Answer:
K = -½U
Explanation:
From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;
U = -GMm/R
Where,
G is gravitational constant
M and m are the two masses exerting the forces
R is the distance between the two objects
Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;
K = GMm/2R
Re-rranging, we have;
K = ½(GMm/R)
Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;
K = -½U
Explanation:
Please mark me as the brainliest answer
|Acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change).
Change in speed = (6 mi/hr - 25 mi/hr) = -19 mi/hr
Time for the change = 10 sec
|Acceleration| = (-19 mi/hr) / (10 sec) = -1.9 mile per hour per second
Admittedly, that's a rather weird unit.
Other units, perhaps more comfortable ones, are:
-6,840 mi/hr²
-2.79 feet/sec²
