To successfully escape a planet's gravity, a space ship must achieve escape velocity, which for Earth is 11.2 km/s or 25,054 mil

es per hour. If a ship reaches this speed and maintains it, then neglecting the need to slow down prior to landing, how long would it take the ship to reach the Moon? Use the actual distance to the Moon of 233,815 miles and give your answer in hours.

Answer:

9.33 Hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time in hours is given by the distance divided by velocity.

t=D/v

Now we are told that the velocity of the ship will be 25054 miles per hour, and the distance to the Moon is 233815 miles; therefore the time it will take the spacecraft to reach the moon will be:

t=233815miles/(25054miles/hr) = 9.33 hours

Invasive species often experience exponential population growth when introduced into a new environment. Zebra mussels are an inv
Oliga [24]

Answer:

If ‘a’ is the initial population of the Zebra mussels, then every six months, the population of Zebra mussels quadruples, i.e. it becomes 4a. In t years, i.e. in 2t intervals of 6 months each, the population of Zebra mussels can be computed with the help of a geometric series a, ar, ar2, ar3, …. arn-1 ( the series being finite with n terms) where a is the 1st term , r is the common ratio and n is the number of terms in the series..

Here, in 2t years, there will be 2t + 1 terms in the geometric series including the initial term. Thus in the above series, a = 10, r = 4 and n = 2t + 1. Then the population of the Zebra mussels after 2t years is the (2t +1)st term of the geometric series I.e. 10* ( 42t)                  

In 15 months, t = 15/12 = 1.25. Then the population of Zebra mussels after 15 months will be 10*(42.5 ) = 10 * 25 = 320

If after t years, the population of the Zebra mussels become 1 million , then we have

1000000 = 10 * (42t) or, 100000= 42t or,105 = 42t    Taking logarithms of both sides, we have 5 log 10 = 2t log 4 or, t = (5log10)/(2log4) = 5/1.20 years or (5/1.20) * 12 months = 50 months, i.e. 4 years and 2 months.
