Answer:

U₁ = 129.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy is

    U = mg y - m g y₀

Where I correspond to the initial position, with this it is an additive constant, we can make it zero with the placement of the reference system, in this case the system is placed on the floor where the ladder rests.

The power power for people on the floor is

     U₀ = 0 J

The potential energy for the person on the first step is

   U₁ = m g y₁

In general the steps are 20 cm high

     y₁ = 20 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.20 m

     U₁ = 66 9.8 0.20

     U₁ = 129.4 J

Noah drops a rock with a density of 1.73 g/cm3 into a pond. Will the rock float or sink?
Katarina [22]

Explanation:

Substances with their density less than that of water which is 1 g/cm³ will float on it whiles those greater than that of water will sink into the water

From the question the density of the object is greater than that of water so the object will sink into the water

Hope this helps you

Use the law of universal gravitacion to predict what would happen to Earth if the moon were replaced with an object that had the
Zina [86]
Verrrrry interesting !
If the moon were replaced by something with a vastly greater mass
but at the same distance, then ...

-- The period of its revolution around the Earth would be much shorter.
That is, it would orbit the Earth in much less than 27.3 days.  We might
see it go through a complete set of phases in 2 weeks, or even 1 week.

-- The ocean tides would be much greater.  Low tides would be
much lower, and high tides would be much higher.

-- Sadly, the land tides, and the forces on the Earth's internal structure,
would also be much greater.  That means great increases in earthquake
and volcanic activity.

-- The Earth and moon both revolve around their common center of
mass. Under the current arrangement ... with the Earth having 80 times
the mass of the Moon ... that point is inside the Earth, and it looks a lot
like the Moon is orbiting a stationary Earth.
When the new body arrives to replace the lightweight Moon, that point
will be a lot closer to the new companion ... maybe even inside it. 
Then, it will look a lot like the monster is the stationary one, and the
Earth is orbiting it.
I actually don't believe that we would SEE that change, or feel it.

7 Consider two homogeneous bodies of
kupik [55]

Answer:

No, it is not necessary for them to have same mass.

Explanation:

Let both bodies have a density d1 and d2 respectively.

Since their volumes are equal V1 = V2

we know that,

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Hence, d1 = \frac{m1}{V1} and d2 = \frac{m2}{V2}  

Taking the ratio of densities,we get

\frac{d1}{d2} = \frac{m1}{m2}

This implies that unless the bodies have same densities, the mass of the two bodies will not be same.
