(b) How far from the surface will a particle go if it leaves the asteroid's surface with a radial speed of 1510 m/s? (c) With wh
makvit [3.9K]

Answers:

(a) 2509.98 m/s

(b) 397042.215 m

(c) 1917.76 m/s

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, please remember to write the whole question :) However, part (a) is written below:

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 700 km  and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface is a_{g}=4.5 m/s^{2}

Knowing this, let's begin:

a) In this part we need to find the escape speed V_{e} on the asteroid:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} (1)

Where:

G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of the asteroid

R=700 km=700(10)^{3} m is the radius of the asteroid

On the other hand we know the gravitational acceleration is a_{g}=4.5 m/s^{2}, which is given by:

a_{g}=\frac{GM}{R^{2}} (2)

Isolating GM:

GM=a_{g}R^{2} (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2a_{g}R^{2}}{R}}=\sqrt{2a_{g}R} (4)

V_{e}=\sqrt{2(4.5 m/s^{2})(700(10)^{3} m)} (5)

V_{e}=2509.98 m/s (6) This is the escape velocity

b) In this part we will use the Conservation of mechanical energy principle:

E_{o}=E_{f} (7)

Being:

E_{o}=K_{o}+U_{o}=\frac{1}{2}m V^{2} - \frac{GMm}{R} (8)

E_{f}=K_{f}+U_{f}=0 - \frac{GMm}{R+h} (9)

Where:

E_{o} is the initial mechanical energy

E_{f} is the final mechanical energy

K_{o} is the initial kinetic energy

K_{f}=0 is the final kinetic energy

U_{o} is the initial gravitational potential energy

U_{f} is the final gravitational potential energy

m is the mass of the object

V=1510 m/s is the radial speed of the object

h is the distance above the surface of the object

Then:

\frac{1}{2}m V^{2} - \frac{GMm}{R}=- \frac{GMm}{R+h} (10)

Isolating h:

h=\frac{2 a_{g} R^{2}}{2a_{g}R-V^{2}}-R (11)

h=\frac{2 (4.5 m/s^{2}) (700(10)^{3} m)^{2}}{2(4.5 m/s^{2})(700(10)^{3} m)-(1510 m/s)^{2}}-700(10)^{3} m (11)

h=397042.215 m (12) This is the distance above the asteroid's surface

c) We will use the Conservation of mechanical energy principle again, but now the condition is that the object is dropped at a distance h=981.8 km=981.8(10)^{3} m. This means that at the begining the object only has gravitational potential energy and then it has kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy:

\frac{-GMm}{R+h}=\frac{-GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mV^{2} (13)

Isolating V:

V=\sqrt{2a_{g} R(1-\frac{R}{R+h})} (14)

V=\sqrt{2(4.5 m/s^{2}) (700(10)^{3} m)(1-\frac{700(10)^{3} m}{700(10)^{3} m+981.8(10)^{3} m})} (15)

Finally:

V=1917.76 m/s

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Electric field at a distance of 1.45 cm will be 172.41\times 10^4N/C

Explanation:

We have given the distance d = 1.45 cm = 0.0145 m

And the potential difference V=2.5\times 10^4volt

There is a relation between potential difference and electric field

Electric field at a distance d due to a potential difference is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}, here E is electric field, V is potential difference and d is distance

So E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{2.5\times 10^4}{0.0145}=172.41\times 10^4N/C

What is the frequency of blue light that has a wavelength of 446 nm?
Maslowich
When I went through with the math, the answer I came upon was: 
<span>6.67 X 10^14 </span>

<span>Here is how I did it: First of all we need to know the equation. </span>

<span>c=nu X lamda </span>
<span>(speed of light) = (frequency)(wavelength) </span>
<span>(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(450nm) </span>

<span>We want the answer in meters so we need to convert 450nm to meters. </span>
<span>450nm= 4.5 X 10^ -7 m </span>
<span>(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(4.5 X 10^ -7 m) </span>

<span>Divide the speed of light by the wavelength. </span>
<span>(3.0 X 10^8m/s) / (4.5 X 10^ -7m) =6.67 X 10^ 14 per second or s- </span>

<span>Answer: 6.67 X 10^14 s- hope this helps</span>

1. The picture below shows Jamal pushing with a 100-Newton (N) force on a large box. Neither
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

100 newtons

Explanation:

Given,

Jamal pushing a large box by a force, F = 100 N

Work done on the large box is, W = 0

It is because the applied force is less than the force of the friction between the two surfaces.

Yet, there will be a force that is exerted by the large box on Jamal.

According to newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction force is in the direction opposite to the force of action. But, their magnitude remains the same.

                                        F_{a} =-F_{r}

Hence, If the action force is 100 N, then the reaction force should be in 100 N
