Answer:
K = -½U
Explanation:
From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;
U = -GMm/R
Where,
G is gravitational constant
M and m are the two masses exerting the forces
R is the distance between the two objects
Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;
K = GMm/2R
Re-rranging, we have;
K = ½(GMm/R)
Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;
K = -½U
Answer:
The work done to get you safely away from the test is 2.47 X 10⁴ J.
Explanation:
Given;
length of the rope, L = 70 ft
mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft
your mass, W = 120 lbs
mass of the 70 ft rope = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft
= 140 lbs.
Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs + 140 lbs
= 260 lbs
The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;
W = Mgh
where;
g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²
h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft
W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s² x 70 ft
W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²
1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J
W = 585494 lb.ft²/s² = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.
Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is 2.47 X 10⁴ J.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
When a satellite is orbiting the earth , a constant force is being applied on it which means it must has acceleration. Also the direction of satellite is always being changed when it is orbitting to there is always change in the velocity vector which means acceleration.
You can view in the attached diagram to understand how the velocity is being changed.
