<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>

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth <em>d</em> and the other (lets call it <em>l</em>) is given by:

l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section <em>A</em> at that point:

A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}

And the raising speed <em>v </em>of the water is given by:

v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}

where <em>q</em> is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).

An entertainer pulls a table cloth off a table leaving behind the plates and sliverware undisturbed is an example of
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

D. Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law of inertia says that an object will remain how it is, unless affected by an outside force. In this case, the plates want to remain stationary(not moving). Therefore, if you pull the table cloth fast enough, the force of friction produced will be small enough so that the Inertia of the plates will overcome the force of friction.

patriot [66]

<span>Visible satellite images are like photos which are dependent on visible light from the sun so they work best during the day. The sensor works by detecting radiation within the range that wavelength is visible. Because of this, the rays is usually seen as reaching earth from the East. </span>

A dog, that has a mass of 16 kgs, runs across a yard. What is the average force applied to the dog from the ground as it runs ac
VikaD [51]

Answer:

156.96 N

Explanation:

F=ma where m is the mass and a is acceleration

Substituting 16 Kg for m and 9.81 m/s2 for g then

F=16*9.81= 156.96 N
