The Earth's escape speed (the speed you need to get away forever) is about 40,000 kilometers per hour. Escape speed depends on t

he gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping. Based on your understanding of gravity, how will the escape speed from the Moon compare to the escape speed from Earth

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

  • What is escape speed:

The minimum speed that is required for an object to free itself from the gravitational force exerted by a massive object.

The formula of escape speed is

  • v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where

v is escape velocity

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of the body to be escaped from

r is distance from the center of the mass

we can say that,

Escape speed depends on the gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping.

we know that,

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

since, v ∝ g

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

What does a thermostat do if it gets too cool? ____________________________________ 2. what does a thermostat do if it gets too
Jet001 [13]
<span>If the thermostat gets too hot, it will turn off the heat an turn on the air conditioner. If a thermostat gets too cool it will turn on the heat or turn off the cold air. The human body is similar to a thermostat because if people get cold, they get covered in goosebumps, if they get too hot they begin to sweat.</span>

A dart is thrown from 1.50 m high at 10.0 m/s toward a target 1.73 m from the ground. At what angle was the dart thrown?
Triss [41]

Answer:

The angle of projection is 12.26⁰.

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the dart, h₀ = 1.50 m

height above the ground reached by the dart, h₁ = 1.73 m

maximum height reached by the dart, Hm = h₁ - h₀ = 1.73 m - 1.50 m= 0.23 m

velocity of the dart, u = 10 m/s

The maximum height reached by the projectile is calculated as;

H_m = \frac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}

where;

θ is angle of projection

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

H_m = \frac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}\\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{H_m \ \times \ 2g}{u^2} \\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{0.23 \ \times \ 2(9.8)}{10^2} \\\\sin ^2\theta =0.04508\\\\sin \theta = \sqrt{0.04508} \\\\sin \theta = 0.2123\\\\\theta  = sin^{-1}(0.2123)\\\\\theta  = 12.26^0

Therefore, the angle of projection is 12.26⁰.

Please answer ASAP, and please don't joke around and actually do answer my question. I will give you brainliest if you answer it
hammer [34]

Answer:

30 feet

Explanation:

First off, if they are throwing at 12.0 m/s and it takes 2.5 seconds. It will be the act of multiplication.

12 times 2.5 is 30, because 12 times 2 is 24 plus 12 divided by 2 which is 6 so 24 plus 6 is 30.

Solve for the BMI weight 58kg Height 1.61​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

BMI= weight/(height × height)          ; weight in kilogram and height in metter

     = 58kg / (1.61m  × 1.61m )

     = (58/ 2.5921) kg/m^{2}

     = 22.375  kg/m^{2}

     ≈ 22.4 kg/m^{2}
