(a)
The gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system is given by
(1)
where
G is the gravitational constant
is the mass of sphere A
is the mass of sphere B
r = 1.8 m is the distance between the two spheres
Substitutign data in the formula, we find
and the sign is negative since gravity is an attractive force.
(b)
According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy gained by sphere B will be equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the system:
(2)
where
is the initial potential energy
The final potential energy can be found by substituting
r = 1.80 m -0.60 m=1.20 m
inside the equation (1):
U=-\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(94 kg)(100 kg)}{1.2 m}=-5.22\cdot 10^{-7} J
So now we can use eq.(2) to find the kinetic energy of sphere B:
Answer:
Explanation:
Coordinate system is one that describe the location of an object in a given plane. It implies the use of axes (coordinates) and points.
Given that the man in the question walks 400 m due north of east. The cardinal points can be used in this case, with the north and east cardinals as the required axis.
scale =
=
=
scale = 1:40
This is a reduced scale which implies that 1 cm on the drawing is equal to 40 m on the original length.
The man's direction is north of east.
The graphical drawing of the vector is herewith attached to this answer.
