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.

A 66-kg fellow stands on a digital scale in an elevator that accelerates upwards from rest to 4.5 m/s in 2.00 s. show answer Inc
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the fellow ( m ) = 66kg

acceleration of fellow a

v = u + at

4.5 = 0 + a x 2

a = 4.5 /2

= 2.25 m / s²

Net force acting on fellow in upward direction by the surface of  elevator

R - mg where R is reaction force of the surface of the elevator

Applying Newton's law of motion

R - mg = ma

R = m (g +a )

= 66 x ( 9.8 + 2 )

= 778.8 N

This will be the scale reading .

Spiderman, whose mass is 74.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 11.0-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree l
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

W = -1844.513 J

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

mass of spider man is m  74 kg

vertical displacement if spider is 11 m

final displacement  =  11 cos 60.6 =  - 6.753 m

change in displacement is  = -6.753 - (-11) = 4.25 m

gravity force act on spiderman is f = mg = 74 × 9.8 = 725.2 N

work done by gravity is W = F \delta r cos\theta

W = 725.2 \times 4.25 \times cos 180

where 180 is the angle between spiderman weight and displacement

W = -1844.513 J
