A 12 g plastic ball is dropped from a height of 2.5 m and is moving at 3.2 m/s just before it hits the floor. How much mechanica
1 answer:
Answer:
0.24
Explanation:
Mass of ball= 12g=0.012Kg
height of ball= 2.5m
velocity of ball before falling= 3.2m/s
potential energy of the ball=mgh= 0.012*10*2.5=0.3J
kinetic energy of the ball=0.5*m=0.5*0.012*3.2*3.2=0.6J
Loss in mechanical energy during the fall= potential energy- Kinetic energy= 0.3-0.06=0.24J
note: During the fall, the potential energy of the ball is converted to kinetic energy. the loss in energy is due to air resistance.

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/
</h2>
Explanation:
A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.
Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x Kg
Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km
The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?
By formula, g =
where g is the acceleration due to the gravity
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x
M is the mass of the planet
r is the radius of the planet
Substituting the values, we get
g =
g = 12.12 m/
The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/
