<span>Escape velocity is the speed that an object needs to be traveling to break free of a planet or moon's gravity well and leave it without further propulsion. For example, a spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth needs to be going 7 miles per second, or nearly 25,000 miles per hour to leave without falling back to the surface or falling into orbit</span>

<span>On the surface of the Earth, the escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s, which is approximately 33 times the speed of sound (Mach 33) and several times the muzzle velocity of a rifle bullet (up to 1.7 km/s). However, at 9,000 km altitude in "space", it is slightly less than 7.1 km/s.</span>

Suppose the U.S. national debt is about $14 trillion. If payments were made at the rate of $3,500 per second, how many years wou
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

It will take 126.84 years to pay off the debt

Explanation:

Total debt = $14,000,000,000,000.00

Paid $3,500 per second

Number of seconds to pay off the debt will be:

14 ×10^12 /3500

Number of seconds = 4× 10^9 seconds

Converting seconds to year:

I second = 3.171 ×10^-8 calendar year

Therefore, number of years it will take to pay off $14 Trillion =( 4 ×10^9 ) × ( 3.171 × 10^-8)

Number of years = 126.84 years

How does the molecular structure of a water molecule affect its polarity?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.

Describe two sources of earth's energy that are not produced
Anvisha [2.4K]
Here is the answer. Two sources of Earth's energy that are not produced would be Cosmic rays and Tidal Energy. Cosmic rays <span>are high-energy protons and atomic nuclei that come from outside the solar system. Whereas, tidal energy is the energy produced by both the moon (2/3) and the sun (1/3). Hope this answers your question.</span>
