Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by

E=mgh

where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

What gravitational force does the moon produce on the earth is their centers are 3. 88x10^8 m apart and the moon has a mass of 7
vitfil [10]

The Moon is 3.8 108 m from Earth and has a mass of 7.34 1022 kg. 5.97 1024 kg is the mass of the Earth.

<h3>What kind of gravitational pull does the moon have on the planet?</h3>

On the surface of the Moon, the acceleration caused by gravity around   1.625 m/s2 which is 16.6% greater than on the surface of the Earth 0.166.

<h3>What does the Earth's center's gravitational pull feel like?</h3>

Gravity is zero if you are in the centre of the earth since everything around you is pulling "up" (up is the only direction).

<h3>Where is the Earth's and the moon's gravitational centre?</h3>

It is around 1700 kilometres below Earth's surface.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 10N

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sketch of the two cases has been attached to this response.

<em>Case 1: The box is pushed by a horizontal force F making it to move with constant velocity.</em>

In this case, a frictional force F_{r} is opposing the movement of the box. As shown in the diagram, it can be deduced from Newton's law of motion that;

∑F = ma    -------------------(i)

Where;

∑F = effective force acting on the object (box)

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration of the object

∑F = F -  F_{r}

m = 50kg

a = 0   [At constant velocity, acceleration is zero]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

F -  F_{r} = m x a

F -  F_{r} = 50 x 0

F -  F_{r} = 0

F =  F_{r}            -------------------(ii)

<em>Case 2: The box is pushed by a horizontal force 1.5F making it to move with a constant velocity of 0.1m/s²</em>

In this case, the same frictional force F_{r} is opposing the movement of the box.

∑F = 1.5F -  F_{r}

m = 50kg

a =  0.1m/s²

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

1.5F -  F_{r} = m x a

1.5F -  F_{r} = 50 x 0.1

1.5F -  F_{r} = 5            ---------------------(iii)

<em>Substitute </em>F_{r}<em> = F from equation (ii) into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

1.5F - F = 5            

0.5F = 5            

F = 5 / 0.5

F = 10N

Therefore, the value of F is 10N

The critical angle between a medium and air is 430. What is the speed of light in that medium?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

  = 1/sin(430)

  = 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

  = (3×10^8)/(1.06)

  = 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.
