The key to making a concise mathematical definition of escape velocity is to consider the energy. If an object is launched at it

s escape velocity, what is the total mechanical energy Etotal of the object at a very large (i.e., infinite) distance from the planet? Follow the usual convention and take the gravitational potential energy to be zero at very large distances?

Answer:

The total Mechanical energy will be zero

Explanation: Escape velocity is the velocity required by a free object in order to overcome the impact of the force of gravity. The total mechanical energy of an object is the total energy possessed by an object which includes its kinectic and potential energy.

since the object is moving at an escape velocity which is 11.2m/s the object will be assumed to be weightless

Etotal = kinetic energy + potential energy

kinetic energy= 1/2*M*V*V

Potential energy=MGH

Etotal=1/2*0*11.2*11.2+0*0*0

Etotal=0+0

Etotal=0.

It requires 350 joules to raise a certain amount of a substance from 10.0°C to 30.0°C. The specific heat of the substance is 1.2
Akimi4 [234]
I'll assume you are looking for the mass of the object, since that is the missing piece of the puzzle.

The important equation for heat and energy is

Energy = mass × specific heat × change in temperature

Things we know:
Energy needed is 350 J.
Specific heat = 1.2 J/g°C
Temp. change = (30-20)°

Now we just need to plug those in and rearrange the formula to find the mass!

350 = mass × 1.2 × 10

A man walks 7 km, east in 2 hours and 2 km in 1 hour in the same direction. a) what is
Rzqust [24]

Explanation:

Average speed = distance / time

|v| = (7 km + 2 km) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

|v| = 3 km/hr

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (7 km east + 2 km east) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

v = 3 km/hr east

If 3600 j of work is done in 3.0 s what is the power<br>0.00083W<br>1200W<br>3600W<br>11000W
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1200 W

Explanation:

Power is given by the ratio between work done and time taken:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t the time taken.

In this problem, W = 3600 J and t = 3.0 s. Therefore, the power in this exercise is

P=\frac{3600 J}{3.0 s}=1200 W

11. diagram 11 shows two boys swinging at the same speed
puteri [66]

(a). By the inertia, it's difficult to stop heavier mass than lighter mass.

As, moment of inertia is directly proportional to the mass of the body.

Thus, more force is required to stop the boy with heavier mass than lighter mass.

The problem statement for the given case is,

The time taken by the heavier body to stop swinging is more than the lighter body, then what is the impact of weight on the time period of the swing?
