Answer:
Linear and rotational Kinetic Energy + Gravitational potential energy
Explanation:
The ball rolls off a tall roof and starts falling.
Let us first consider the potential energy or more specifically gravitational potential energy (
;
= mass of the ball,
= acceleration due to gravity,
= height of the roof). This energy comes because someone or something had to do work to take the ball to the top of the roof against the force of gravity. The potential energy is naturally maximum at the top and minimum when the ball finally reaches the ground.
Now, the ball starts to roll and falls off the roof. It shall continue rotating because of inertia (Newton's first law). This contributes to the rotational kinetic energy (
;
=moment of inertia of the ball &
= angular velocity).
Finally comes the linear kinetic energy or simply, kinetic energy (
) which is caused due to the velocity
of the ball.
Vt = Vboat - Vriver
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s
If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .
The child's linear speed is
<em> (pi / 5) x (the child's distance from the center of the ride, in feet)</em>
feet per second.
Answer:
The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.
Explanation:
Orbital speed of satellite is given by
, where G is gravitational constant, M is mass of Earth and r is the distance to satellite from centre of Earth.
r = R + h = 6350 + 1400 = 7750 km = 7.75 x 10⁶ m
G = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
M = 5.98 x 10²⁴ kg
Substituting

The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.
Answer:
Point a
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object is given by :
P = mgh
m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height above ground level.
Potential energy is directly proportional to the position of an object.
In the attached figure, the maximum height is shown at point (a). It means it will have maximum potential energy at a as compared to b,c and d.
