Answer:

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another

Kinetic Energy + Energy due to air resistance = Potential energy..........(1)

If there is no energy loss due to air resistance, potential energy = kinetic energy

mass, m = 1.5 kg

height, h = 4.0 m

speed, v = 6 m/s

Kinetic energy = 0.5 mv²

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * 1.5 * 6²

Kinetic energy = 27 Joules

Potential Energy = mgh

Potential energy = 1.5 * 9.8 * 4

Potential energy = 58.8 Joules

From equation (1)

27 + Energy due to air resistance = 58.8

Energy due to air resistance = 58.8 - 27

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules

Answer:

Explanation:

Note:

Air resistance in the way means not all of the potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy.

Given:

Mass = 1.5 kg

D = 4 m

Vf = 6 m/s

Energy + KE = PE

= (M × g × d) - (1/2 × M × V^2)

= (1.5 × 9.8 × 4) - (1/2 × 1.5 × 6^2)

= 58.8 - 27

= 31.8 J

Use Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation to calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force between a 200 kg refrigerator an
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

From newton' s law of universal gravitation,

F = Gmm'/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the person and the refrigerator, m = mass of the person, m' = mass of the refrigerator, r = distance between the person and the refrigerator. G = gravitational universal constant.

Given: m = 70 kg, m' = 200 kg, r = 0.5 m

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹×70×200)/0.5²

F = 93380×10⁻¹¹/0.25

F = 373520×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Hence the force between the person and the refrigerator =  3.735×10⁻⁶ N

If gravity on the earth increased, what affect would it have on the moon
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

If gravity on Earth is increased, this gravitational tugging would have influenced the moon's rotation rate. If it was spinning more than once per orbit, Earth would pull at a slight angle against the moon's direction of rotation, slowing its spin. If the moon was spinning less than once per orbit, Earth would have pulled the other way, speeding its rotation.
