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.

Jane has a mass of 55 kg and his body covers 700 nails with a surface area of 1.00 mm,
Oksana_A [137]

We have,

  • Jane mass is 55 kg
  • His body covered with 700 nails all of them having a surface area of 1.00 mm² each = 700 × 1 = 700 mm² = 700/1000000 = 7/10000

We know that,

  • Pressure = Force/Area

Let's calculate force as we already have area;

  • F = ma
  • F = 55 × 9.8 { Acceleration due to gravity }
  • F = 539 N

Now, if should she would be on 700 nails then pressure will be;

  • P = F/A
  • P = 539/7 × 10000
  • P = 5390000/7
  • P = 770,000 Pascal

And if should would be on a 1 nail only,

  • P = F/A
  • P = 539/1 × 1000000
  • P = 539000000 Pascal

How does sound travel?
Doss [256]

Answer:

Sound vibrations travel in a wave pattern, and we call these vibrations sound waves. Sound waves move by vibrating objects and these objects vibrate other surrounding objects, carrying the sound along. ... Sound can move through the air, water, or solids, as long as there are particles to bounce off of.
