Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

Ep = m · g · h Assuming that the acceleration is g = 10m/s²

Ep = 45.4 · 10 · 21.9 = 9,942.6 J

Burka [1]

Answer:

m = 1.82E+23 kg

Explanation:

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

mG = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

m = 1.82E+23 kg

The brick, even though the brick would end up traveling faster, it most likely has a larger surface area therefore it would have more air resistance.

You are driving downhill on a rural road with a 3% grade at a speed of 45 mph. While playing on the side of the road, a child ac

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: a) 95.07m b) 81.88 m

Explanation:

For finding the distance when vehicle is going downhill we have the formula as:

Stop sight distance= Velocity*Reaction time + Velocity² / 2*g*(f constant- Grade value)

Now by AASHTO, we have for v= 45 mph= 72.4 kph, f= 0.31

Reaction time= 0.28

So putting values we get

Stop sight distance= 0.28*72.4 *1 + $\frac{(0.28*72.4)^{2} }{2*9.81*(0.31-0.03)}$

Stop sight distance= 95.07 m

For finding the distance when vehicle is going uphill we have the formula as:

Stop sight distance= Velocity*Reaction time + Velocity² / 2*g*(f constant- Grade value)

Now by AASHTO, we have for v= 45 mph= 72.4 kph, f= 0.31

Reaction time= 0.28

So putting values we get

Stop sight distance= 0.28*72.4 *1 + $\frac{(0.28*72.4)^{2} }{2*9.81*(0.31+0.03)}$

Stop sight distance= 81.88 m
