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

at would keep the cable taut. A motorized climber could slowly carry rockets to the top, where they could be launched away from the earth using much less energy.
What would be the escape speed for a craft launched from a space elevator at a height of 56,000 km?

Answer:

The escape speed for the craft is 1.49 m/s.

Explanation:

In this case we need to find the escape speed for a craft launched from a space elevator at a height of 56,000 km. The escape velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{d}}

Here,

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of earth

d = r + h, r is radius of Earth

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{(6,371 \times 10^3\times 56000\times 10^3)}}\\\\v=1.49\ m/s

So, the escape speed for the craft is 1.49 m/s.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that half life of an element is

T=0.693/λ

where λ is decay constant in order to find decay constant

λ=0.693/T

λ=0.693/8.04

λ=0.086

A basketball is tossed up at an initial speed of 20 m/s.
qwelly [4]

Gravity slows the upward speed of any rising object by 9.8 m/s every second.

If the ball is tossed upward at 20 m/s, then it's at the top of its arc and its speed has dwindled to zero in (20/9.8) = 2.04 seconds.

During that time, its starting speed is 20 m/s and its ending speed is zero, so its AVERAGE speed all the way up is (1/2) (20 + 0)  =  10 m/s .

Sailing upward for 2.04 seconds at an average speed of 10 m/s, the ball rises to (2.04 x 10)  =  <em>20.4 meters.</em>
