A 35 kg chair is lifted 5M off the ground. what is the potential energy?

How can people reach their full potential?

If they have self motivation or others motivation, they will show their full potential.

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity of the ball the instant bef

inessss [21]

Answer:

29.396988 m/s

Explanation:

Really, it depends on where the child is when he drops the ball - e.g., which planet he is on, and his distance from the center of that planet.

I'll assume that the child is on Earth at sea level at the equator, so that his distance from the geocenter is 6378000 meters.

The acceleration, g, is found from

g = GM/r²

G = 6.6743e-11 m³ kg⁻¹ sec⁻²

M = 5.9724e+24 kg

r = 6.378e+6 m

g = 9.799086 m sec⁻²

An approximate answer is found from an equation from constant acceleration kinematics:

v = gt

t = 3.0 sec

v = 29.397259 m/s

Now, the above method is an approximation that makes the technically incorrect assumption that the acceleration of gravity is a constant throughout the entire fall. You get away with it because the drop is very short. In another situation, it might not be. So it would be nice to develop a more accurate method that does not assume constant gravitational acceleration. For that, we begin with the Vis Viva equation:

v = √[GM(2/r − 1/a)]

Here,

a = the semimajor axis of a plunge orbit, which is equal to half of the apoapsis distance of 6378000+h, where

h = the altitude from which the ball is dropped

We can (using some math) develop the following equation:

t − t₀ = √[d/(2GM)] { √(rd−r²) + d arctan √(d/r−1) }

t − t₀ = 3 sec

r = 6378000 meters

d = r + h

Using an iterative method (e.g. Newton's or Danby's), we can determine that the altitude,

h = 44.0954 meters

So,

d = 6378044.09538 meters

a = d/2 = 3189022.04769 meters

Now we can calculate that

v = 29.396988 m/s

This is the more nearly correct answer because it takes into account the variability of the gravitational acceleration during the fall.

With respect to the earth, object 1 is moving at speed 0.80 c to the right. Object 2 is moving in the same direction at speed 0.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

0.976 c

Explanation:

$v_{1e}$ = velocity of object 1 relative to earth = 0.80 c

$v_{21}$ = velocity of object 2 relative to object 1 = 0.80 c

$v_{2e}$ = velocity of object 2 relative to earth

Velocity of object 2 relative to earth is given as

$v_{2e}= \frac{v_{1e} + v_{21}}{1 + \frac{v_{1e}v_{21}}{c^{2}}}$

$v_{2e}= \frac{0.80 c + 0.80 c}{1 + \frac{(0.80c)(0.80c)}{c^{2}}}$

$v_{2e}$ = 0.976 c

Based on the following equation, answer the questions below. ρ = (2γϕ + ψ)/rg where ρ [=] moles per cubic foot [mol/ft3] γ [=] j

AlekseyPX

1) Fundamental units of $\Psi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

2) Fundamental units of $\Phi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

Explanation:

The equation for the variable $\rho$ is

$\rho =\frac{2\gamma \Phi+\Psi}{rg}$

where we have:

$\rho$ measured in $[\frac{mol}{ft^3}]$

$\gamma$ measured in $[\frac{J}{kg}]$

$r$ measured in $[in]$

$g$ measured in $[\frac{m}{s^2}]$

We can re-write the equation as

$\rho rg = 2\gamma \Phi + \Psi$

And we notice that the units of the term on the left must be equal to the units of the term on the right.

This means that:

1) First of all, $\Psi$ must have the same units of $\rho r g$ . So,

$[\rho r g]=[\frac{mol}{ft^3}][in][\frac{m}{s^2}]$

However, both ft (feet) and in (inches) are not fundamental dimensions: this means that they can be expressed as meters. Therefore, the fundamental units of $\Psi$ are

$[\Psi]=[\frac{mol}{m^3}][m][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$
