particle is projected from the surface of the planet Krypton with a speed equal to 3.6 times the escape speed from that planet's

surface. When the particle is very far away from Krypton, its speed is N times the escape speed from that planet's surface. What is N?

Answer:

N = 3.46

Explanation:

The escape velocity on a planet is given by the expression

V_e = √2GM / R

G , M and R are gravitational constant , mass and radius  of the planet respectively.

Potential energy at the surface

- GMm /R

Total energy at the surface

= - GMm /R  + 1/2 m x (3.6V_e )²

- GMm /R  + 1/2 m x 12.96 x2GM / R

= 11.96 GMm /R

Total energy at infinity

1\ 2 m v² + 0 ( potential energy is zero at infinity )

1\2 mv²

Applying conservation of energy

1/2 m v² = 11.96 GMm /R

v =  √11.96 √2GMm /R

v = √11.96  x escape velocity at planet.

= 3.46 times

N = 3.46

A skydiver falls toward the ground at a constant velocity. Which statement best applies Newton’s laws of motion to explain the s
Tema [17]

Answer:

The answer is (a.) An upward force balances the downward force gravity on the skydiver

The skydiver is falling at a constant velocity because the upward force is balancing the downward force of gravity. According to Newton, the opposite force balance each other. This is stated in Newton's second law of motion.

A car engine has power than a horse because a car engine does the same amount of work in time. Yasmin and Raj each had 10 boxes
labwork [276]

Answer:

A car engine has more power than a horse because a car engine does the same amount of work in time. Yasmin and Raj each had 10 boxes of equal weight to stack next to each other on the same shelf, at the same height and in the same arrangement. Yasmin completed the task in 2 minutes, while Raj took 3 minutes to stack his boxes. Raj applied less power than Yasmin because his stacking took more time to do the same amount of work.

An ultrasound unit is being used to measure a patient's heartbeat by combining the emitted 2.0 MHz signal with the sound waves r
alexandr402 [8]
Hi there, 
for this question we have:
Signal 2.0 MHz = Emitted so we can call it f_e
and we need the Reflected = f_{r}
In this question, we have a source which goes to the heart and a reflected which comes back from the heart and we need the speed of the reflected.
So you should know that the speed of reflected is lower than the source(Emitted). 
we also know: ΔBeat frequency(max) = 560 Hz = f_{b}
so we have: 
f_{e} - f_{r} = f_{b}
so frequency of Reflected is: 
2.0 × 10^6 Hz - 560 Hz = 1.99 × 10^6 Hz = f_{r}
now you know that Lambda = v/f 
so if we find the lambda with our Emitted then we can find v with the Reflected: 
Lambda = 1540(m/s) / 2.0 × 10^6 Hz = 7.7 × 10^-4 m 
=> v_{max} = (lambda)(f_{r} 
=> 7.7 × 10^-4m (1.99 × 10^6Hz) = 1532 m/s 
so the v_{max} is equal to 1532 m/s :)))
This question is solved by two top teachers as fast as they could :))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

\frac{3}{8} inches

Explanation:

the variations in riser height or tread depth should not be grater than \frac{3}{8} inches that is equal to 9.5 mm but the maximum riser height should be the  \frac{81}{4} inch  but variation in riser height should not exceed to \frac{3}{8} inches. The minimum riser height should be 7 inches which is equal to the 178 mm
