One of your summer lunar space camp activities is to launch a 1090 kg rocket from the surface of the Moon. You are a serious spa

ce camper and you launch a serious rocket: it reaches an altitude of 211 km . What gain Δ???? in gravitational potential energy does the launch accomplish? The mass and radius of the Moon are 7.36×1022 kg and 1740 km, respectively.

Answer:

ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon:

g = GM/R²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of moon = 7.36 x 10²² kg

R = Radius of Moon = 1740 km = 1.74 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

g = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(7.36 x 10²² kg)/(1.74 x 10⁶ m)²

g = 2.82 m/s²

now the change in gravitational potential energy of rocket is calculated by:

ΔP.E = mgΔh

where,

ΔP.E = Change in Gravitational Potential Energy = ?

m = mass of rocket = 1090 kg

Δh = altitude = 211 km = 2.11 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

ΔP.E = (1090 kg)(2.82 m/s²)(2.11 x 10⁵ m)

<u>ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J</u>

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Vmax=11.53 m/s

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

$E_A} =E_{B}$

Spring potential energy =potential energy due to elevation

0.5*k*x²= mg $(h_{B}-h_{A} )$ =mgh

0.5*k*2.3²= 430*9.81*6

k=9568.92 N/m

For safety reason

k"=1.13 *k= 1.13*9568.92

k"=10812.88 N/m

agsin from conservation of energy

$E_A} =E_{C}$

spring potential energy=change in kinetic energy

0.5*k"*x²=0.5*m* $V_{max}^{2}$

10812.88 *2.3²=430* $V_{max}^{2}$

$V_{max}$ =11.53 m/s

4) Write down the transformation of energy in torch light.<br>

Elenna [48]

Answer:

<u>The transformation of energy in a torch light is as follows:</u>

1) When the torch is turned ON, the chemical energy in the batteries is converted into electrical energy.

2) The electrical energy is converted into heat and light energy. (We feel the torch to be hot after some time and we can see the light energy)

Hope this helped!
