Answer:

Well the definition of an application is the act of putting to a special use or purpose so lam assuming that you want specific uses that scientists make of gravity in their work.

Well our first application has helped us to send satellites around the solar system with what Nasa calls gravity assist. Using a particular planets gravity to slingshot a satellite to another destination. Look it up.

The next application much simpler but here on Earth. There are many hydro-electric power stations in use all over the world. Water is stored at a high level and released falling 100s of metres to a turbine where it generates electricity.

Hope that helps.

In an electric vehicle, each wheel is powered by its own motor. The vehicle weight is 4,000 lbs. By regenerative braking, its sp

Answer:

the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

Explanation:

Given that;

weight of vehicle = 4000 lbs

we know that 1 kg = 2.20462

m = 4000 / 2.20462 = 1814.37 kg

Initial velocity $V_{i}$ = 60 mph = 26.8224 m/s

Final velocity $V_{f}$ = 30 mph = 13.4112 m/s

now we determine change in kinetic energy

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ m( $V_{i}$ ² - $V_{f}$ ² )

we substitute

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ ×1814.37( (26.8224)² - (13.4112)² )

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 1814.37 × 539.5808

Δk = 489500 Joules

we know that; 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 10⁶ Joule

Δk = 489500 / 3.6 × 10⁶

Δk = 0.13597 ≈ 0.136 kWh

Therefore, the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh
