Answer:

1.78 km/s

Explanation:

radius, R = 545 km = 545000 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 2.9 m/s²

The formula for the escape velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{2gR}

v=\sqrt{2\times 545000\times 2.9}

v = 1777.92 m/s

v = 1.78 km/s

Thus, the escape velocity on the surface of asteroid is 1.78 km/s.

Answer:

1777.92 m/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of asteroid = 545 km

M = Mass of planet

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2.9 m/s²

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{gR^2}{G}

The expression of escape velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2G}{R}\dfrac{gR^2}{G}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gR}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2.9\times 545000}\\\Rightarrow v=1777.92\ m/s

The escape speed is 1777.92 m/s

Scrat [10]

Answer:

0.02

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

force of friction = Ff

Normal Force = FN, but

FN = -W

Ff = -μFN

so μ = Ff/FN

= 4N/200N

= 0.02.

A hopper jumps straight up to a height of 1.1 m. With what velocity did it leave the floor?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

4.64m/s

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ v = √2gh ] to solve for this problem. We know that g is constant acceleration (9.8), and h is height (1.1).

v = √2(9.8)(1.1)

v ≈ 4.64m/s

Best of Luck!
