Answer:
The total Mechanical energy will be zero
Explanation: Escape velocity is the velocity required by a free object in order to overcome the impact of the force of gravity. The total mechanical energy of an object is the total energy possessed by an object which includes its kinectic and potential energy.
since the object is moving at an escape velocity which is 11.2m/s the object will be assumed to be weightless
Etotal = kinetic energy + potential energy
kinetic energy= 1/2*M*V*V
Potential energy=MGH
Etotal=1/2*0*11.2*11.2+0*0*0
Etotal=0+0
Etotal=0.
Answer:
Approximately
(assuming that the projectile was launched at angle of
above the horizon.)
Explanation:
Initial vertical component of velocity:
.
The question assumed that there is no drag on this projectile. Additionally, the altitude of this projectile just before landing
is the same as the altitude
at which this projectile was launched:
.
Hence, the initial vertical velocity of this projectile would be the exact opposite of the vertical velocity of this projectile right before landing. Since the initial vertical velocity is
(upwards,) the vertical velocity right before landing would be
(downwards.) The change in vertical velocity is:
.
Since there is no drag on this projectile, the vertical acceleration of this projectile would be
. In other words,
.
Hence, the time it takes to achieve a (vertical) velocity change of
would be:
.
Hence, this projectile would be in the air for approximately
.
Answer:
You can do the reverse unit conversion from cm/s to m/s, or enter any two units below: Metre per second (U.S. spelling: meter per second) is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds.
