ω = (0.598 rad/s²) (15.0 s)

ω = 8.97 rad/s

W = ½ I ω²

W = ½ (200 kg m²) (8.97 rad/s)²

W = 8050 J

Or you can find the angular displacement and find the work done that way:

θ = θ₀ + ω₀ t + ½ αt²

θ = ½ (0.598 rad/s²) (15.0 s)²

θ = 67.3 rad

W = τθ

W = Frθ

W = (26.0 N) (4.6 m) (67.3 rad)

W = 8050 J
