A projectile of mass m is fired straight upward from the surface of an airless planet of radius R and mass M with an initial spe

ed equal to the escape speed vesc (meaning the projectile will just barely escape the planet's gravity -- it will asymptotically approach infinite distance and zero speed.) What is the correct expression for the projectile's kinetic energy when it is a distance 9R from the planet's center (8R from the surface). Ignore the gravity of the Sun and other astronomical bodies. KE (at r = 9R) is:a. GMm/9Rb. GMm/8Rc. 1/2mvesc^2d. -GMm/8Re. None of these

Answer:

K = G Mm / 9R

Explanation:

Expression for escape velocity V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Kinetic energy at the surface = 1/2 m V_e ²

= 1/2 x m x 2GM/R

GMm/R

Potential energy at the surface

= - GMm/R

Total energy = 0

At height 9R ( 8R from the surface )

potential energy

= - G Mm / 9R

Kinetic energy = K

Total energy will be zero according to law of conservation of mechanical energy

so

K  - G Mm / 9R = 0

K = G Mm / 9R

sladkih [1.3K]

Hello. You did not inform the experiment that Arthur is conducting, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The hypothesis is an assumption that is made before the experiment is carried out. This hypothesis is formed with the observation of some phenomenon of nature where the researcher believes that two or more elements interact to form a result. In this case, the experiment is carried out to determine whether the assumption, that is, the hypothesis is false or true. In the event that an experiment determines that the hypothesis is false, two things may have occurred: (a) the experiment was set up, or analyzed incorrectly, (b) the elements tested have no relation to the observed phenomenon.

A 1.2 x 103 kg racecar, with a velocity of 8 m/s, collides with an unsuspecting 80 kg honey badger who is standing
aalyn [17]

Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of racecar M=1.2\times10^3\ kg

velocity of racecar u=8\ m/s

mass of still honeybadger m=80\ kg

after collision race car is traveling at a speed of v_1=2\ m/s

conserving linear momentum

Mu+m\times0=Mv_1+ mv_2\quad[v_2=\text{velocity of honeybadger after colllision}]

1.2\times10^3\times8+0=1.2\times10^3\times2+80\times v_2

1.2\times10^3(8-2)=80v_2\\v_2=\frac{7.2\times10^3}{80}=90\ m/s

If one light bulb burns out in a string of lights, and the rest stay lit, it is reasonable to assume that the lights are wired i
Blizzard [7]
The lights are wired in PARALLEL.

In fact, when the lights are connected in parallel, they are connected on separate branches to the source of voltage, so if one light bulb burns out, the other lights continue to work because the current continues to flow in the other branches of the circuit.

Vice-versa, if the light bulbs are connected in series, they are on the same branch This means that if one of them burns out, the circuit is open in that point, so the current cannot flow anymore and the other light bulbs turn off as well.
