$v = \frac{ \:the covered distance}{time} \\$

$v = \frac{600}{25} = \frac{6 \times 100}{25} = 6 \times 4 = 24 \: \\$

$v = 24 \: \frac{m}{s} \\$

_________________________________

If west means the west of the axis x the velocity equal :

$- 24 \: \frac{m}{s} \\$

The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. it is a good approximation to assume tha

Rufina [12.5K]

This assumption is correct. The emissivity of a substance is the ratio of the energy radiated from a body to the energy radiated from a black body (perfect emitter). Because these stars reflect negligible radiation compared to the amount they emit.

After a collision, the y-component of momentum of a car is 4.50 meters/second, and the x-component of its momentum is 9.80 meter

Natalka [10]

The components are at a right angle so the resultant is R^2 = 4.50^2 + 9.80^2 R = 10.78 or 10.8

Hope this helps!!

If a projectile is launched vertically from the Earth with a speed equal to the escape speed, how high above the earth's surface

Alecsey [184]

Answer: h = 3R

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy,

Total energy at the beginning of the launch would be equal to total energy at any point.

kinetic energy + gravitational potential energy = constant

Initial energy of the projectile = $\frac{1}{2}mv_e^2-\frac{GMm}{R}$ ... (1)

where R is the radius of the Earth, M is the mass ofthe Earth, m is the mass of the projectile.

escape velocity, $v_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Total energy at height h above the Earth where speed of the projectile is half the escape velocity:

$\frac{1}{2}m(v_e/2)^2-G\frac{Mm}{R+h}$ ...(2)

(1)=(2)

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}m(v_e/2)^2-G\frac{Mm}{R+h} = \frac{1}{2}mv_e^2-\frac{GMm}{R}$

⇒ $G\frac{Mm}{R}-G\frac{Mm}{R+h}= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{3}{4}v_e^2 =\frac{1}{2}m \frac{3}{4} (\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}})^2$

⇒ $\frac{GM(R+h-R)}{R(R+h)} = \frac{3}{4}(\frac{GM}{R})$

⇒ $\frac{h}{R+h} = \frac{3}{4}$

⇒h = 3R

Thus, at height equal to thrice radius of Earth, the speed of the projectile would reduce to half of escape velocity.
