"(1) a satellite moving around Earth in a circular <span>orbit" is the only option from the list that describes an object in equilibrium, since velocity and gravity are working together to keep the orbit constant. </span>
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Gravitational Energy is the energy of position or place. A rock resting at the top of a hill contains gravitational Potential energy. Hydropower, such as water in a reservoir behind a dam, is an example of gravitational potential energy.
For this case, the first thing you should do is define a reference system.
Once the system is defined, we must follow the following steps:
1) Do the sum of forces in a horizontal direction
2) Do the sum of forces in vertical direction
The forces will be balanced if for each direction the net force is equal to zero.
The forces will be unbalanced if for each direction the net force is nonzero.
Answer:
Add the forces in the horizontal and vertical directions separately.
<h2>Answer: 10.52m</h2><h2 />
First, we have to establish the <u>reference system</u>. Let's assume that the building is on the negative y-axis and that the brick was thrown at the origin (see figure attached).
According to this, the initial velocity 
has two components, because the brick was thrown at an angle 
:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
As this is a projectile motion, we have two principal equations related:
<h2>
In the x-axis:
</h2>
(5)
Where:
is the distance where the brick landed
is the time in seconds
If we already know 
and 
, we have to find the time (we will need it for the following equation):
(6)
(7)
<h2>
In the y-axis:
</h2>
(8)
Where:
is the height of the building (<u>in this case it has a negative sign because of the reference system we chose)</u>
is the acceleration due gravity
Substituting the known values, including the time we found on equation (7) in equation (8), we will find the height of the building:
(9)
(10)
Multiplying by -1 each side of the equation:
>>>>This is the height of the building
