Answer:

28 J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. In other words, it is energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both.

In physics, mechanical energy (Emech) is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object usually in some force field.

Therefore:

ME = KE + PE = 25 + 3 = 28 J

Consider f(x) = -4x2 + 24x + 3. Determine whether the function has a maximum or minimum value. Then find the

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The function has a maximum in $x=3$

The maximum is:

$f(3) = 39$

Explanation:

Find the first derivative of the function for the inflection point, then equal to zero and solve for x

$f(x)' = -4*2x + 24=0$

$-4*2x + 24=0$

$8x=24$

$x=3$

Now find the second derivative of the function and evaluate at x = 3.

If $f (3) ''< 0$ the function has a maximum

If $f (3) '' >0$ the function has a minimum

$f(x)''= 8$

Note that:

$f(3)''= -8$

the function has a maximum in $x=3$

The maximum is:

$f(3)=-4(3)^2+24(3) + 3\\\\f(3) = 39$

A go-cart is traveling at a rate of 25 m/sec for 20 seconds. How far will the go cart travel?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of go cart = 25 m/s

Time travel = 20 seconds

Find:

Distance travel by go-cart

Computation:

Distance = Speed x time

Distance travel by go-cart = Speed of go cart x Time travel

Distance travel by go-cart = 25 x 20

Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter

On earth, two parts of a space probe weigh 14500 N and 4800 N. These parts are separated by a center-to-center distance of 18 m

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by: $W= m*g$

W= weight of the object( in N)

m= mass of the object (in kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

Therefore,

$m_{1} = \frac{14500}{9.81}$

$m_{1} = 1478.08 kg$

Similarly,

$m_{2} = \frac{4800}{9.81}$

$m_{2} = 489.29 kg$

Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects

Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.

Force between these two objects is given by:

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{R^{2} }$

G= gravitational constant ( $6.67 * 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ )

$m_{1} , m_{2}$ = masses of the object

R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)

Substituiting all these values into the above formula

$F = 1.489*10^{-7} N$

This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 4.5 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.2 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to

jok3333 [9.3K]

a.) K 2=K 1 +GmM( r 21− r 11)=2.2×10 7J

b.) K 2 +GmM( r 11− r 21)=6.9×10 7 J

Applying Law of Energy conservation :

K 1+U 1

=K 2+U 2

⇒K 1− r 1GmM

=K 2− r 2 GmM

where M=5.0×10 23kg,r1

=> R=3.0×10 6m and m=10kg

(a) If K 1

=5.0×10 7J and r 2

=4.0×10 6 m, then the above equation leads to

K 2=K 1 +GmM (r 21− r 11)=2.2×10 7J

(b) In this case, we require K 2

=0 and r2

=8.0×10 6m, and solve for K 1:K 1

=K 2 +GmM (r 11− r 21)=6.9×10 7 J
