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.

What is the name of the kind of stretch that involves stretching as far as you can and then holding for 10-30 seconds
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Static stretching.

Explanation:

It is static stretching because it is a form of stretching which u can do actively for a period of time and you hold position for about 30 to 60 seconds which allow the muscles and connective tissues to lengthen. It is done after work out with out movement in order to loosen up muscles so as to gain flexibility.

A water wave has a frequency of 2 HZ and a wavelength of 5 meters what is its speed
Sliva [168]
Speed, v = fλ.

Where f is the frequency in Hertz, wavelength is in meters.

Speed, v = 2*5 = 10

Speed = 10 m/s.

How do I calculate the speed of light and the distance between the earth and the moon?
MAVERICK [17]

To calculate the distance to a star, astronomers observe it from different places along Earth's orbit around the Sun. If they measure the object's position several months apart, their "two eyes" will have a separation of well over 100 million miles!
