The answer is position 3, because it is at its lowest point.
Potential Energy is “stored energy.” It is energy that is ready to be converted or released as another type of energy. We most often think of potential energy as gravitational potential energy. When objects are higher up, they are ready to fall back down. When you stretch an object and it has a tendency to return to its original shape, it is said to have elastic potential energy. Chemical potential energy is the stored energy in a substance’s chemical structure that can be released in a chemical reaction or as heat.
It takes sunlight 8 minutes to reach earth , so yes
Answer:
a)-1.014x
J
b)3.296 x
J
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
= -GMaMb/ d
= - 6.67 x
x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x
J
b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and
=-1.014x
J
The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.
+
=
+ 
As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore
is zero
=
+ 
The final potential energy is
= - GMaMb/d
Solving for '
'
=
+ GMaMb/d => -1.014x
+ 6.67 x
x 47 x 110/ 0.8
= 3.296 x
J
Same speed, because mass is neglected. The things that affect the speed are the distance and speed of the rock.
Explanation:
The weight of the car is equal to,
...........(1)
Where
m is the mass of car
g is the acceleration due to gravity
The normal or vertical component of the force is, 
or
.............(2)
The horizontal component of the force is, 
Taking ratio of equation (1) and (2) as :



or

Hence, this is the required solution.
