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

Followed by the previous question: presume that the electron performs a uniform circular motion around the hydrogen nucleus. Wha
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

r=5\times 10^{-11}

T=1.5 \times 10^{-16}

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically given as

Velocity (v)=\frac{2 \pi r}{t}

V=\frac{2 \pi (5*10^{-11})}{1.5*10^{-16}}

V=\frac{2 \pi (5*10^{-11})}{1.5*10^{-16}}

Generally the equation for Centripetal acceleration is mathematically given as

A_c=\frac{V^2}{r}

A_c=(\frac{20.944*10^5)}{r5*10^{-11}}

A_c=87.73*10^{21}m/s

The whole body metabolic rate of a bottlenose dolphin is 8000kcalsday. The dolphin weighs 190kg. What is the mass specific metab
Komok [63]

Answer: 42.1

Explanation:

Mass specific metabolic rate of a dolphin can be defined as the rate at which the dolphin consume energy per unit mass of body weight.

R = E/M

Where R = mass specific metabolic rate

E = Energy consumption = 8000kcalsday

M = mass = 190kg

R = 8000kcalsday/190kg

R = 42.1

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

22Ω

Explanation:

if    V ⇒ voltage

      I ⇒ current

      R ⇒ resistance

V = IR

220 = 10 x R

220 / 10 = R

22 = R

A net force of 20 N acting on a wooden block produces an
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From the second law of motion:

F = ma

we are given that the force applied on the block is 20N and the block accelerates at an acceleration of 4 m/s/s

So, F=  20N   and  a = 4 m/s/s

Replacing the variables in the equation:

20 = 4* m

m = 20 / 4

m = 5 kg
