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.

grandymaker [24]

Power = (1000 kilo-Watt-hr/mo) x (1000/kilo) x (mo/30day) x (day/24 hr)

Power = (1000 x 1000 / 30 x 24) (kilo-watt-hr-mo-day/mo-kilo-day-hr)

Power = (1,000,000/720) watt

(voltage x current) = (1,000,000/720) watts

120v x current = (1,000,000/720) watts

Current =  1,000,000 / (720 x 120) Amperes

<em>Current = 11.57 Amperes</em>

If a star has no measurable parallax, what can you infer?.
Lera25 [3.4K]
I am pretty sure that if a star has no measurable parallax it means that it is placed on unreachable distance so that you need a special equipment in order to get closer and measure <span> parallax. The point is that it is placed too deep in space and you are not able to measure it with basic equip.
Hope that helps.

HELP ASAP!!! 100 points!!!!!!!!!
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Shown from explanation.

Explanation:

The resonant frequency is related by the formula;

Fo= 1/2π√(K/M)

Where Fo is resonant frequency

M is mass

K is the spring constant

From the expression above;

When K is increased frequency would increases since frequency is directly proportional to spring constant.

Similarly when the mass is increased the frequency decreases since frequency is inversely proportional to the mass.

Amplitude is a property of a wave and so the frequency stays same.
