A projectile is shot directly away from Earth's surface. Neglect the rotation of the Earth. What multiple of Earth's radius RE g
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

(a) r = 1.062·R_E = \frac{531}{500} R_E

(b) r = \frac{33}{25} R_E

(c) Zero

Explanation:

Here we have escape velocity v_e given by

v_e =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} } and the maximum height given by

\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}

Therefore, when the initial speed is 0.241v_e we have

v = 0.241\times \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} } so that;

v² = 0.058081\times {\frac{2GM}{R_E} }

v² = {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }

\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r} is then

\frac{1}{2} {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}

Which gives

-\frac{0.941919}{R_E} = -\frac{1}{r} or

r = 1.062·R_E

(b) Here we have

K_i = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times v_e^2 = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m  \times \frac{2GM}{R_E} = \frac{0.241mGM}{R_E}

Therefore we put  \frac{0.241GM}{R_E} in the maximum height equation to get

\frac{0.241}{R_E} -\frac{1}{R_E} =-\frac{1}{r}

From which we get

r = 1.32·R_E

(c) The we have the least initial mechanical energy, ME given by

ME = KE - PE

Where the KE = PE required to leave the earth we have

ME = KE - KE = 0

The least initial mechanical energy to leave the earth is zero.

A ball that is attached to a string travels in a horizontal, circular path, as shown in Figure 1. At time t0 , the ball has a sp
Levart [38]

Answer:

F₁ = 4 F₀

Explanation:

The force applied on the string by the ball attached to it, while in circular motion will be equal to the centripetal force. Therefore, at time t₀, the force on ball F₀ is given as:

F₀ = mv₀²/r   --------------- equation (1)

where,

F₀ = Force on string at t₀

m = mass of ball

v₀ = speed of ball at t₀

r = radius of circular path

Now, at time t₁:

v₁ = 2v₀

F₁ = mv₁²/r

F₁ = m(2v₀)²/r

F₁ = 4 mv₀²/r

using equation (1):

<u>F₁ = 4 F₀</u>

What is the best way to support your hypothesis
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Making a Hypothesis

Explanation:

-Research the subject of your question. Review the literature and find out as much as you can about previous information and discoveries surrounding your question.

-Develop an educated guess that answers your initial question. This is your hypothesis. Make a prediction based on your hypothesis and state it as a cause-effect relationship.
