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.

In a given chemical reaction, the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. Which statement is true fo
Flura [38]

Energy is released in the reaction

Explanation:

In a given where the energy of the products is greater than that of the reactants, we can infer that energy is released in the reaction.

This indicates that the reaction is an exothermic or exergonic reaction.

These reaction types are accompanied by release of energy.

  • In an exothermic change energy is released to the surroundings.
  • The surrounding becomes hotter at the end of the change.
  • This applies in exergonic reaction which leaves a reaction having more energy than it originally started with.

When you let the air go out of a balloon the balloon moves or shoots like a rocket. Would this happen if there was no surroundin
Pie

Answer:

The balloon would still move like a rocket

Explanation:

The principle of work of this system is the Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action), object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this problem, we can identify the balloon as object A and the air inside the balloon as object B. As the air goes out from the balloon, the balloon exerts a force (backward) on the air, and as a result of Newton's 3rd law, the air exerts an equal and opposite force (forward) on the balloon, making it moving forward.

This mechanism is not affected by the presence or absence of surrounding air: in fact, this mechanism also works in free space, where there is no air (and in fact, rockets also moves in space using this system, despite the absence of air).

When an unbalanced force acts on an object,
Gwar [14]
When balanced forces follow up on an object, the object won't move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.
