<span>When a person lifts the block, the block has more potential energy. Therefore the person does positive work on the block.
work = m g h
work = (4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m)
work = 52.92 joules
The person's work on the block is 52.92 joules
When the block is being raised, the force of gravity opposes the motion. Therefore the force of gravity does negative work on the block.
work = - (force) (h)
work = - m g h
work = -(4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m)
work = -52.92 joules
The work done by the force of gravity on the block is -52.92 joules
Note that when the block is moved horizontally, the potential energy does not change. Therefore there is no work done on the block when it moves horizontally (we are assuming that the kinetic energy does not change).</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass of child = 23 kg
Mass of bike = 5.5 kg
Velocity = 4.5 m/s
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
To find the momentum of each of them;
I. Momentum of the child
Momentum C = mass * velocity
Momentum C = 23 * 4.5
Momentum C = 103.5 Kgm/s
II. Momentum of the bike
Momentum B = mass * velocity
Momentum B = 5.5 * 4.5
Momentum B = 24.75 Kgm/s
Hence, we can deduce from the calculations that the momentum of the child is greater than that of the bike because of the higher mass possessed by the child.
Answer:

Explanation:
The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

where
G is the gravitational constant
m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite
is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

So the initial total energy is

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

so its gravitational potential energy is

And since it hits the ground with speed

it also has kinetic energy:

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

Answer:
0.2
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The acceleration of the train, a = 0.2·g
The mass of the person standing on the train = m
Let μ represent the coefficient of static friction, we have;
The force acting on the person, F = m × a = m × 0.2·g
The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor,
= m·g·μ
For the person not to slide we have;
The force acting on the person = The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor
F = 
∴ m × 0.2·g = m·g·μ
From which we get;
0.2 = μ
The coefficient of static friction that must exist between the feet and the floor if the person is not to slide, μ = 0.2.
