Calculate the potential energy at the top of the giant drop if the car weights 1000 kg

1 answer:

6 0

The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters). That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.

Given,

Distance from the surface to the center of the earth, d=4000 miles

Distance from the center to you at a height of 8000 miles, a= 8000+4000=12000 miles

The gravitational force acting on a person at the surface is equal to his weight.

From Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force is

$F=\frac{G\times M\times m}{r^2}$

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the object/person, r is the distance between the center of the earth and the object/person

At the surface, this force is equal to the weight of the person, W=mg

i.e.

$F_s=\frac{G\times M\times m}{d^2}=W$

On substituting the of d,

$W=\frac{\text{GMm}}{4000^2}$

At a height of 8000 miles from the surface, the gravitational force is equal to,

$F_a=\frac{GMm}{12000^2}$

On dividing the above two equations,

$\frac{F_a}{W}=\frac{4000^2^{}}{12000^2}=\frac{1}{9}$

Therefore,

$F_a=\frac{1}{9}W$

Therefore at a height of 8000 miles above the surface of the earth, the force of gravity becomes 1/9 time your weight.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The very high voltage needed to create a spark across the spark plug is produced at the transformer's secondary winding. <span>The secondary coil is engulfed by a powerful and changing magnetic field. This field induces a current in the coils -- a very high-voltage current.</span>

Our eyes are typically 6 cm apart. Suppose you are somewhat unique, and yours are 9.50 cm apart. You see an object jump from sid

Serhud [2]

Answer: 12.67 cm, 8 cm

Explanation:

Given

Normal distance of separation of eyes, d(n) = 6 cm

Distance of separation is your eyes, d(y) = 9.5 cm

Angle created during the jump, θ = 0.75°

To solve this, we use the formula,

θ = d/r, where

θ = angle created during the jump

d = separation between the eyes

r = distance from the object

θ = d/r

0.75 = 9.5 / r

r = 9.5 / 0.75

r = 12.67 cm

θ = d/r

0.75 = 6 / r

r = 6 / 0.75

r = 8 cm

Thus, the object is 12.67 cm far away in your own "unique" eyes, and just 8 cm further away to the normal person eye

Heartburn is a form of indigestion felt as a burning sensation in the chest when stomach acid comes back up into the esophagus.

xenn [34]

The antacid is basic so it neutralizes acidity or lowers it. Then if it goes into the esophagus, it's not as strong and it doesn't hurt, and it also calms your stomach because the acidity in your stomach is also lower. Antacids are therefore taken by many people, especially as they grow older and things like heartburn become more common.
