Of course. Wind is air in motion, and the gases in air are composed of
all the usual familiar stuff ... atoms, molecules, mass, etc. That's how
the wind moves things ... it has momentum and kinetic energy, which
get transferred to the things that move in the wind.</span>
Answer: 
Explanation:
We can solve this with the Law of Universal Gravitation and knowing the acceleration due gravity 
of an object above the surface of the planet decreases with the distance (height) of this object from the center of the planet.
Well, according to the law of universal gravitation:
(1)
Where:
is the module of the force exerted between both bodies
is the gravitational constant
is the mass of the Earth
are the mass of each communications satellite
is the distance between the center of the Earth and the satellite
is the radius of the Earth
is the height of the satellite, measured from the Earth's surface
On the other hand, we know according to <u>Newton's 2nd law of motion:</u>
(2)
Combining (1) and (2):
(3)
Isolating :
(4)
Remembering :
(5)
Finally:
m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²
h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved = 8 m
W = Work done in lifting the object
Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence
Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator
W = m g h
inserting the values
W = (136) (9.8) (8)
W = 10662.4 J
Answer:
Explanation:
a) Energy stored in spring = 1/2 k x² = .5 x k 0.1²
500 = 5 x 10⁻³ k ,
k = (500/5) x 10³ = 10⁵ N/m
b )
k = 4.5 x 10¹ = 45 N/m
Stored energy = 1/2 k x² = .5 x 45 x 8² x 10⁻⁴ =1440 x 10⁻⁴ J
This energy gets dissipated by friction .
work done by friction = μ mg d
d is the distance traveled under friction
so 1440 x 10⁻⁴ = μ x 3 x 9.8 x 2
μ = 245 x 10⁻⁴ or 0.00245 which appears to be very small. .
