Answer:

ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of object; m = 1040 kg

To solve this, we will use the formula for potential energy which is;

U = -GMm/r

But we are told we want to move the object from the Earth's surface to an altitude four times the Earth's radius.

Thus;

ΔU = -GMm((1/r_f) - (1/r_i))

Where;

M is mass of earth = 5.98 × 10^(24) kg

r_f is final radius

r_i is initial radius

G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

Since, it's moving to altitude four times the Earth's radius, it means that;

r_i = R_e

r_f = R_e + 4R_e = 5R_e

Where R_e is radius of earth = 6371 × 10³ m

Thus;

ΔU = -6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 × 10^(24)

× 1040((1/(5 × 6371 × 10³)) - (1/(6371 × 10³))

ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J

. While a person lifts a book of mass 2 kg from the floor to a tabletop, 1.5 m above the floor, how much work does the the perso
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a) 29.4 J

b) - 29.4 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the book, m = 2 kg

Height above the floor, h = 1.5 m

Now,

the work done by the person will be = Force applied on the book × displacement of the book

thus,

Work done by the person = mg × h

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity

thus, on substituting the values, we get

Work done by the person = 2 × 9.8 × 1.5 = 29.4 J

now,

for the force applied by the gravitational pull (downwards) the displacement is in opposite direction (upwards) to the force of the gravity.

Thus,

work done by the gravity will be negative

therefore, the work done by the gravity = - mg × h

or

work done by the gravity = - 29.4 J

According to Newton's<br> Ist law, what will an<br> object in motion tend<br> to do?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

According to <em>Newton's first law of motion:</em>

<u>An object in motion tends to remain in motion unless an external force acts upon it.</u>

<u>It stays in motion with the same speed and goes in the same direction.</u>

<u></u>

<em>Hope this helped </em>

<em>:)</em>

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force of friction on the cart
Ber [7]
Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.

We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force F_f acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
F-F_a = ma
or
F=ma + F_f

since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of a=1.50 m/s^2, we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
F=(30 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+15 N=60 N
