- particle in the xy plane travels along a spiral path C beginning at a point P that is 8 units from the origin and ending at a point Q that is 2 units from the origin. The particle makes 2.5 revolutions around the origin along the way. What is the work done by the gravitational field F(x,y) = -x/(x^2=y^2)^3/2 i + -y/(x^2+y^2)^3/2 j in moving the particle along its path. Enter your answer as an integer or a deimal rounded to 3 placesarrow_forward0 Question 1 The potential gravitational energy of a mass can be a negative value. True O False 1 ptsarrow_forwardThree different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. Each step is of uniform height d. The mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass m: object 1 has mass 4.60m, object 2 has mass 2.21m, and object 3 has mass m. When the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. If the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? Each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. Each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables m, g, and d, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Enter only the numerical coefficient. (Example: If the answer is 1.23mgd, just enter 1.23) This potential energy was calculated relative to the bottom of the stairs. If you were to redefine the reference height such that the total potential energy of the system became zero, how high…arrow_forward
- A couple of soccer balls of equal mass are kicked off the ground at the same speed but at different angles. Soccer ball A is kicked off at an angle slightly above the horizontal, whereas ball B is kicked slightly below the vertical. How do each of the following compare for ball A and ball B? (a) The initial kinetic energy and (b) the change in gravitational potential energy from the ground to the highest point? If the energy in part (a) differs from part (b), explain why there is a difference between the two energies.arrow_forwardAn object whose mass is 10 lb is projected straight upward from the surface of the earth and reaches a height of 100 ft when its velocity reaches zero. The only force acting on the object is the force of gravity. The acceleration of gravity is g = 32.2 ft/s². Determine the initial kinetic energy of the object, in ft·lbf, and the initial velocity of the object, in ft/s.arrow_forwardIn deep space, sphere A of mass 93 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 140 kg is located on the axis at x = 7.2 m. Sphere B is released from rest while sphere A is held at the origin. (a) What is the gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system just as B is released?
