When you drop an object on the moon, it falls to the ground.
But it only falls about 1/6 as fast as it falls on Earth.
Answer
given,
diameter of the pipe is = (14 ft)4.27 m
minimum speed of the skater must have at very top = ?
At the topmost point of the pipe the normal force will be equal to zero.
F = mg
centripetal force acting on the skateboard
equating both the force equation
r = d/2 = 14/ 2 = 7 ft
or
r = 4.27/2 = 2.135 m
g = 32 ft/s² or g = 9.8 m/s²
v = 14.96 ft/s
or
v = 4.57 m/s
D. Riding a bike uphill
Increased height = increased potential energy
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply law of conservation of mechanical energy for projectile being thrown .
Total energy on the surface = total energy at height h required
a ) At height h , velocity = .351 x ( 2 GM/R x h )
h = .14 R
b )
h = .54 R
c ) least initial mechanical energy required at launch if the projectile is to escape Earth
= GMm / R + 1/2 m (2GM/R)
= 0
