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.

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it  must also be zero.

The net external force and the net external torque acting on the object have to be zero for an object to be in mechanical equilibrium.

Hence, the given statement is true.

A vertical spring with spring stiffness constant 305 N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 28.0 cm when 0.235 kg hangs from it. Th
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The function that describe the motion in the time

y (t) = 0.28m * sin ( 36.025 * t)

Explanation:

The angular frequency of oscillation of the spring

w = √k/m

w = √305 N/m / 0.235 kg

w = 36.025 rad / s

To determine the function of the motion knowing as a motion oscillation in a amplitude a frequency

y(t) = A * sin (w t )

So

A = 28.0 cm * 1 m / 100 cm = 0.28 m

So replacing to determine the function of the motion in the time

y (t) = A sin (w t)

y (t) = 0.28m * sin ( 36.025 * t)

The velocity of a 150 kg cart changes from 6.0 m/s to 14.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of the impulse that acted on it?
aleksandrvk [35]
M = 150 kg.

Final velocity, v = 14 m/s

Initial Velocity, u = 6 m/s

Impulse =  m(v - u)
 
             = 150*(14 - 6)
           
             =  150*8 = 1200 kgm/s  or 1200 Ns
