<span>the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.</span>
Answer:
m = 9795.9 kg
Explanation:
v = 35 m/s
KE = 6,000,000 J
Plug those values into the following equation:
6,000,000 J = (1/2)(35^2)m
---> m = 9795.9 kg
Answer:
1109m
Explanation:
The distance h₁ traveled by the rocket during acceleration:
The velocity v₁ at this height h₁:
When the rocket runs out of fuel, energy is conserved:
Solving for h₂:
Answer: In all cases, gravitational potential energy, respect from a common reference level (street level for instance) is the same.
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy, comes from the action of the gravitational field, which is a conservative one.
This means, that if someone does work against the field (for instance lifting a weight from the ground to a given height), and then drops the weight, the work done by the field will be exactly the same.
Otherwise, the object would have remaining energy after returning to the starting point, which would violate the laws of physics, specially Thermodynamic's 2nd Law.
For this reason, the gravitational potential energy only depends from the height, and is independent from the path taken to reach there.
