Copernicus's heliocentric theory stated that the planets orbited in perfectly circular orbits. In reality, they are shaped like ellipses (ovals).
Answer:
20 m
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the kinetic energy of the mass. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 10 kg
Velocity (v) = 20 m/s
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 10 × 20²
KE = 5 × 400
KE = 2000 J
Finally, we shall the height to which the mass must be located in order to have potential energy that is the same as the kinetic energy. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 10 kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Potential energy (PE) = Kinetic energy (KE) = 2000 J
Height (h) =..?
PE = mgh
2000 = 10 × 10 × h
2000 = 100 × h
Divide both side by 100
h = 2000 / 100
h = 20 m
Thus, the object must be located at a height of 20 m in order to have potential energy that is the same as the kinetic energy.

Answer: 1000 J</h2>
The Work
done by a Force
refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.
It should be noted that it is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter:
Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:
(1)
When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it
. In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:
(2)
For example, in order to push the 200 N box across the floor, you have to apply a force along the distance
to overcome the resistance of the weight of the box (its 200 N).
In this case both <u>(the force and the distance in the path) are parallel</u>, so the work
performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box
by the distance traveled
. as shown in equation (1).
Hence:
>>>>This is the work
Sorry!
This cannot be answered. We don't have weight, height, etc.
