The gravitational acceleration as function of elevation : At 45° latitude, the gravitational acceleration as a function of elevation z above sea level is given by g = a - bz, where a = 9.807 m/s^2 and b = 3.32 X 10 ^-6 s^-2. Decide the weight of an 80k person at sea level (z=0), in Denver (z=1610m), and on ..

What is the gravitational potential energy of the system : A 50.0-kg shell is shot from cannon at Earth’s surface to a height of 425 m. The system is the shell plus Earth, and the reference level is Earth’s surface. What is the change in the potential energy when the shell falls to a height of 225 m? What is..

What was the initial speed of the bullet : An 8.00-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 9.00-kg block of wood on an air table and is embedded in it. After the collision, the block and bullet slide along the frictionless surface together by a speed of 10.0 cm/s. What was the initial speed of ..

Compute the power produced by the pump : In 35.0 s, a pump delivers 0.550 m3 of oil into barrels on a platform 25.0 m above the pump intake pipe. The density of the oil is 0.820 g/cm3. Compute the work done by the pump. Compute the power produced by the pump.

Monitor global warming is to gauge the average temperature : One way to monitor global warming is to gauge the average temperature of the ocean. Researchers are doing this by measuring the time it takes sound pulses to travel underwater over large distances. At a depth of 1000 m, where ocean temperatures hold ..

Ow far did the boy move his end of the lever : A boy exerts a force of 225 N on a lever to raise a 1.25 x 10 3-N rock a distance of 13 cm. If the efficiency of the lever is 88.7%, how far did the boy move his end of the lever?
