You read in a science magazine that on the Moon, the speed of a shell leaving the barrel of a modern tank is enough to put the s

hell in a circular orbit above the surface of the Moon (there is no atmosphere to slow the shell).What should be the speed for this to happen? Assume that the radius of the Moon is rM = 1.74×10^6m, and the mass of the Moon is mM = 7.35×10^22kg.

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the kinematic equations of centrifugal motion, using the constants of the gravitational acceleration of the moon and the radius of this star.

Centrifugal acceleration is determined by

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v = Velocity

r = Radius

From the given data of the moon we know that gravity there is equivalent to

a = 1.62m/s

While the radius of the moon is given by

r = 1.74*10^6m

If we rearrange the function to find the speed we will have to

v = \sqrt{ar}

v = \sqrt{1.6(1.74*10^6)}

v = 1.7km/s

The speed for this to happen is 1.7km/s

The answer would be A. As the bat is swung, it gains kinetic energy. But once it hits the ball, it loses, or transfers, it’s kinetic energy to the ball.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Defined below

Explanation:

Climate change is simply the long term change in the average weather patterns that are associated with the local, regional and global climates of the earth. Climate change is usually driven by human activities like burning of fossils; natural processes like cyclic ocean patterns; external factors like volcanic eruptions.
