Answer:

Rahul's weight

Explanation:

In fact, the force Rahul exerts on Earth corresponds to the force of gravity. But Rahul's weight is, in fact, the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on Rahul, and these two forces correspond to the action-reaction pair of Newton's third law, which states that the two forces are equal.

Using formulas, Rahul's weight is equal to

W=mg

where m is Rahul mass and g is the gravitational acceleration (g=9.81 m/s^2).

What happen when a star dies?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

It depends on the size of the star. If it's size was normal then it cools down into White dwarf, then a black dwarf. If a really huge star dies, then we can see a "Supernova" from that.

Hope this helps!!

In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

17304 J

Explanation:

Complete statement of the question is :

In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 84 kg , are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 350 N .

Part A

How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?

Solution :

$T$ = tension force in the tow rope = 350 N

$L$ = length of the incline surface = 120 m

$W_{t}$ = work done by tension force = ?

The tension force acts parallel to incline surface, hence work done by tension force is given as

$W_{t} = T L\\W_{t} = (350) (120)\\W_{t} = 42000 J$

$h$ = height gained by the rider = 30 m

$m$ = total mass of rider and tube = 84 kg

Potential energy gained is given as

$U = mgh\\U = (84) (9.8) (30)\\U = 24696 J$

$Q$ = Thermal energy created

Using conservation of energy

$Q = W_{t} - U\\Q = 42000 - 24696\\Q = 17304 J$

How much energy is required to accelerate a golf ball of mass 0.046 kg initially at rest to a speed of 0.75c?

Andrew [12]

The required energy to accelerate the golf ball is $0.232875X10^{16} kg-m/sec^2$ .

<h2>What is Energy?</h2>

Energy, which is observable in the execution of labor as well as in the form of light and heat, is the quantitative quality that is transmitted to an object or to a physical phenomenon in physics.
Energy is a preserved resource; according to the rule of conservation of energy, energy can only be transformed from one form to another and cannot be created or destroyed.
The joule, which is defined as "the energy transmitted to an object by the effort of moving it a length of one metre against a force of one newton," is the standard measure for power in the International System of Units (SI).

Given that,

E= $mc^2$
