Your friend thinks that the escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects. Provide an ar

gument for his opinion. Then provide a counterargument for why the escape speed is independent of the mass of the object. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Terms can be used once, more than once, or not at all. Make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer.

Answer:

Concepts and Principles

1- Kinetic Energy: The kinetic energy of an object is:

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

where m is the object's mass and v is its speed relative to the chosen coordinate system.  

2- Gravitational potential energy of a system consisting of Earth and any object is:  

 U_g = -Gm_E*m_o/r*E-o                                   (2)  

where m_E is the mass of Earth (5.97x 10^24 kg), m_o is the mass of the object, and G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 is Newton's gravitational constant.  

Solution  

The argument:  

My friend thinks that escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects because the gravitational pull on a more massive object is greater than the gravitational pull for a less massive object and therefore the more massive object needs more speed to escape this gravitational pull.  

The counterargument:  

We provide a mathematical counterargument. Consider a projectile of mass m, leaving the surface of a planet with escape speed v. The projectile has a kinetic energy K given by Equation (1):

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

and a gravitational potential energy Ug given by Equation (2):  

Ug = -G*Mm/R

where M is the mass of the planet and R is its radius. When the projectile reaches infinity, it stops and thus has no kinetic energy. It also has no potential energy because an infinite separation between two bodies is our zero-potential-energy configuration. Therefore, its total energy at infinity is zero. Applying the principle of energy consersation, we see that the total energy at the planet's surface must also have been zero:  

K+U=0  

1/2*m*v^2 + (-G*Mm/R) = 0

1/2*m*v^2 =  G*Mm/R

1/2*v^2 = G*M/R

solving for v we get

v = √2G*M/R

so we see v does not depend on the mass of the projectile

Explain how you can use the factors of production to produce a fruit juice in a production company
frozen [14]

Answer:

The factors of production include Land, Labour, Capital and Enterpreneurship

Explanation:

The fruit could be apple, orange , pineapple etc which are usually grown on land . They are tended to by people to ensure there is maximum yield. These people provide the required labour needed.

The cost of planting and payment of workers usually comes from the capital which is often used in running the business by the owner which makes certain decisions to ensure the fruit company is in place. All these factors work hand in hand to ensure production of fruit in a production company is possible.

While finding the spring constant, if X1 = 12 cm, X2 = 15 cm, and hanging mass = 22 grams, the value of spring constant K would
Pavel [41]

Answer:

If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m

Explanation:

Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²

If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m

k= spring constant

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=0.022\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=0.21582\ N

\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.012\\\Rightarrow k=1.7985\ N/m\\

∴k = 1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m

Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.015\\\Rightarrow k=1.4388\ N/m\\

∴k = 1.4388 N/m

As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m

A chair of mass 15.0 kg is sitting on the horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of
Neko [114]

Answer: 185.5672566

Explanation:  The friction is not relevant

Normal reaction is the force perpendicular to the surface.

this force resists the downwards forces applied which are gravity and a component of the applied force.
