Well, one is more effeciant than the other. I think it would run on less gass.
All of the potential energy has changed and is being used in a different form. For example all of the potential energy could’ve change to kinetic energy. :)
Answer:
45.5 m
Explanation:
m = 2 kg, h = 20 m, E = 500 J, radius of earth = R, mass of earth = M
find the new height H
at h, the potential energy = -GMm/(R + h)
at H, the potential energy = -GMm/(R + H)
increase of the potential energy
= [-GMm/(R + H)] - [-GMm(R + h)]
= GMm[1/(R + h) - 1/(R + H)] = E
1/(R + h) - 1/(R + H) = E/(GMm)
(H - h)/[(R + H)(R + h)] = E/(GMm)
R + h ≈ R, R + H ≈ R
so (H - h)/R² = E/(GMm)
H - h = ER²/(GMm)
note GM/R² = g = 9.81 m/s²
so H - h = E/(mg)
H = h + E/(mg) = 20 + 500/(2*9.81) = 45.5 m
One of the scientist's jobs is to report the results of his experiments to all the other scientists in the world.
There isn't a single real science shop anywhere in the world that uses the US customary system of units. Not one.
Even in the measly three countries that use it for measuring carpet, pumping gas, and weighing fish ... Myanmar, Liberia, an the USA ... the scientists do their work in the SI/MKS/metric system.
