Answer:
The correct option is;
Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp
Explanation:
The total energy, also known as the total mechanical energy, is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the skateboarder
Given that the potential energy is the energy gained due to elevation, the maximum potential energy is obtained at the top of the ramp, while the maximum kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion, is at the bottom of the ramp where the skateboarder moves fastest.
However, by the energy conservation principle, the kinetic energy of he skateboarder comes from the conversion of the potential energy, such that the total energy is the same at any particular point on the ramp.
Answer:
537 N
Explanation:
The force due to gravity of a planet is:
F = GMm / r²
where G is the universal gravitational constant
M is the mass of the planet
m is the mass of the object
and r is the distance between the object and the center of the planet
On Earth, you weigh 716 N, so:
716 N = GMm / r²
On planet X:
F = G (3M) m / (2r)²
F = 3/4 GMm / r²
F = 3/4 (716 N)
F = 537 N
