Answer:

a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

Explanation:

M_E = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of person

The force on the person will balance the gravitational force

M_Ea_E=\dfrac{GmM_E}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

The acceleration that the Earth will feel is a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

Which best describes how energy changes form in a car's engine?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Multiple transformations occur because the chemical energy of the fuel is changed to several forms of energy

Explanation:

In a car engine, multiple energy transformation takes place. The chemical energy storef in fuel is transformed into mechanical energy which helps move the wheels of the vehicle.

The mechanical energy can also be transformed into electrical energy through a sort of dynamo system in vehicles. Stereo players use the electrical energy to produce sound.

We see that multiple energy conversions are common in a motor car.

Two balls, one twice as massive as the other, are dropped from the roof of a building (freefall). Just before hitting the ground
Katena32 [7]

KE= 1/2 mv^2

Kinetic Energy is equal to 1/2 x mass x velocity squared

The mass of the larger ball has TWICE
the kinetic energy. KE is directly proportional to the mass.

PLZ HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

12.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of diver  = 77kg

Height of jump  = 8.18m

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the motion equation below:

             v²   = u²  + 2gH

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

       v² = 0²  +  2 x 9.8 x 8.18

     v  = 12.7m/s
