The radius of Mars (from the center to just above the atmosphere) is 3400 km (3400 × 103 m), and its mass is 6 × 1023 kg. An obj

ect is launched straight up from just above the atmosphere of Mars.
a) What initial speed is needed so that when the object is far from Mars its final speed is 3000 m/s? vinitial = _________ m/s

b) What initial speed is needed so that when the object is far from Mars its final speed is 0 m/s? (This is called the "escape speed.") vescape = ______ m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy at the surface

= -GMm / R

= -6.6 x 10⁻¹¹ x 6 x 10²³ m / 3400 x 10³

= -1.1647 x 10⁷ m

If v be required velocity

Total energy at surface

= 1/2 m v²   -1.1647 x 10⁷ m

= energy at farr off = 1/2 m x 3000²

1/2 m v² -  -1.1647 x 10⁷ m = 1/2 m x 9 x 10⁶

1/2 v²= 1.1647 x 10⁷ + .45 x 10⁷

= 1.6147 x 10⁷

v² = 2.3303 x 10⁷

v = 4.827 x 10³ m / s

b ) For final speed zero at infinity

1/2 m v² -  -1.1647 x 10⁷ m = 0

1/2 v² = 1.1647 x 10⁷

v² = 2.3294 x 10⁷

v = 4.826 x 10³ m /s

A spring has a spring constant of 113 N/m . How much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring when it is compressed by 0
andrezito [222]

Answer:

= 1.7 Joules

Explanation:

The electrical potential energy is given by;

P.E = 1/2 ke²

Where, k is the spring constant, e is the extension

Therefore;

Electrical potential energy = 1/2 × 113 N/m × 0.03 m

                                           =  1.695 Joules

                                           <u>= 1.7 J</u>

If a net horizontal force of 0.8 N is applied to a toy whose mass is 1.2 kg what acceleration is produced?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

<h2>0.67 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{0.8}{1.2}   \\  = 0.666666...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.67 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Figure 15-1 shows how a(n) ____________________ breeze works.
Firlakuza [10]
<h2>Right answer: Sea breeze </h2>

The sea breeze is formed because during the day the surface of the land on the coast tends to warm up before and more than the surface of the sea. This difference in temperature between these two air masses means that on a sunny day the land warms up much more than the ocean causing a small area of ​​low pressure.

Then, the air rises as the land warms it and the colder air located on the surface of the sea forms a high pressure zone that makes this air mass tend to occupy the space left by the warmer air that has ascended on the coast. Therefore, the mass of air of a high pressure on the ocean always tends to move towards the zone of low pressure located on the coast.

It is important to note that the <u>sea breeze blows perpendicularly to the coast</u> and that the best breezes are formed in the spring and summer seasons because during the spring the water temperature is still cold and during the summer the sun produces high temperatures over the land in the coast.


<h2>So, <u>the greater the temperature contrast </u>between the land and the sea, <u>the greater the force of the wind generated</u>.</h2>
