To introduce you to the concept of escape velocity for a rocket. the escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with whi
Mama L [17]
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R) 

This is the expression for escape velocity.

P14.003A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.1 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressur
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank is 0.0189 m

Explanation:

Given data:

d = inside diameter = 8.1 m

P = internal pressure = 1.26 MPa

σ = 270 MPa

factor of safety = 2

Question: Determine the minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank, tmin = ?

The allow factor of safety:

\sigma _{a}  =\frac{\sigma }{factor-of-safety} =\frac{270}{2} =135MPa

The minimun wall thickness:

t=\frac{Pd}{4\sigma _{a} } =\frac{1.26*8.1}{4*135} =0.0189m

What is the force acting on a 10kg object that accelerates from 5 m/s to 20 m/s in 5s?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

v= u + at

20 = 5 + a(5)

15= a(5)

a= 3 m/s²

Force = mass × acceleration

= 10 × 3

= 30 N

2 spheres are made from the same material. One is smaller and one is larger. Is the smaller sphere made up of smaller atoms than
motikmotik
No because because they are made up of the same material so that means same size of atoms! I hope this helps

Does voltage flow in a circuit? Explain
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Voltage is the measure of specific potential energy (potential energy per unit charge) between two locations. ... When a voltage source is connected to a circuit, the voltage will cause a uniform flow of charge carriers through that circuit called a current.
