Answer:

a) v= 1732.05m/s

b) d=250000m

c) v= 1414.214m/s

Explanation:

Notation

M= mass of the asteroid

m= mass of the particle moving upward

R= radius

v= escape speed

G= Universal constant

h= distance above the the surface

Part a

For this part we can use the principle of conservation of energy. for the begin the initial potential energy for the asteroid would be U_i =-\frac{GMm}{R}.

The initial kinetic energy would be \frac{1}{2}mv^2. The assumption here is that the particle escapes only if is infinetely far from the asteroid. And other assumption required is that the final potential and kinetic energy are both zero. Applying these we have:

-\frac{GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0   (1)

Dividing both sides by m and replacing \frac{GM}{R} by a_g R

And the equation (1) becomes:

-a_g R+\frac{1}{2} v^2=0   (2)

If we solve for v we got this:

v=\sqrt{2 a_g R}=\sqrt{2x3\frac{m}{s^2}x500000m}=1732.05m/s

Part b

When we consider a particule at this surface at the starting point we have that:

U_i=-\frac{GMm}{R}

K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Considering that the particle is at a distance h above the surface and then stops we have that:

U_f=-\frac{GMm}{R+h}

K_f=0

And the balance of energy would be:

-\frac{GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =-\frac{GMm}{R+h}

Dividing again both sides by m and replacing \frac{GM}{R} by a_g R^2 we got:

-a_g R+\frac{1}{2}v^2 =-\frac{a_g R^2}{R+h}

If we solve for h we can follow the following steps:

R+h=-\frac{a_g R^2}{-a_g R+\frac{1}{2}v^2}

And subtracting R on both sides and multiplying by 2 in the fraction part and reordering terms:

h=\frac{2a_g R^2}{2a_g R-v^2}-R

Replacing:

h=\frac{2x3\frac{m}{s^2}(500000m)^2}{2(3\frac{m}{s^2})(500000m)-(1000m/s)^2}- 500000m=250000m

Part c

For this part we assume that the particle is a distance h above the surface at the begin and start with 0 velocity so then:

U_i=-\frac{GMm}{R+h}

K_i=0

And after the particle reach the asteroid we have this:

U_f=-\frac{GMm}{R}

K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

So the balance of energy would be:

-\frac{GMm}{R+h}=-\frac{GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Replacing again a_g R^2 instead of GM and dividing both sides by m we have:

-\frac{a_g R^2}{R+h}=-a_g R+\frac{1}{2}v^2

And solving for v:

a_g R-\frac{a_g R^2}{R+h}=\frac{1}{2}v^2

Multiplying both sides by two and taking square root:

v=\sqrt{2a_g R-\frac{2a_g R^2}{R+h}}

Replacing

v=\sqrt{2(3\frac{m}{s^2})(500000m)-\frac{2(3\frac{m}{s^2}(500000m)^2}{500000+1000000m}}=1414.214m/s

Water enters a student's house 10.0 m above the ground through a pipe with a cross section area of 1.00 x 10-4m2 at ground. Insi
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

(a). V₁ = 10m/s (velocity inside the house), V₂ = 5m/s (velocity at ground level)

(b). P₂ = 236500 Pa

Explanation:

This is quite straight-forward so let us begin by defining the terms given.

Given that;

The cross-section area inside the student's house A₁ = 0.50 0.50 x 10-4m2.

Let us make the velocity of water inside the house be V₁

such that the Volume of water entering the per second is = A₁V₁

Therefore, in 90sec:

45 L =  90 A₁V₁

V₁ = 45 * 10⁻³m³ / 90*0.5*10⁻⁴

V₁ = 10m/s            (velocity of water inside the house)

From the continuity equation we have that;

A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

0.5*10⁻⁴ * 10 = 1*10⁻⁴ V₂

V₂ = 5m/s               (velocity at ground level)

(b). We are told to calculate the water pressure in the pipeline at the ground level.

Using Bernoulli's equation;

P₁ + pgh₁ + 1/2PV₁²  (inside)      =       P₂ + pgh₂ + 1/2PV₂²   (ground level)

1.01*10⁵ + 1000*9.8*10 + 1/2*1000*(10)² = P₂ + 0 + 1/2*1000*(5)²

P₂ (pressure) = 1.01*10⁵Pa

Therefore we have;

101000 + 98000 + 50000 = P₂ + 12500

P₂ = 236500 Pa

cheers I hope this helped !!

Two cars are traveling along a straight line in the same direction, the lead car at 25 m/s and the other car at 35 m/s. At the m
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

a. t_1=12.5\ s

b. a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2}  must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c. t_2=2.5714\ s is the time taken to stop after braking

Explanation:

Given:

  • speed of leading car, u_1=25\ m.s^{-1}
  • speed of lagging car, u_{2}=35\ m.s^{-1}
  • distance between the cars, \Delta s=45\ m
  • deceleration of the leading car after braking, a_1=-2\ m.s^{-2}

a.

Time taken by the car to stop:

v_1=u_1+a_1.t_1

where:

v_1=0 , final velocity after braking

t_1= time taken

0=25-2\times t_1

t_1=12.5\ s

b.

using the eq. of motion for the given condition:

v_2^2=u_2^2+2.a_2.\Delta s

where:

v_2= final velocity of the chasing car after braking = 0

a_2= acceleration of the chasing car after braking

0^2=35^2+2\times a_2\times 45

a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2} must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c.

time taken by the chasing car to stop:

v_2=u_2+a_2.t_2

0=35-13.61\times t_2

t_2=2.5714\ s  is the time taken to stop after braking

In the eastern US, hurricanesusually form over the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and travel north. When they are over the col
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Less powerful

Explanation:

Hurricanes rely on warm water. It sucks heat energy from the water to use for fuel. Warmer water means more moisture, which also mean a bigger and/or stronger hurricane. The North Atlantic is definitely much colder than the Caribbean so the hurricane will not have much fuel.

Have a great day!

Answer:

car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by each car. This is illustrated below:

For car A:

Speed = 40 km/h

Time = 3 hours

Distance =?

Speed = distance / time

40 = distance / 3

Cross multiply

Distance = 40 × 3

Distance = 120 Km

For car B:

Speed = 50 km/h

Time = 3 hours

Distance =?

Speed = distance / time

50 = distance / 3

Cross multiply

Distance = 50 × 3

Distance = 150 Km

Finally, we shall determine the distance between car B an car A. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance travelled by car B (D₆) = 150 Km

Distance travelled by car A (Dₐ) = 120 Km

Distance apart =?

Distance apart = D₆ – Dₐ

Distance apart = 150 – 120

Distance apart = 30 Km

Therefore, car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.
