For each load,  Work = (mass) x (gravity) x (distance .

Bigger load:      Work = (10 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2 m) = 196 joules .

Smaller load:    Work = (5 kg)  x  (9.8 m/s²)  x  (4 m) = 196 joules.

The work required is equal in both cases.

The mass ratio of  2:1  is exactly balanced by
the height ratio of  1:2 .

Answer:

The escape speed for the craft is 1.49 m/s.

Explanation:

In this case we need to find the escape speed for a craft launched from a space elevator at a height of 56,000 km. The escape velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{d}}

Here,

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of earth

d = r + h, r is radius of Earth

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{(6,371 \times 10^3\times 56000\times 10^3)}}\\\\v=1.49\ m/s

So, the escape speed for the craft is 1.49 m/s.

Naddik [55]
Ohm's law states that,
                                  V = I x R
where V, I, and R are voltage, current, and resistance, respectively. Rearranging the equation gives,
                                      R = V / I
Replacing the variables with the given values,
                                     R = 1.5 volts / 2.0 amp
The answer is letter B. 0.75 ohms.
