<span>2002 seconds, or 33 minutes, 22 seconds. First, let's calculate how many joules it will take to lift 78 kg against gravity for 1100 meters. So: 78 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1100 m = 840840 kg*m^2/s^2 Now a watt is defined as kg*m^2/s^3, so a division of the required joules should give us a convenient value of seconds. So: 840840 kg*m^2/s^2 / 420 kg*m^2/s^3 = 2002 seconds. And 2002 seconds is the same as 33 minutes, 22 seconds.</span>

To introduce you to the concept of escape velocity for a rocket. the escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with whi
Mama L [17]
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R) 

This is the expression for escape velocity.

lasie4. A 4 kg object is displaced to the right by a distance of 12 m underthe influence of the following forces: a 17 Nforce pu
Oksanka [162]

The work done by a constant force in a rectilinear motion is given by:

W=Fd\cos\theta

where F is the magnitude of the force, d is the distance and θ is the angle between the force and the displacement vector.

In this case we have two forces then we need to add the work done by each of them; for the first force we have a magnitude of 17 N, a displacement of 12 m and and angle of 0° (since both the displacement and the force point right); for the second force we have a magnitude of 36 N, a displacement of 12 m and an angle of 30°. Plugging these values we have that the total work is:

\begin{gathered} W=(17)(12)\cos0+(36)(12)\cos30 \\ W=578.123 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the total work done is 578.123 J and the answer is option E

5. What is the density of 4.5 mL of a liquid that has a mass of 1.3 grams?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. 0.289g/mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for density which is d = m/v  or density = mass/volume, we input 1.3g/4.5mL and get 0.289g/mL.
