Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a moving object is directly proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the square of its velocity. This means that an object with twice the mass and equal speed will have twice the kinetic energy while an object with equal mass and twice the speed will have quadruple the kinetic energy.

Gravity on Jupiter is 25 m/s/s, what is the weight of a 12 kg object on Jupiter?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

300 Newtons

Explanation:

Weight is the force of attraction between two bodies, one usually larger (like a planet), and one smaller (like a person). Force can be calculated using the formula: Force = mass × acceleration.

The mass here is 12kg, the acceleration, which in this case, is the acceleration due to gravity is 25m/s/s, by plugging in our values, we have

Force = 12 × 25 = 300 Newtons or 300 N for short.

Study the scenario.

Otrada [13]

If no other forces act on the object, according to Newton’s first law, the spacecraft will continue moving at a constant velocity, assuming that a planet or something with large mass doesn’t cross its path. Forces are not required to continue the motion of an object on a frictionless plane at a constant rate.

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?

poizon [28]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

$PE=m*g*h$

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

$m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)$

Multiply the first two numbers.

0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

$PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)$
