Answer:

a)r_1=1.36R

b)r_2=2.083R

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

a) when the initial velocity of the projectile is 0.520 times the escape velocity from the earth.

Let r be the radial distance from the earth's surface Let M be the mass of the Earth and R be the radius of the Earth

Now using conservation of Energy at earths surface and at distance r we have

\dfrac{-GMm}{R}+\dfrac{m(0.52V_e)^2}{2}=\dfrac{-GMm}{r_1}\\\dfrac{-GMm}{R}+\dfrac{m\times 0.52^2\times \dfrac{2GM}{R}}{2}=\dfrac{-GMm}{r_1}\\r_2=1.36\ R

b) when the Initial kinetic Energy of the projectile is 0.52 times the Kinetic Energy required to escape the Earth

Conservation of Energy we have

\dfrac{-GMm}{R}+0.52\times KE_{escape}=\dfrac{-GMm}{r_2}\\\dfrac{-GMm}{R}+0.52\times\dfrac{m\times \dfrac{2GM}{R}}{2}=\dfrac{-GMm}{r_2}\\r_2=2.083\ R

Ann [662]

Answer:

a = 8.06 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of this car can be found using the first equation of motion:

v_f = v_i + at\\\\a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

where,

a = acceleration = ?

vf = final speed = 26.8 m/s

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time = 3.323 s

Therefore,

a = \frac{26.8\ m/s-0\ m/s}{3.323\ s}

<u>a = 8.06 m/s²</u>

Describe the differences among ultraviolet waves, visible light waves, and infrared waves. how are these waves alike?
sergeinik [125]
Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). ... The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency.

A ball is dropped from a building taking 3sec to fall to the ground. Calculate:
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

h = 44.1 m

Explanation:

Data:

  • Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = 3 s
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
  • Height (h) = ?

==================================================================

Final Velocity

Use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 29.4 m/s

==================================================================

Height

Use formula:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{g*(t)^{2}}{2}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(3s)^{2}}{2}}

Multiply time squared:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*9s^{2}}{2}}

Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{88.2m}{2}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{h=44.1\ m}

What is the velocity when falling to the ground?

The final velocity is <u>29.4 meters per seconds.</u>

How high is the building?

The height of the building is <u>44.1 meters.</u>
