Is the term used to describe an object with enough orbital energy to escape earth completely?

1 answer:

5 0

Escape velocity describes its speed. It becomes a satellite instead of falling back to earth because as it falls under Earth’s gravity the Earth has moved so the satellite falls around the planet instead of down to the ground.

How much force acts on one surface of a rectangular bedroom wall that is 2.20 m by 3.20 m when atmosspheric pressure is?

irakobra [83]

We know that pressure is the force applied into a surface, in our case the wall of the room, so then first we will calculate the surface of this wall: S = 2.2 * 3.2 = 7.04 m2 Then we also know the atmospheric pressure in normal conditions is 1 atm. That is the same 1 atm = 101325 Pascals or 101325 N/m2 Now we need to use the formula : P = F/S where P is pressure, F is force and S is surface to calculate the force: F = P * S = 101325 * 7.04 = 713,328 Newtons Conclusion: the force acts on the wall due the air inside the room is 713,328 N

With what minimum speed must you toss a 130 gg ball straight up to just touch the 15-mm-high roof of the gymnasium if you releas

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 0.5114 m/s or 511.4 mm/s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be 'v'.

Given:

Mass of the ball (m) = 130 g = 0.130 kg [ 1 g = 0.001 kg]

Initial height of the ball (h₁) = 1.4 mm = 0.0014 m [ 1 mm = 0.001 m]

Final height of the ball (h₂) = 15 mm = 0.015 m

Now, from conservation of energy principle, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but converted from one form to another.

Here, the kinetic energy of the ball is converted to gravitational potential energy of the ball after reaching the final height.

Change in kinetic energy is given as:

$\Delta KE=\frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2-v_i^2)\\Where\ v_f\to Final\ velocity\\v_i\to Initial\ velocity$

As it just touches the 15 mm high roof, the final velocity will be zero. So,

$v_f=0\ m/s$ .

Now, the change in kinetic energy is equal to:

$\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.130\times v^2\\\\\Delta KE = 0.065v^2$

Change in gravitational potential energy = Final PE - Initial PE

So,

$\Delta U=mg(h_f-h_i)\\\\\Delta U=0.130\times 9.8\times (0.015-0.0014)\\\\\Delta U=0.017\ J$ [ g = 9.8 m/s²]

Now, Change in KE = Change in PE

$0.065v^2=0.017\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{0.017}{0.065}}\\\\v=0.5114\ m/s\\\\1\ m=1000\ mm\\\\So,0.5114\ m=511.4\ mm\\\\\therefore v=511.4\ mm/s$

Therefore, the initial velocity is 0.5114 m/s or 511.4 mm/s

A 30 cm scale has one end broken. The mark at the broken end is 2.6 cm. How would you use it to measure the length of your penci

lidiya [134]

Answer:

the mark of the broken end is 2.6 cm so, we use the scale from the next full mark i.e. 3cm

Explanation:

we now measure the length of the pencil by keeping the 3 cm mark of the scale at it's left end.

The 3 cm value is then subtracted from the scale reading at the right side end of the pencil to obtain the correct length of the pencil. ✏️

(i i ) place the scale in the contact with object along it's length

(2) Your eyes must be exactly in front of the point where the measurements to be taken.

A circuit is set up such that it has a current of 8 A. What would be the new current if the resistance was increased by a factor

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

The relationship between current, voltage and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

The equation can also be rewritten as

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

from which we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, R.

In this problem, the initial current is I = 8 A. Then the resistance is doubled:

R ' = 2R

So the new current is

$I'=\frac{V}{R'}=\frac{V}{2R}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{V}{R})=\frac{I}{2}=4 A$

so the current is halved.
