Venus is called Earth's "Twin" because Earth and Venus have almost the same mass, size, similar composition and they are neighboring planets. Some of most notable differences though between the two planets are their color, temperature, Earth's ability to support life and their atmosphere. Venus' atmosphere is about 100x thicker than Earth's, Earth can support life while Venus can not because Earth has water and plant life and Earth is a bright blue and green while Venus is more orange and red.
The only common property is that both of those things are comprised of H2O.
Answer:
Vi = 24.14 m/s
Explanation:
If we apply Law of Conservation of Energy or Work-Energy Principle here, we get: (neglecting friction)
Loss in K.E of the Rock = Gain in P.E of the Rock
(1/2)(m)(Vi² - Vf²) = mgh
Vi² - Vf² = 2gh
Vi² = Vf² + 2gh
Vi = √(Vf² + 2gh)
where,
Vi = Rock's Speed as it left the ground = ?
Vf = Final Speed = 17 m/s
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = height of rock = 15 m
Therefore,
Vi = √[(17 m/s)² + 2(9.8 m/s²)(15 m)]
Vi = √583 m²/s²
<u>Vi = 24.14 m/s</u>
