A small sphere of mass m is launched horizontally over a body of water from a height h above the water and with a launch speed v

0. Determine expressions for the following in terms of m, v0, h, and g. Air resistance is negligibly small.
(a) W is the amount work done by the force of gravity on the projectile during its flight.

W =
−mgh


For a conservative force, how does the work done by the force compare to the change in potential energy associated with the force?

Answer:

a)   W = m g h , b)     W / U = 1

Explanation:

a) work is defined by

        W = F. dy

in this case the force of gravity goes down and the displacement of the particle is down, so the two are parallel and the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

        W = F y

strength is the weight of the body

         F = m g

        W = m g h

where h is the distance the body descends

b) the only force acting on the body is the weight of the work and we calculated them in part a, the potential energy is

     U = m g h

to compare the two magnitudes of let's find their relationship

    W / U = mgh / mgh

    W / U = 1

Answer: apparent weighlessness.


Explanation:


1) Balance of forces on a person falling:


i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).


ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).


iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).


2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.


3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.


Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

"The predictions of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity were tested on a double pulsar system in January of 2004. His equati
Rasek [7]

Answer:

99.95%

Explanation:

A double pulsar system named PSR J0737-3039A/B  in Puppis constellation was discovered in the year 2003. Pulsars are second most densest object in the universe after black holes and they emit radio waves at regular intervals. This pair presented a great and natural setup to test the Theory of General Relativity presented by Einstein in 1915. In this theory Einstein had presented a set of equations on how the space-time fabric will be curved because of the very dense objects such as Neutron stars. It also predicted how the gravitational waves are created because of stars orbiting each other.

A team of astrophysicists led by Michael Kramer, conducted a study on how these gravitational waves will impact the time in which the radio waves emitted by pulsars will reach Earth. The result of the study proved the theory of General Relativity to be accurate up to 99.95%.

Milk containing 3.7% fat and 12.8% total solids is to be evaporated to produce a product containing 7.9% fat. What is the yield
ratelena [41]

Answer:

the yield of product is YP=46.835 % and the concentration of solids is

Cs = 27.33%

Explanation:

Assuming that all the solids and fats remains in the milk after the evaporation, then the mass of product mP will be

Mass of fat in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.037 = mP* 0.079

mP = 100 kg* 0.037/0.079  =  46.835 kg

then the yield YP of the product is

YP= mP / 100 kg =  46.835 kg / 100 kg = 46.835 %

YP= 46.835 %

the concentration of solids Cs is

Mass of solids in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.128 = 46.835 kg * Cs

Cs = 100 kg* 0.128 / 46.835 kg  = 0.2733 = 27.33%

Cs = 27.33%
