The radius of Venus (from the center to just above the atmosphere) is 6050 km (6050✕103 m), and its mass is 4.9✕1024 kg. An obje

ct is launched straight up from just above the atmosphere of Venus. (a) What initial speed is needed so that when the object is far from Venus its final speed is 8000 m/s? vinitial = m/s (b) What initial speed is needed so that when the object is far from Venus its final speed is 0 m/s? (This is called the "escape speed.") vescape = m/s

Answer:

(a) The initial speed required is 13116 m/s

(b) The escape speed is 10394 m/s

This problem involves the application of newtons laws of gravitation. The forces in action here are conservative and as a result mechanical energy is conserved.

The full calculation can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

In both parts (a) and (b) the energy conservation equation were used. Assumption was made that when the object is very far from the planet the distance from the planet's center approaches infinity and the gravitational potential energy approaches zero.

The calculation can be found below.

An object on earth weighs 120 N. What is it’s mass ?
inna [77]
Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

120 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Mass = (120 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

Mass = 12.24 kg  (B)

The speed of light inside a medium is (2.0 x 10^8m/s) What is the index of refraction (n) of the medium?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Refractive index of a medium = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in a medium

1.5 = 3 x 108 / Speed of light in medium

Speed of light in the medium = 3 x 108 /1.5

= 2 x 108 m/s.

A 120-V rms voltage at 1000 Hz is applied to an inductor, a 2.00-μF capacitor and a 100-Ω resistor, all in series. If the rms va
natima [27]

Answer:

The inductance of the inductor is 35.8 mH

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 120-V

Frequency = 1000 Hz

Capacitor C= 2.00\mu F

Current = 0.680 A

We need to calculate the inductance of the inductor

Using formula of current

I = \dfrac{V}{Z}

Z=\sqrt{R^2+(L\omega-\dfrac{1}{C\omega})^2}

Put the value of Z into the formula

I=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{R^2+(L\omega-\dfrac{1}{C\omega})^2}}

Put the value into the formula

0.680=\dfrac{120}{\sqrt{(100)^2+(L\times2\pi\times1000-\dfrac{1}{2\times10^{-6}\times2\pi\times1000})^2}}

L=35.8\ mH

Hence, The inductance of the inductor is 35.8 mH
