Kinematics

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Textbook Question

Chapter 9, Problem 53EAP

53. The gravitational attraction between two objects with masses m₁and m₂, separated by distance x, is F = Gm₁m₂/x², where G is the gravitational constant.

How much work is done by gravity when the separation changes from x₁to x₂? Assume x₂< x₁.

If one mass is much greater than the other, the larger mass stays essentially at rest while the smaller mass moves toward it. Suppose a 1.5 × 10¹³ kg comet is passing the orbit of Mars, heading straight for the sun at a speed of 3.5 × 10⁴m/s. what will its speed be when it crosses the orbit of Mercury? Astronomical data are given in the tables at the back of the book, and G = 6.67 × 10-11 N m²/kg²
