Answer:

$PE=ME-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of an object is equal to the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy. Let ME is mechanical energy, KE is kinetic energy then its potential energy PE is given by :

$ME=PE+KE$

Since, KE = (1/2) mv^2

$PE=ME-KE\\\\PE=ME-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

So, $PE=ME-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$ correctly represents the gravitational potential energy of a .system

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards

Explanation:

Given:

weight of the person, $w=688\ N$

So, the mass of the person:

$m=\frac{w}{g}$

$m=\frac{688}{9.81}$

$m=70.132\ kg$

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 726\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w_a-w$

$\Delta w=726-688$

$\Delta w=38\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{38}{70.132}$

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is increased here.

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 598\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w-w_a$

$\Delta w=688-598$

$\Delta w=90\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{90}{70.132}$

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is decreased here.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

= 3521m/s

The tangential speed is approximately 3500 m/s.

Explanation:

F = m * v² ÷ r

Fg = (G * M * m) ÷ r²

(m v²) / r = (G * M * m) / r²

v² = (G * M) / r

v = √( G * M ÷ r)

G * M = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 5.97 * 10²⁴ = 3.98199 * 10¹⁴

r = 32000km = 32 * 10⁶ meters

G * M / r = 3.98199 * 10¹⁴ ÷ 32 * 10⁶

v = √1.24 * 10⁷

v = 3521.36m/s

The tangential speed is approximately 3500 m/s.
