294000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill = 500m

Mass of Chris = 60kg

Unknown:

Potential energy increase = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of the position of a body.

  Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the bike

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

At the base of the hill,

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 0 = 0J

At the top:

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 500 = 294000J

Potential energy increase = 294000J - 0J = 294000J

If a net force applied to an object is equal to zero, then the forces that are acting on an object are considered.
hjlf

Answer:

The mass will accelerate. Balanced Forces: When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero. Velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force. A plane will fly at constant velocity if the acceleration is zero.

Current evidence suggests that many massive jovian planets orbit at very close orbital distances to their stars. How do we think
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

In the Solar system, the Jovian planets are farther from the Sun. Majority of the extrasolar Jovian planets are closer to their stars. These are known as "Hot Jupiters". From the studies, the reason for the existence of massive Jovian planets to be closer to their star is found to be the gravitational interaction of these planets with other massive planets which pushes them closer to their stars. These planets are formed beyond the frost line initially but later on migrate inwards.

Four point masses of 3.0 kg each are arranged in a square on masslessrods. The length of a side of the square is 0.50m. What is
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Part a)

I = 1.5 kg m^2

Part b)

I = 0.75 kg m^2

Part c)

I = 1.5 kg m^2

Explanation:

Part a)

Moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through B and C is given as

I = mL^2 + mL^2 + m(0) + m(0)

I = 2mL^2

I = 2(3 kg)(0.50^2)

I = 1.5 kg m^2

Part b)

Moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through A and C is given as

I = m(0^2) + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2 + m(0) + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2

I = 2m\frac{L^2}{2}

I = (3 kg)(0.50^2)

I = 0.75 kg m^2

Part c)

Moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the center of the square and perpendicular to the plane of the square

I = m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2 + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2 + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2 + m(\frac{L}{\sqrt2})^2

I = 4m\frac{L^2}{2}

I = 2(3 kg)(0.50^2)

I = 1.5 kg m^2
