The escape velocity of a rocket from the earth is 11kms^-1. Taking the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8ms^-2, calculate the ra

Answer:

6.37*10^6 m

Explanation:

We know that,

g = GM/R²

values given to us

acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Mass of the earth is= 6.4*10^24

G = 6.67*10^{-11}

implementing

9.8 = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24/R^2

9.8 = 40.02 * 10^13/ R^2

R^2 = 4002/98 * 10^12

R^2 = 40.83* 10^12

R= 6.37*10^6 m   (approximately)

The answer and how to do it
Arturiano [62]
Current = charge per second
2 Coulombs per second = 2 Amperes

Potential difference = (current)x(resistance) in volts.

That's (2 Amperes) x (2 ohms).

That's how to do it.
I think you can find the answer now.

Driving along a boring stretch of interstate in Illinois, you start experimenting using the average speed equation you learned i
astra-53 [7]
The average speed would be 33.29m/s.
The average speed equation is:

Average speed =  \frac{total distance}{total time}

First you will need to solve for the distance you traveled in each scenario. So we can solve this by getting the product of speed and the time traveled. 

Scenario 1:
Speed = 29m/s
Time = 120s
Distance = ?

Distance = (29m/s)(120s)
               = 3,480m

Scenario 2
Speed = 35m/s
Time = 300s
Distance = ? 

Distance = (35m/s)(300s)
               = 10,500m

Now that you have the distance of both, you can solve for your average speed. 

Average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}
                                = \frac{3,480m+10,500m}{120s+300s}
                                = \frac{13,980m}{420s}
                                = 33.29m/s

A ball rolls horizontally off a table and a height of 1.4 m with a speed of 4 m/s. How long does it take the ball to reach the g
Hitman42 [59]

For vertical motion, use the following kinematics equation:

H(t) = X + Vt + 0.5At²

H(t) is the height of the ball at any point in time t for t ≥ 0s

X is the initial height

V is the initial vertical velocity

A is the constant vertical acceleration

Given values:

X = 1.4m

V = 0m/s (starting from free fall)

A = -9.81m/s² (downward acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface)

Plug in these values to get H(t):

H(t) = 1.4 + 0t - 4.905t²

H(t) = 1.4 - 4.905t²

We want to calculate when the ball hits the ground, i.e. find a time t when H(t) = 0m, so let us substitute H(t) = 0 into the equation and solve for t:

1.4 - 4.905t² = 0

4.905t² = 1.4

t² = 0.2854

t = ±0.5342s

Reject t = -0.5342s because this doesn't make sense within the context of the problem (we only let t ≥ 0s for the ball's motion H(t))

t = 0.53s
