Lol, I remember I helped my sister with this question but anyways, the card flew because of inertia and the quarter fell in the glass because of gravity :).

A child on a high dive has a mass of 40 kilograms. If the high dive is 10 meters in the air, what is the potential energy? GPE=m

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

$E_{p}=m*g*h\\$

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

$E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]$

A rope is tied to a box and used to pull the box 2.3 m along a horizontal floor. The rope makes an angle of 30∘ with the horizon

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

A) The work done by gravity is zero because displacement and the gravitational force are perpendicular to each other.

W= FS cosθ

θ= 90 ⇒cos90 = 0 ⇒W= 0

B) work done by tension

W= Tcosθ×S= 5cos30×2.30= 10J

C) Work done by friction force

W= f×s=1×2.30= 2.30 J

D) Work done by normal force is Zero because the displacement and the normal force are perpendicular to each other.

E) The net work done= Work done by tension in the rope - frictional work

=10-2.30= 7.7 J

What is the effect on the force of gravity between two objects if the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

B. It always decreases

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the foce of gravity is given by

$F_G=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$ where

G= Gravitational constant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = the distance between both objects

If the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to the second object and the second object’s mass are both doubled, we have

$F_{G2} =\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(2r)^2}$ = $\frac{2}{4} \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

Therefore the gravitational force is halved. That is it will always decrease
