The empire state building is 1,450 feet tall. King Kong weighs 20 tons and he climbs to the very top. If he jumps off the top, w

lozanna [386]

Answer:velocity= $93.12m/s$

Explanation:

We shall use conservation of energy to solve this problem

we have

Potential energy of King Kong at top of building = His kinetic energy at the bottom

Potential energy of an object = $m\times g\times h$ = 20000 kg

Where m is mass of an object(20000 kg)

g is accleration due to gravity = 9.81 $m/s^{2}$

h is the height above the surface of earth = 1450 feet = 441.96 meters

Applying values we get

$(P.E)_{TOP}=(20000\times 9.81\times 441.96) Joules\\\\(P.E)_{TOP}= 86712.552KiloJoules$ ......................(i)

Now Kinetic energy is given by

$(K.E)_{Bottom}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ .......................(ii)

Equating i and ii we get

86712.552 = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}$

Applying values we get

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 86712.552\times 10^{3}}{20\times 10^{3}}}\\\\v= 93.12m/s$

Which two characteristics increase the strength of the gravitational force

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The answer is A and C.

Explanation:

Only two factors are relevant when dealing with the gravitational force between two objects - their mass and their distance apart from one another. Gravity's force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

A frictionless cart of mass M is attached to a spring with spring constant k. When the cart is displaced 6 cm from its rest posi

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Time period of horizontal Oscillation = T = 2 $\pi$ $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Explanation:

Solution:

As we know that:

F = Kx

Here,

K = Spring constant

x = displacement.

First, they are displacing it with 6 cm from its rest position for which Time period of the oscillation is T = 2 seconds.

But next, they want to know the effect on the time period of the oscillation if the displacement x is doubled from 6cm to 12 cm.

First of all, let us see the equation of the time period of the oscillation.

We need to check, if time period does depend on the displacement or not.

As we know,

Time period of horizontal Oscillation = T = 2 $\pi$ $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Since, K is the constant for a particular spring, we need to change the mass of the cart to change the time period.

Hence the Time period will remain same.
