Answer:

The answer is $v = \sqrt{2G\frac{M_s}{R^2}(R-r_s)}$ .

Explanation:

From the law of gravity,

$F = G \frac{Mm}{r^2}$

considering F as a conservative force, $F = - \nabla U$ ,

the general expression for gravitational potential energy is

$U = -G \frac{Mm}{r}$ ,

where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the mass of the attracting bodies, and r is the distance between their centers. The negative sign is because the force approaches zero for large distances, and we choose the zero of gravitational potential energy at an infinite distance away.

However, as the mass of the Sun is much greater than the mass of the rock, the gravitational acceleration is defined as

$g = -G \frac{M}{r^2}$ ,

(the negative sign indicates that the force is an attractive force), and the potential energy between the rock and the Sun is

$U = g M_e R$ ,

which is actually the total energy of the system, because the rock materializes stationary at this point (there is no radial kinetic energy).

When the rock hits the surface of the Sun, almost all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, but not all because the Sun is not a puntual mass. So the potential energy converted to kinetic energy is

$U_p = g M_e(R- r_s)$ ,

then, the kinetik energy when the rock hits the surface is

$U_k =\frac{1}{2}M_e v^2 = g M_e(R- r_s)$ ,

$v = \sqrt{2g(R-r_s)}$

where g is the gravitational acceleration generated by the Sun at R,

$g = G \frac{M_s}{R^2}$ .

How can understanding velocity help to prevent a mid-air collision

dsp73

Answer:

To maintain enough time to prevent a collision, a system operating in air traffic where aircraft speed does not

fall below 100 km/h (most medium-sized UAVs and GA aircraft) will need to be able to detect obstacles which

subtend an arc-width of as small as 0.125 mra

A stone is dropped from a tower 100 meters above the ground. The stone falls past ground level and into a well. It hits the wate

lilavasa [31]

Take the stone's position at ground level to be the origin, and the downward direction to be negative. Then its position in the air $y$ at time $t$ is given by

$y=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2$

Let $d$ be the depth of the well. The stone hits the bottom of the well after 5.00 s, so that

$-d=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2(5.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies d=\boxed{22.6\,\mathrm m}$
