Answer: 1018.26 m/s
Explanation:
Approaching the orbit of the Moon around the Earth to a circular orbit (or circular path), we can use the equation of the speed of an object with uniform circular motion:
Where:
is the speed of travel of the Moon around the Earth
is the Gravitational Constant
is the mass of the Earth
is the distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon
Solving:
This is the speed of travel of the Moon around the Earth
Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy
Explanation:
When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by
where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by
where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.
Answer:
The speed of the student just before she lands, v₂ is approximately 8.225 m/s
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of the physic student, m = 43.0 kg
The height at which the student is standing, h = 12.0 m
The radius of the wheel, r = 0.300 m
The moment of inertia of the wheel, I = 9.60 kg·m²
The initial potential energy of the female student, P.E.₁ = m·g·h₁
Where;
m = 43.0 kg
g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²
h = 12.0 h
∴ P.E.₁ = 43 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 12.0 m = 5061.96 J
The kinetic rotational energy of the wheel and kinetic energy of the student supporting herself from the rope she grabs and steps off the roof, K₁, is given as follows;
The initial kinetic energy, 1/2·m·v₁² and the initial kinetic rotational energy, 1/2·m·ω₁² are 0
∴ K₁ = 0 + 0 = 0
The final potential energy of the student when lands. P.E.₂ = m·g·h₂ = 0
Where;
h₂ = 0 m
The final kinetic energy, K₂, of the wheel and student is give as follows;
Where;
v₂ = The speed of the student just before she lands
ω₂ = The angular velocity of the wheel just before she lands
By the conservation of energy, we have;
P.E.₁ + K₁ = P.E.₂ + K₂
∴ m·g·h₁ + = m·g·h₂ +
Where;
ω₂ = v₂/r
∴ 5061.96 J + 0 = 0 +
5,061.96 J = 21.5 kg × v₂² + 53. kg × v₂² = 21.5 kg × v₂² + 160/3 kg × v₂²
v₂² = 5,061.96 J/(21.5 kg + 160/3 kg) ≈ 67.643118 m²/s²
v₂ ≈ √(67.643118 m²/s²) ≈ 8.22454363 m/s
The speed of the student just before she lands, v₂ ≈ 8.225 m/s.
