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

Inessa [10]
For this problem, we would be using the formula: Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad 
where:
Vf = 400m/s 
Vi = 300m/s 
a = ? 
d = 4.0km 
= 4000m 

400^2 = 300^2 + 2a4000 
a = [ 160000 - 90000 ] / 8000 
a = 8.75m/s^2 
rounding it off to 2 significant figures, will give us 8.8 m/s^2.

A solid cylindrical object has a mass of 2.0 kg, a diameter
omeli [17]

Answer:

I = 0.0025 kg.m²

Explanation:

Given that

m= 2 kg

Diameter ,d= 0.1 m

Radius ,R=\dfrac{d}{2}

R=\dfrac{0.1}{2}

R=0.05 m

The moment of inertia of the cylinder about it's axis same as the disc and it is given as

I=\dfrac{mR^2}{2}

Now by putting the all values

I=\dfrac{2\times 0.05^2}{2}

I = 0.0025 kg.m²

Therefore we can say that the moment of inertia of the cylinder will be  0.0025 kg.m².
