It went where mgb said it went. The energy was transferred to the atoms, stretching their bonds. But when there is no oppsosing force agaisnt the bonds then they retract to their original length releasing energy into the air that we perceive as heat.
I understand that friction is the force that opposes motion and that rubbing two objects togethere generate heat. But what is the cause of this release of energy?
But since acceleration due to gravity increases as the distance between the two objects decreases, you can't use PE=massxgravityxheight since the acceleration is constantly changing for a given height. or does that not matter? I worked it out and i got that an object of mass one kilogram...
I need to be able to calculate the final velocity of an object accelerating towards a mass from a distnce with an initial velocity. From my little knowledge of calculus, I am only a junior in high school, i have figured out that this is probably a derivitive problem. But i have no knowledge of...
Does anyone know the equation for the Force of Gravity in terms of density? I have been trying to plug in the equatin for the density of a sphere into Newtons Gravity formula and keep hitting dead ends. And if you can show me the math and reasoning behind it please.
