Answer:
write something like after the spacecraft launched all of the potential energy transformed into kinetic energy causing the spacecraft to go at an abnormal spped.
Explanation:
The gravitation force is quartered when two objects' masses are halved without changing their distance.
Gravitational law states that the force of attraction and repulsion between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.
F=(KM1 M2)/r^2
K= Gravitation force constant
M1M2 = masses of the object
r = distance between objects
When M1 and M2 are halved, it becomes M1/2 and M2/2
F=(K M1/2 x M2/2)/r^2
F=(K (M1 x M2)/4)/r^2
F=(KM1 x M2)/(4r^2 )
Recall
F=(KM1 x M2)/r^2
Therefore
F=F/4

337493603.8m/s²
Explanation:
Radius of the earth = 6.38 x 10¹⁶m
time = 24hr (86400s)
Unknown:
Centripetal acceleration = ?
Solution:
The centripetal acceleration is directed inward to keep the body from falling off the surface of the earth.
centripetal acceleration = 
where v is the velocity and r is the radius
also;
v = wr
where w is the angular velocity
substituting in the equation for centripetal acceleration gives;
a = w²r
also w = 
therefore;
a = 
a = 
a = 337493603.8m/s²

Answer:
2.61 J
Explanation:
Since potential energy U = mgy where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = height of object above the ground.
Now for the coffee mug, m= 0.422 kg and it is 0.63 m on a table, so it is 0.63 m above the ground. Thus, y = 0.63 m.
We compute U
U = mgy
= 0.422 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.63 m
= 2.605 J
≅ 2.61 J
So, the potential energy of the mug with respect to the floor is 2.61 J
