Kinetic energy = 1/2 (mass)*(velocity)^2

ke = 1/2 (1500kg) (17m/s)^2
ke = 216750 kg*m^2/s^2 = 216750 Joules

(sorry, I don't know significant figures. but this is otherwise the correct answer with the right units. hope this helps!! :))

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're blank than a regarding telescope
olganol [36]
Reflecting telescopes are popular because they are more durable than a refracting telescopes.
There is a difference between these two types of telescopes, reflecting telescopes worked by reflecting light, they are also known as reflector and refracting telescopes worked by refracting light and they are also known as reflactor.
Reflecting telescopes also provides a good focus.

A projectile is shot directly away from Earth's surface. Neglect the rotation of the Earth. What multiple of Earth's radius RE g
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

(a) r = 1.062·R_E = \frac{531}{500} R_E

(b) r = \frac{33}{25} R_E

(c) Zero

Explanation:

Here we have escape velocity v_e given by

v_e =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} } and the maximum height given by

\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}

Therefore, when the initial speed is 0.241v_e we have

v = 0.241\times \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} } so that;

v² = 0.058081\times {\frac{2GM}{R_E} }

v² = {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }

\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r} is then

\frac{1}{2} {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}

Which gives

-\frac{0.941919}{R_E} = -\frac{1}{r} or

r = 1.062·R_E

(b) Here we have

K_i = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times v_e^2 = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m  \times \frac{2GM}{R_E} = \frac{0.241mGM}{R_E}

Therefore we put  \frac{0.241GM}{R_E} in the maximum height equation to get

\frac{0.241}{R_E} -\frac{1}{R_E} =-\frac{1}{r}

From which we get

r = 1.32·R_E

(c) The we have the least initial mechanical energy, ME given by

ME = KE - PE

Where the KE = PE required to leave the earth we have

ME = KE - KE = 0

The least initial mechanical energy to leave the earth is zero.
