The kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the child, m = 16 kg</em>
  • <em>Length of the incline, L = 2 m</em>
  • <em>Angle of inclination, θ = 20⁰</em>

The vertical height of fall of the child from the top of the incline is calculated as;

sin(20) = \frac{h}{2} \\\\h = 2 \times sin(20)\\\\h = 0.68 \ m

The gravitational potential energy of the child at the top of the incline is calculated as;

P.E = mgh\\\\P.E = 16 \times 9.8 \times 0.68\\\\P.E = 106.62 \ J

Thus, based on the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J since no energy is lost to friction.

An astronaut is standing on the surface of a planetary satellite that has a radius of 1.74 × 10^6 m and a mass of 7.35 × 10^22 k
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

2.87 km/s

Explanation:

radius of planet, R = 1.74 x 10^6 m

Mass of planet, M = 7.35 x 10^22 kg

height, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m

G = 6.67 x 106-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Use teh formula for acceleration due to gravity

g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}

g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{1.74^{2}\times 10^{12}}

g = 1.62 m/s^2

initial velocity, u = ?, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m , final velocity, v = 0

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh

0 = v² - 2 x 1.62 x 2.55 x 10^6

v² = 8262000

v = 2874.37 m/s

v = 2.87 km/s

Thus, the initial speed should be 2.87 km/s.

How does inertia relate to coin dropping????
vekshin1

Well Inertia means something wants to stay in place, and in reality that coin wants to stay in one place, If you placed it on an index card on a cup, and SLOWLY pulled it, it wouldn't be fast enough to overcome that force, if you pulled it quickly that coin would stay in place and drop into the cup.
