a) Show (and explain) how you would find the potential energy of a small mass placed a distance D away from the center of a disk of mass M and along radius A along its central axis.

b) Show how you would use this to find the final kinetic energy of the small mass m if it fell from rest at distance D to a distance D/2.

From this week's lab you learned that the change in gravitational potential energy of a falling body can be captured and stored as a rotational kinetic energy of a spinning disk. This gave you the idea of a regenerative driver for an elevator in a tall building. When an elevator goes down the corresponding change in the gravitational potential energy of the elevator is transformed into the rotational kinetic energy of a solid disk-shape flywheel which can be extracted and...

Three small balls of mass 3.6 kg, 2.4 kg, and 3.9 kg are connected by light rods laying along the y-axis. The rod connecting the first and second balls is 4.8 m long and the rod connecting the second and third balls is 2 m. The entire system rotates around the x-axis, which is between the first and second balls and a distance 2.9 m from the first ball, at a rotational speed 2.6 s-1. (a)What is the distance of...

To learn to use conservation of energy with the Newtonian form for gravitational potential energy. Planet X, a planet with no atmosphere, has a radius of 5.00×106 m and an unknown mass. You drop an object from rest from a distance of 400 km above the surface and find that it has a speed of 3010 m/s just before it hits the ground. Solve for the mass of planet X.

In this example, we find the work needed to create a dipole by bringing in two point charges of mass m = 0.006 kg ; and opposite charge Q = 6 nC, from infinity, to within a distance d = 18 nm of one another. Gravity should be ignored. a) Find the potential energy between the two point charges when they are an infinite distance away from one another.     b) Find the electrostatic energy between the two charges when...
