Work = force * distance.
We must produce twice as much energy as we are lifting the weight twice as high.
But we are not increasing the force so we must increase the length of the ramp ( distance ) instead.
The new length will be twice as great as the previous length.
So 8 metres is required. 


25 kg * 8 m = work = 100 kg * 2 m

Calculate the velocity of a 1650kg satellite that is in a circular orbit of 4.2 x 10^6m above the surface of a planet which has
Anastasy [175]
-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed. 
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.

-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.

Since the planet's radius is  3.95 x 10⁵m  and the satellite is
orbiting  4.2 x 10⁶m  above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is

                               (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)

                     =        (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)

                     =           45.95 x 10⁵ m

The circumference of the orbit is  (2 π R) =  91.9 π x 10⁵ m.

The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is

                                     (91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr

                        =        45.95 π x 10⁵  m/hr  x  (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

                        =           0.04 x 10⁵      m/sec

                        =              4 x 10³      m/sec  

                                     (4 kilometers per second)

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.4 kg gibbon
Katarina [22]

Answer:

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of gibbon = 9.4 kg

arm length = 0.6 m

speed of the swing

net force must provide

F_{branch} + F_{gravity}=F_{centripetal}

force of gravity = - mg

F_{branch}=F_{centripetal}-F_{gravity}

                        = \dfrac{mv^2}{r} + mg

                        = m(\dfrac{3.4^2}{0.6} +9.8)

                        =9 x 29.067

                        = 261.6 N

upward force acting = 261.6 N
