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.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Temperature at the bottom will be 19.18°C

Explanation:

We have given height h = 807 m

Temperature at the top =17.3^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water c = 4200 J/kg/^{\circ}C

From energy conservation

Kinetic energy at the bottom = potential energy at the top

So mc\Delta T=mgh

\Delta T=\frac{gh}{c}=\frac{9.8\times 807}{4200}=1.88^{\circ}C

So temperature at the bottom = 17.3+1.88 = 19.18°C

the SI and CGS unit of force are newton and dyne respectively haow many dynes are equal to one newton​
Triss [41]

Answer:

For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s2), is equal to 100000 dynes.

What is the velocity of a 50kg skater if her momentum is 225kg. m/s?
Gnom [1K]

|Momentum| = (mass) x (speed)

225 kg-m/s =(50kg) x (speed)

Divide each side by (50kg):  Speed=(225 kg-m/s) / (50 kg) = 4.5 m/s .

Regarding the velocity, nothing can be said other than the speed, because
we have no information regarding the direction of the object's motion.
