Answer: the object transferred some of its energy to its surroundings.
Explanation:
Answer:

Explanation:
The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

where
G is the gravitational constant
m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite
is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

So the initial total energy is

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

so its gravitational potential energy is

And since it hits the ground with speed

it also has kinetic energy:

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

Answer:
a) 19.4 m/s
b) 19 m/s
Explanation:
a) In the given question,
the potential energy at the initial point = Ui = 0
the potential energy at the final point = Uf = mgh
the kinetic energy at the initial point = Ki = 1/2 mv₀².
the kinetic energy at the final point = Kf = 0
work done by air= Ea= fh = 0.262 N
Now, using the law of conservation of energy
initial energy= final energy
Ki +Ui = Kf + Uf +Ea
1/2 mv₀² + 0 = 0 + mgh + fh
1/2 mv₀² = mgh + fh
h = v₀²/ 2g (1 +f/w)
calculate m
m= w/g = 5.29 /9.8
= 0.54 kg
h = 20 ²/ (2 x9.80) x (1 0.265/5.29)
h = 19.4 m.
b) 1/2 mv² + 2fh = 1/2 mv₀²
Vg = 19 m/s
