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

A force does 30000 J of work along a distance of 9.5m. Find the applied force.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: F=3158N

Explanation:

Work is the product of force applied and the distance the object moves along the force applied. Work is measured in joules and the equation is as follows

W = F x d

So that F = W/d

F = 30000 J / 9.5m

F = ~3158 N

A bottle rocket takes off with a = 34.5 m/s2. It
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:3.4 seconds

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u)=0

acceleration=34.5m/s^2

Height(h)=200m

Time =t

h=u x t - (gxt^2)/2

200=0xt+(34.5xt^2)/2

200=34.5t^2/2

Cross multiply

200x2=34.5t^2

400=34.5t^2

Divide both sides by 34.5

400/34.5=34.5t^2/34.5

11.59=t^2

t^2=11.59

Take them square root of both sides

t=√(11.59)

t=3.4 seconds
