Answer:
The force, exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N
Explanation:
The question relates to the force of gravity experienced between two bodies
The given parameters are;
The mass of Big Ben, M₁ = 1 × 10⁸ kg
The mass of the Empire State Building, M₂ = 1 × 10⁹ kg
The distance between the two Big Ben and the Empire State Building, r = 5,000,000 meters
By Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;
Where;
F = The force exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building and vice versa
G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²
M₁, M₂, and r are the given parameters
By plugging in the values of the parameters and the constant into the equation for Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;
The force, 'F', exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is F = 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N.
Answer:
h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)
Explanation:
This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy
Kinetic energy = m
Plug in the numbers = (4.0)(
)
Solve = 2(64) = 128 J
Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.
Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)
Kinetic energy = Potential Energy
128 J = 39.2h
h = 3.26 m
h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)
