barxatty [35]

r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m

v1 = 9*10^4 m/s

From conservation of energy

K1 +U1 = K2 +U2

0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2

0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2

M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2

0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))

v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s

Two identical stones, A and B, are thrown from a cliff from the same height and with the same initial speed. Stone A is thrown v
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

This can be explained based on the conservation of energy.

The total mechanical energy of the system remain constant in the absence of any external force. Also, the total mechanical energy of the system is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy associated with the system.

In case of two stones thrown from a cliff one vertically downwards the other vertically upwards, the overall gravitational potential energy remain same for the two stones as the displacement of the stones is same.

Therefore the kinetic energy and hence the speed of the two stones should also be same in order for the mechanical energy to remain conserved.

Alika [10]
The total distance is 70km.
The total time is 60 minutes or 1 hour.
Speed=Distance÷Time
=70÷1

Calculate the pressure on the ground from an 80 kg woman leaning on the back of one of her shoes with a 1cm diameter heel, and c
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Pressure of woman will be 99.87\times 10^5N/m^2

Pressure of the elephant will be 1716560.50N/m^2

Explanation:

We have given that mass of the woman m = 80 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Diameter of shoes = 1 cm =0.01 m

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.01}{2}=0.005m

So area A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.005^2=7.85\times 10^{-5}m^2

We know that force is given  F = mg

So F=80\times 9.8=784N

Now we know that pressure is given by P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{784}{7.85\times 10^{-5}}=99.87\times 10^5N/m^2

Now mass of elephant m = 5500 kg

So force of elephant = 5500×9.8 = 53900 N

Diameter = 20 cm

So radius r = 10 cm

So area will be A=3.14\times 0.1^2=0.0314m^2

So pressure will be P=\frac{53900}{0.0314}=1716560.50N/m^2
