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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

A car of mass m goes around a banked curve of radius r with speed v. If the road is frictionless due to ice, the car can still n

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

horizontal component of normal force is equal to the centripetal force on the car

Explanation:

As the car is moving with uniform speed in circle then the force required to move in the circle is towards the center of the circle

This force is due to friction force when car is moving in circle with uniform speed

Now it is given that car is moving on the ice surface such that the friction force is zero now

so here we can say that centripetal force is due to component of the normal force which is due to banked road

Now we have
