Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.  
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH 
V^2 = 2GH 
V = âš2GH 
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)  
V = âš 6370
 V = 79.81 m/s

In 1 km races, runner 1 on track 1 (with time 2 min, 28.13 s) appears to be faster than runner 2 on track 2 (2 min, 28.48 s). ho
Murrr4er [49]
We are given with a velocity-distance-time kinematic problem given the different times of two runners and is asked for the difference in distances the runner has ran in the track. we use the formula v= d/t where d is the distance of running, t is time and v is the velocity of the runner. 

First runner, 
v = d/t = 1000 m / (120+28.13s ) = 6.750826976 m/s
Second runner
Using the same velocity we determine d2.
v = d2/t2 = d2 / (120+28.48s) = 6.750826976 m/s ; d2 = 1002.362789

distance of running track is the difference of the two distance achieved by the runners, delta d= d2 - d = 2.362789 m

Certain neutron stars (extremely dense stars) are believed to be rotating at about 1000 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 14
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

minimum mass of the neutron star = 1.624 × 10^30 kg

Explanation:

For  a material to remain on the surface of a rapidly rotating neuron star, the magnitude oĺf the gravitational acceleration on the material must be equal to the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the rotating neuron star.

This can be represented by the explanations in the attached document.

minimum mass of the neutron star = 1.624 × 10^30 kg

An object is 30.0 cm to the left of a convex lens with a focal length of +8.0 cm. Draw a ray diagram of the setup showing the lo
Ostrovityanka [42]
The distance should be 11 cm and the image will be inverted (and smaller)
I used the Lens Equation:
\frac{1}{obj.}+ \frac{1}{im.}  = \frac{1}{f}
Where:
obj. is the distance of the object
im. is the distance of the image
f is the focal length
