Given:-

Mass of boulder = 10kg

Final Velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = +10m/s

To Find:-

The kinetic energy of the boulder as it lands

The potential energy of the boulder when it was at the top of the cliff

The height of the cliff

Formulae used:-

Kinetic energy = mv²/2

Potential energy = mgh

Now,

We will first find the Kinetic enrgy,

→ K. E = ½mv²

→ K. E = ½ × 10 × (15)²

→ K. E = 5 × 225

→ K. E =1125J

But we know that when the body starts moving the Potential enrgy of the body starts Converting into Kinetic enrgy. Before reaching to the last spot it has equal kinetic energy and Potential energy.

Therefore,

→ mgh = 1125J

The Potential enrgy of the boulder when it was on top is 1125J

Now,

→ mgh = 1125J

→ 10 × 10 × h = 1125J

→ 100h = 1125J

→ h = 1125/100

→ h = 11.25m

Hence, The Height of the Cliff is 11.25m

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 445-kg satellite that is a distance of 1.77 earth radii from

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a)1396.52 N

b)1396.52 N

c) $a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2$

d) $a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2$

Explanation:

The force experienced by the satelite is giveb by

$F= \frac{Gm_{satellite}m_{earth}}{r^2} \\$

m_{satellite}= 445 Kg

m_{earth}= 6×10^24 Kg

radius r= 1.77Re= 1.77×6.38×10^6 m

now putting values we get

$F= \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}(445)(6\times10^24)}{(1.77\times6.38\times10^6)^2}$

⇒F= 1396.52 N

now,

$a_{satellite}= \frac{F}{m_{satellite}}$

$a_{satellite}= \frac{1396.52}{445}$

$a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2$

also,

$a_{earth}= \frac{F}{m_{earth}}$

$a_{earth}= \frac{1396.52}{(6\times10^24)}$

$a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2$

HELP!!! I have no idea how to calculate this.

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the kinematics of a body.

Since, we know that Velocity = Distance / time

hence, V = 20/5 = 4 m/s

hence the velocity of the RC car is 4 m/s westwards direction.
