n deep space, sphere A of mass 47 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 110 kg is located on the axis at

x = 3.4 m. Sphere B is released from rest while sphere A is held at the origin. (a) What is the gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system just as B is released? (b) What is the kinetic energy of B when it has moved 2.6 m toward A?

Answer:

a)-1.014x 10^{-7J

b)3.296 x  10^{-7J

Explanation:

For Sphere A:

mass 'Ma'= 47kg

xa= 0

For sphere B:

mass 'Mb'= 110kg

xb=3.4m

a)the gravitational potential energy is given by

U_{i = -GMaMb/ d

U_{i= - 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x 10^{-7J

b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and U_{i=-1.014x 10^{-7J

The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.

K_{i + U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore K_{i is zero

U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

The final potential energy is

U_{f= - GMaMb/d

Solving for 'K_{f '

K_{f = U_{i + GMaMb/d => -1.014x 10^{-7 + 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 0.8

K_{f = 3.296 x  10^{-7J

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

v = 40 m / s

Explanation:

Let's use the expressions for accelerated motion

         v = v₀ + a t

where vo is the initial velocity, at the acceleration and t is the time.

as the body starts from rest its initial velocity is zero

         v = 0 + at

let's calculate

         v = 8  5

         v = 40 m / s

Arada [10]
If you are under a tree, they kind of act like lightning rods, so stay away from trees, so roll in dat grass. Fun Fact: Lightning comes from the ground more than it comes from the sky, its like when you rub a blanket on your head, some lil' lightnings come from your head while a little come from the blanket, its the same with grass and clouds only, 10000 volts stronger and deadly.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

85.556metres

Explanation:

Using pythagorean theorem

C²=A²+B²

we have c as the hypotenuse vector A thus:

93.8²=A²+38.4²

93.8²-38.4²=A²

8794.44-1474.56=A²

7319.88=A²

A=85.556
