A proposed space elevator would consist of a cable stretching from the earth's surface to a satellite, orbiting far in space, th
NISA [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. Here we will use the conservation between the potential gravitational energy and the kinetic energy to determine the velocity of this escape. The gravitational potential energy can be expressed as,

PE= \frac{GMm}{d}

The kinetic energy can be written as,

KE= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where,

G = 6.67*10^{-11}m^3/kg\cdot s^2Gravitational Universal Constant

m = 5.972*10^{24}kg Mass of Earth

h = 56*10^6m  Height

r = 6.378*10^6m Radius of Earth

From the conservation of energy:

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{GMm}{d}

Rearranging to find the velocity,

v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{d}} \rightarrow  Escape velocity at a certain height from the earth

If the height of the satellite from the earth is h, then the total distance would be the radius of the earth and the eight,

d = r+h

v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{r+h}}

Replacing the values we have that

v = \frac{2(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{6.378*10^6+56*10^6}

v = 3.6km/s

Therefore the escape velocity is 3.6km/s

A 16 Ω resistor and a 6 Ω resistor are connected in series to an ideal 6 V battery.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) series resistors carry the same current

A = V/Re = 6/(16 + 6) = 0.2727272... ≈ 27 mA

b) V = V₀(R/Re) = 6(16/(16 + 6)) = 4.363636 ≈ 4.4 V

c) V = V₀(R/Re) = 6(6/(16 + 6)) = 1.636363 ≈ 1.6 V

 or V = 6 - 4.4 = 1.6 V

A(n) 71.1 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 70.2 m away from the shuttle
denpristay [2]

Answer:

10.347 minutes.

Explanation:

According to F = ma, she exerts force on camera of the magnitude

F = 0.67Kg*12m/s^{2} = 8.04N, assuming it took her one second to accelerate camera to 12m/s, then by newtons third law, which says every action has equal and opposite reaction , the camera exerts the same amount of force on the astronaut which gives her acceleration of a = \frac{8.04N}{70.2Kg} = 0.1130801680m/s^2.

and velocity of V = 0.1130801680m/s.

at this velocity , the astronaut has to cover the distance of 70.2 meters, it will take her 620.7985075s = 10.347 min to get to the shuttle (using S = vt).
