A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 2.05 104 m/s. What will its speed be wh

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The value is $v = 2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed is $u = 2.05 *10^{4} \ m/s$

Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

$T__{E}} = KE__{i}} + KE__{e}}$

Here $KE_i$ is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * m * u^2$

=> $KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * m * (2.05 *10^{4})^2$

=> $KE_i = 2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J$

And $KE_e$ is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

$KE_e = \frac{1}{2} * m * v_e^2$

Here $v_e$ is the escape velocity from earth which has a value $v_e = 11.2 *10^{3} \ m/s$

=> $KE_e = \frac{1}{2} * m * (11.3 *10^{3})^2$

=> $KE_e = 6.272 *10^{7} \ \ m \ \ J$

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

$KE_p = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

$T__{E}} = KE_p$

$2.101 *10^{8} m + 6.272 *10^{7} m = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

=> $5.4564 *10^{8} = v^2$

=> $v = \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}$

=> $v = 2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s$

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".

how to A golf ball of mass 0.045 kg is hit off the tee at a speed of 45 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 3.5

Alexandra [31]

Answer: a) 12857.1 m/s/s b) 578.6 N

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = mV2 - mV1

V = AT, 45 / .0035 = 12857.1 m/s/s

(b) .045 x 12857.1 = 578.6 N
