As a freely falling object picks up downward speed, what happens to the power supplied by the gravitational force?

We will start from the definition of power in terms of the Force. Power could be described as the change of energy in an instant of time. Considering that Energy is the product between the Force and the distance traveled we would arrive at the expression

P = \frac{E}{t}

P = \frac{F*h}{t}

Here,

F = Force

h = Height

t = Time

As there is no external force, apart from the force of gravity, and this, is constant during the course of the object we will also have to be constant power and therefore this during its course will be the same. The correct answer is (1)

A violin with string length 32 cm and string density 1.5 g/cm resonates in its fundamental with the first overtone of a 2.0-m or
love history [14]

Answer:

T=1022.42 N

Explanation:

Given that

l = 32 cm ,μ = 1.5 g/cm

L =2 m  ,V= 344 m/s

The pipe is closed so n= 3 ,for first over tone

f=\dfrac{nV}{4L}

f=\dfrac{3\times 344}{4\times 2}

f= 129 Hz

The tension in the string given as

T = f²(4l²) μ

Now by putting the values

T = f²(4l²) μ

T = 129² x (4 x 0.32²)  x 1.5 x  10⁻³ x 100

T=1022.42 N

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ, where g=9.80meter/
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Analysis of structure gives

a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ

Notice that all the expression are right but we want to know of we can simplify the expression further.

We want to analyse if we can still further simplify the expression,

Inspecting the Right hand side of the equation, we notice that the acceleration due to gravity is common to both side, so we can bring it out i.e.

So option a is wrong because the expression can be simplified further to

a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Option b is right and the best option.

Since we are given that, g=9.8m/s²

We can as well substitute that to option a

So we will have

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Also option C is correct but it is not best inserting the values of g directly without simplifying the expression first

So it will have been the best option if it was written as

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

So the best option is B.
