A bicyclist was moving at a rate of 8 m/s, and then sped up to 10 m/s. If the cyclist has a mass of 120 kg, how much work was ne

Answer:

Work = 2160 J

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we know that work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the cyclist.

As the cyclist is initially moving at speed 8 m/s and after some time his speed changes to 10 m/s

So here we can say that

final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy = work done

W = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

now by plug in all values

W = \frac{1}{2}(120)(10^2 - 8^2)

W = 2160 J

so work done by cyclist will be 2160 J

W=∆KE

KE=1/2m∆v^2

=1/2*120*(10-8) ^2

With a bit of algebraic reasoning find your gravitational acceleration toward any planet of mass M a distance d from its center.
grandymaker [24]

The acceleration due to gravity is given as:

                             g = GM/r²

<h3>Derivation of gravitational acceleration:</h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to Newton's law of gravity,

F<em>g </em>= GMm/(r + h)²

F<em>g = </em>gravitational force

From Newton's second law of motion,

F<em>g </em>= ma

a = F<em>g</em>/m

We can refer to "a" as "g"

a = g = GMm/(m)(r + h)²

g = GM/(r + h)²

When the object is on or close to the surface, the value of g is constant and height has no considerable impact. Hence, it can be written as,

g = GM/r²
