Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law and also Newton's gravitational law, the force that the Earth exert on the apple would be equal (and in opposite direction) with the force that the apple exert on the Earth, in this cast it's the gravitational field of the apple. So it's also 1N.

Gravitational energy can be negative?
AlladinOne [14]

answer:

yes

explanation:

At a separation of the surface of Earth (r=6400km) gravity wants pull the test mass closer and closer. ... So the work done by gravity is NEGATIVE. The gravitational potential energy is negative because us trying to do the opposite of what gravity wants needs positive energy.

Describe why cars are inefficient machines in terms of thermodynamics.
Alina [70]

Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.

The wheels of an automobile are locked as it slides to a stop from an initial speed of 30.0 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic f
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

  x = 76.5 m

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law at the point of contact between the wheel and the floor.

     fr = m a

     fr = miy N

     N-W = 0

     N = W

     μ mg = m a

     a = miu g

    a = 0.600 9.8

    a = 5.88 m / s²

Having the acceleration we can use the kinematic relationships to find the distance

     v_{f}² = v₀² + 2 a x

    v_{f} = 0

    x = -v₀² / 2 a

Acceleration opposes the movement by which negative

   x = - 30²/2 (-5.88)

   x = 76.5 m

A 49 N coconut is in a 15 m tree. What is te potential energy of the coconut?
eduard

Answer:

735 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy is simply defined as the product of weight of the object and height to which the object is raised. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Potential energy = weight × height

With the above formula, we can obtain the potential energy of the coconut as follow:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy = weight × height

Potential energy = 49 × 15

Potential energy = 735 J

Thus, the potential energy of the coconut is 735 J
