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. :)
Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.
In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.
Answer:
V (initial vertical velocity) = 45.4 sin 31.2 = 23.52 m/s
1/2 m V^2 = m g h conservation of energy
h = V^2 / (2 g) = 23.52^2 / 19.6 = 28.2 m max height
Check:
t = 28.2 / 9.8 = 2.88 sec time to reach max height
h = 23.52 * 2.88 - 1/2 g 2.88^2 = 27.1 m
Answer:
0.12
Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity of a planet with mass M and radius R is given as:
g = (G*M) / R²
Where G is gravitational constant.
The mass of the planet M = 3 times the mass of earth = 3 * 5.972 * 10^24 kg
The radius of the planet R = 5 times the radius of earth = 5 * 6.371 * 10^6 m
Therefore:
g(planet) = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 3 * 5.972 * 10^24) / (5 * 6.371 * 10^6)²
g(planet) = 1.18 m/s²
Therefore ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(planet) to acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(earth) is:
g(planet)/g(earth) = 1.18/9.8 = 0.12
