The acceleration due to gravity changes as we move away from Earth, and the expression for gravitational potential energy must reflect this change. The total energy of a system is the sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energy, and this total energy is conserved in orbital motion.

A mother is helping her children, of unequal weight, to balance on a seesaw so that they will be able to make it tilt back and f
horsena [70]

Answer:

L₁ = W×L / w

Explanation:

The scenario is shown in the image below.

<u>At the pivot point, the torque acting on this point must be zero so that there will be easy back and forth without the heavier child.</u>

<u>Torque created by lighter child + Torque created by the heavier child = 0</u>

Thus,

According to the axis system, the heavier child is left to the pivot (origin), so,

W×(- L ) + w× L₁ = 0

So,

<u>L₁ = W×L / w</u>

block of mass m sits at rest on a rough inclined ramp that makes an angle with the horizontal. What must be true about normal fo
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a body on a ramp with mass m, the forces acting on the body along the vertical component are the weight and the normal reaction.

The weight of the body acts in the negative y direction while the normal reaction acts in the positive y direction

Taking the sum of forces along the y component

Sum Fy = -W+R = ma

Since acceleration is zero

-W+R = m(0)

-W+R = 0

-W = -R

W = R

Hence the Normal reaction force acting on the on the body is equal to normal force
