A person drops a pebble of mass m1 from a height h, and it hits the floor with kinetic energy KE. The person drops another pebbl

e of mass m2 from a height of 4h, and it hits the floor with the same kinetic energy KE. How do the masses of the pebbles compare

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

<em>✔ We have: KE = PE (potential energy) </em>

<em>PE = m x g x h </em>

The potential energy that the pebble of mass 1 has is called PE1 and the potential energy that the pebble of mass 2 has is called PE2  

PE1 = PE2 ⇔ PE1/PE2 = 1

\frac{m_1\times g\times h}{m_2\times g\times 4h} = 1 \\ \\  \frac{m_1}{m_2\times 4} = 1 \\ \\  \frac{m_1}{m_2} = 4

The mass m1 is therefore 4 times greater than that of the stone of mass m2.

Andru [333]

Answer:

James is correct here as the force of hand pushing upwards is always more than the force of hand pushing down

Explanation:

Here we know that one hand is pushing up at some distance midway while other hand is balancing the weight by applying a force downwards

so here we can say

Upwards force = downwards Force + weight of snow

while if we find the other force which is acting downwards

then for that force we can say that net torque must be balanced

so here we have

F_{down} L_1 = W_{snow} L_2

so here we have

F_{down} = \frac{L_2}{L_1} (W_{snow})

so here we can say that upward force by which we push up is always more than the downwards force

The mass of a certain neutron star is 2.5x10^30kg and the radius 7000m. what is the force of gravity on a 1kg object of the surf
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

3.42N

Explanation:

*not too sure bc i left my physics notes at school so it might not be 100% accurate :p*

Use the equation: F = (GMm)/(r^2)

F = force of gravity

G = gravitational constant (6.7x10^-11)

M = mass1 (2.5x10^30kg)

m = mass2 (1kg)

r = radius (7000m)

Plug it in: F = ((6.7x10^-11)(2.5x10^30)(1)) / (7000^2)

F = (1.675x10^20) / (4.9x10^7)

F = 3.4183673x10^12

F = 3.42N

Two objects are electrically charged. The net charge on one object is doubled. Therefore, the electric force _____.
creativ13 [48]
If net charge on one object is doubled, then electric force will also get double. It is because they are directly proportional to each other.

Hope this helps!
