Answer:
Explanation:
Potential energy on the surface of the earth
= - GMm/ R
Potential at height h
= - GMm/ (R+h)
Potential difference
= GMm/ R - GMm/ (R+h)
= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )
= GMmh / R (R +h)
This will be the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.
Extra energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h
= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h
= 1/2 x potential energy at height h
= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)
B. Elastic potential to kinetic energy
The elastic potential energy in the slingshot will be transferred to the stone as kinetic energy as the stone is launched.
Answer:
Stress = F / A force per unit area
A = 3.00 cm^2 = 3 E-4 m^2
F = 2.4E8 N/m^2 * 3E-4 m^2 = 7.2E4 N max force applied
F/3 = 2.4E4 N if force not to exceed limit (= f)
f = M a
a = 2.4 E4 N / 1.2 E3 kg = 20 m / s^2 about 2 g
Velocity. Net force causes acceleration and acceleration causes a change in direction and/or magnitude of velocity
