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.

Sam, whose mass is 75 kg , takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 160 N and a coefficien
Volgvan

Answer:

top speed = 17.25

Total height = 281.19 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 75 kg

thrust = 160 N

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.1

solution

we get here frictional force acting that is

frictional force = \mu *m*g   .............1

frictional force = 0.1 × 75 × 9.8

frictional force = 73.5 N

and

Net force acting will be F = 160 - 73.5  N

F = 86.5 N

so

Acceleration in the First 15 second  will be

F = ma .........2

86.5 = 75 × a

a = 1.15 m/s²

and

now After 15 second the velocity will be  as

v = u + at   ..........3

here u is 0

so v will be

V = 1.15 × 15

v = 17.25

and

now we get travels distance S  in 15 s

s = u × t + 0.5 × a × t²  

here u is 0

so distance s will be

s = 0.5 × a × t²  

s = 0.5 ×  1.15 × 15²  

s = 129.37 m

and

now  acceleration acting is

F =  \mu *m*g  

m a =  \mu *m*g

a = \mu* g

a = - 0.98

here it is negative it mean downward nature of acceleration

and

now we get distance s by this formula

V² - u² = 2 a s    

here v velocity is 0  and

u initial velocity is 17.25 m/s

put here value

0 - 17.25² = 2 × (-0.98) × s    

solve it we get

s = 151.82 m

so

Total height is

Total height = 129.37 m + 151.82 m

Total height = 281.19 m

Potential difference of a battery is 2.2 V when it is connected
Alchen [17]

Answer:

1.1ohms

Explanation:

According to ohms law E = IR

If potential difference of a battery is 2.2 V when it is connected across a resistance of 5 ohm and if suddenly the voltage Falls to 1.8V then the current in the 5ohms resistor I = V/R = 1.8/5

I = 0.36A (This will be the load current).

Before we can calculate the value of the internal resistance, we need to know the voltage drop across the internal resistance.

Voltage drop = 2.2V - 1.8V = 0.4V

Then we calculate the internal resistance using ohms law.

According to the law, V = Ir

V= voltage drop

I is the load current

r = internal resistance

0.4 = 0.36r

r = 0.4/0.36

r = 1.1 ohms

what is the pressure exerted, what is the pressure exerted by 50kg girl as she places her weight on one shoe if the heels area i
lana [24]

Answer:

The pressure exerted by the girl is 245,000 N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the girl, m = 50 kg

area of the girl's shoe, A = 0.002 m²

The pressure exerted by the girl is calculated as follows;

P = \frac{F}{A} \\\\Where;\\F \ is \ the \ force \ exerted \ by \ girl's \ weight\\\\P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{mg}{A} = \frac{50 \times 9.8}{0.002} = 245,000 \ N/m^2

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the girl is 245,000 N/m²
