If earth had no atmosphere, would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity?

No, because terminal velocity is when the acceleration of the Earth’s gravity is balanced by the air resistance of the atmosphere.

Answer:

X = 2146.05 m

Explanation:

We need to understand first what is the value we need to calculate here. In this case, we want to know how far from the starting point the package should be released. This is the distance.

We also know that the plane is flying a certain height with an specific speed. And the distance we need to calculate is the distance in X with the following expression:

X = Vt   (1)

However we do not know the time that this distance is covered. This time can be determined because we know the height of the plain. This time is referred to the time of flight. And the time of flight can be calculated with the following expression:

t = √2h/g   (2)

Where g is gravity acceleration which is 9.8 m/s². Replacing the data into the expression we have:

t = √(2*2500)/9.8

t = 22.59 s

Now replacing into (1) we have:

X = 95 * 22.59

<h2>X = 2146.05 m</h2>

This is the distance where the package should be released.

Hope this helps

A 0.2 kg block sliding on a horizontal table slows down from 25 m/s to 20 m/s. How much energy does the block lose due to fricti
Papessa [141]

Answer:

the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

initial velocity of the block, u = 25 m/s

final velocity of the block, v = 20 m/s

The kinetic energy lost due to friction is calculated as;

\Delta K.E= K.E_f - K.E_i\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -  \frac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}m(v^2 -u^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2} \times 0.2 (20^2 - 25^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= -22.5 \ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Ashkon throws a basketball across the court to his teammate. The ball has 57 J of potential energy and 61 J of kinetic energy. W
Gwar [14]
The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:
E=U+K=57 J+61 J=118 J
so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.
