Centre of Mass then axis of rotation and then moment of inertia. This was the toughest question for your level... happy to help ^_^. It was purely experimental question.
The answer that is being described above is the ASTEROIDS. The one that we see floating between Mars and Jupiter is what we call the Asteroid Belt. The asteroid belt comprises of different rocky bodies and they also orbit within the solar system. Hope this helps.
Answer:
Option C. 210 J.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg
Height (h) = 12 m
Velocity (v) = 18 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?
Next, we shall determine the potential energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg
Height (h) = 12 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 0.75 × 9.8 × 12
PE = 88.2 J
Next, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg
Velocity (v) = 18 m/s
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 0.75 × 18²
KE = ½ × 0.75 × 324
KE = 121.5 J
Finally, we shall determine the total mechanical energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:
Potential energy (PE) = 88.2 J
Kinetic energy (KE) = 121.5 J
Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?
ME = PE + KE
ME = 88.2 + 121.5
ME = 209.7 J
ME ≈ 210 J
Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the plane is 210 J.
