Answer:

h' = 603.08 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the initial velocity of the pellet on the surface of Earth by using third equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height of pellet = 100 m

Vf = final velocity of pellet = 0 m/s (since, pellet will momentarily stop at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity of Pellet = ?

Therefore,

(2)(-9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √(1960 m²/s²)

Vi = 44.27 m/s

Now, we use this equation at the surface of moon with same initial velocity:

2g'h' = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = 1.625 m/s²

h' = maximum height gained by pellet on moon = ?

Therefore,

2(1.625 m/s²)h' = (44.27 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²

h' = (1960 m²/s²)/(3.25 m/s²)

<u>h' = 603.08 m</u>

Explain how objects in motion have kinetic energy, use examples
Ann [662]
Kinetic energy is energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion, there for if an object is moving, it has kinetic energy.
Example; A roller coaster sitting on top of hill has potential energy. When it starts to move and is going down the hill, it has kinetic energy. :)

3. a) If the distance between two objects increases by a factor of 5 (5),
irina [24]

Answer:

Answer for A

Explanation:

F1=GmM/r1^2

If r2 becomes r2=5r

F2=GmM/(25r^2)

Multiply with 25 gives to maintain the same force

I.e.,25F2=F1

F2=G(25m)M/25r^2=F1

By the factor 25 would change to increase to same.

When non-metric units were used in the United Kingdom, a unit of mass called the pound-mass (lbm) was employed, where 1lbm=0.453
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) 0.022%

b) 10014.32 lb

Explanation:

a) Percentage uncertainty would be

0.0001\times \frac{100}{0.4539}=0.022%

Percent uncertainty is 0.022%

b) For 1 kg uncertainty mass in kg would be

\frac{1}{0.022}\times {100}=4545.5\ kg

Mass in pounds would be

\frac{4545.5}{0.4539}=10014.32\ lb

Mass in pound-mass is 10014.32 lb

What is the mathematical relationship between wavelength and energy transmission?.
Tomtit [17]

Answer: Wavelength is related to light and also related to energy. The shorter the wavelengths and the higher the frequency corresponds with greater energy. So the longer the wavelengths and lower the frequency results in lower energy. The energy equation is E = hν.

The speed of light inside a medium is (2.0 x 10^8m/s) What is the index of refraction (n) of the medium?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Refractive index of a medium = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in a medium

1.5 = 3 x 108 / Speed of light in medium

Speed of light in the medium = 3 x 108 /1.5

= 2 x 108 m/s.
