Solar Nebula

Our solar system began forming within a concentration of interstellar dust and hydrogen gas called a molecular cloud. The cloud contracted under its own gravity and our proto-Sun formed in the hot dense center. The remainder of the cloud formed a swirling disk called of the solar nebula.

Suppose the rocket in the Example was initially on a circular orbit around Earth with a period of 1.6 days. Hint (a) What is its

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The orbital speed is $v= 2.6*10^{3} m/s$

The escape velocity of the rocket is $v_e= 3.72 *10^3 m/s$

Explanation:

Generally angular velocity is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

Where T is the period which is given as 1.6 days = $1.6 *24 *60*60 = 138240 sec$

Substituting the value

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{138240}$

$= 4.54*10^ {-5} rad /sec$

At the point when the rocket is on a circular orbit

The gravitational force = centripetal force and this can be mathematically represented as

$\frac{GMm}{r^2} = mr w^2$

Where G is the universal gravitational constant with a value $G = 6.67*10^{-11}$

M is the mass of the earth with a constant value of $M = 5.98*10^{24}kg$

r is the distance between earth and circular orbit where the rocke is found

Making r the subject

$r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{GM}{w^2} }$

$= \sqrt[3]{\frac{6.67*10^{-11} * 5.98*10^{24}}{(4.45*10^{-5})^2} }$

$= 5.78 *10^7 m$

The orbital speed is represented mathematically as

$v=wr$

Substituting value

$v= (5.78*10^7)(4.54*10^{-5})$

$v= 2.6*10^{3} m/s$

The escape velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r} }$

Substituting values

$= \sqrt{\frac{2(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{5.78*10^7} }$

$v_e= 3.72 *10^3 m/s$

A 10-kg rock and 20-kg rock are dropped from the same height and experience no significant air resistance. if it takes the 20-kg

bulgar [2K]

Mass of rock 1 is m1 = 10 kg Mass of rock 2 is m2 = 20 kg 10-kg rock takes T (the same time ) to reach the ground as similar to 20-kg rock that takes time T to reach the ground. If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. This statement follows from the law of conservation of energy and has been demonstrated experimentally by dropping a feather and a lead ball in an airless tube. When air resistance plays a role, the shape of the object becomes important. THUS 10-KG & 20-KG ROCK reaches the ground in T-time
