Why is the escape speed for a spacecraft independent of the spacecraft's mass?

Physics

scoray [572]3 years ago

In order to escape the gravitational pull of our planet, any object must have an escape velocity of 7 km/s  or more, anything lower than that will be slowed down by the pull of gravity, and will eventually returned to the surface of our planet. It is independent of mass, any lighter or heavier object must attain the required escaped velocity to reach space.

If this decay has a half-life of 10.2 years, what mass of 60.8g carbon-14 will remain after 20.4 years
OLEGan [10]
20.4 years is 20.4/10.2 = 2 half-life cycles, which means a quarter of the starting mass or 15.2 g will remain after this time.

Brutus, a champion weight lifter, raises 220 kg a distance of 3.10 m. (a) how much work is done by brutus lifting the weights? j
Nana76 [90]
A) work = force * distance 
mass is not a force, weight is, so we have to find the weight of the block. 
Weight = mg 
Weight = (220kg)(9.8) 
Weight = 2156N 
Work = 2156N * 3.10m 
work = 6683.6J 
b) Since he is holding the weights, it's not moving, therefore, he doesn't do any work 
c) The answer is still the same amount of work when he lifted them. 
d) The answer is no since when he let go the weight, he doesn't apply any force to the weight. 
e) P = work/time 
P = 6683.6J / 2.1s 
P = 3182.67 watts
