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:
140m east
Explanation:
If East is positive then lets rephrase the problem into integers
A truck moves +70 m, then moves -120m, and finally moves +90m.
So totally Displacement = +70-120+90= +140m
Since east is positive, the trucks resultant displacement is 140 m east of origin
Answer:
20.0 cm
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
The normal power for distant vision is 50.0 D. A young woman with normal distant vision has a 10.0% ability to accommodate (that is, increase) the power of her eyes. What is the closest object she can see clearly?
Solution
Now, the power of a lens, P = 1/f = 1/u + 1/v where f = focal length of lens, u = object distance from eye lens and v = image distance from eye lens.
Given that we require a 10 % increase in the power of the lens to accommodate the image she sees clearly, the new power P' = 50.0 D + 10/100 × 50 = 50.0 D + 5 D = 55.0 D.
Also, since the object is seen clearly, the distance from the eye lens to the retina equals the distance between the image and the eye lens. So, v = 2.00 cm = 0.02 m
Now, P' = 1/u + 1/v
1/u = P'- 1/v
1/u = 55.0 D - 1/0.02 m
1/u = 55.0 m⁻¹ - 1/0.02 m
1/u = 55.0 m⁻¹ - 50.0 m⁻¹
1/u = 5.0 m⁻¹
u = 1/5.0 m⁻¹
u = 0.2 m
u = 20 cm
So, at 55.0 dioptres, the closet object she can see is 20 cm from her eye.
Answer: It would destroy the Earth's surface.
I remember reading this questions in What If? by Randall Munroe. Great book, I suggest you check it out. Anyway, the answer. The Earth is revolving as well as spinning on its axis at the same time. This basically means that thee atmosphere is also spinning at the same speed. But due to the frame of reference, we don't notice anything. If the Earth suddenly stops spinning, then the atmosphere, going according to the first law of motion will still be spinning at the same speed. This would produce supersonic winds at such a scale that it will be compared to an atomic explosion. Anything not in a nuclear bunker will probably be ripped apart by the force of the wind.
