The radius of Mercury (from the center to just above the atmosphere) is 2440 km (2440 × 103 m), and its mass is 3 × 1023 kg. An

object is launched straight up from just above the atmosphere of Mercury.
a. What initial speed is needed so that when the object is far from Mercury its final speed is 2000 m/s?
b. What initial speed is needed so that when the object is far from Mercury its final speed is 0 m/s?

Answer:

(a)4676m/s

(b) 4227m/s

Explanation:

Let the mass of mercury be Mm = 3×10²³ kg and the mass of the object be M

Also let the distance from the center of mercury be R1 = 2.240×10⁶m let the distance the object is launched to be R

From the energy conservation equation

K1 + U1 = K2 + U2

K1, K2 = initial and final kinetic energies.

U1, U2 = initial and final potential energies.

1/2MV1² + (-GMm×M/R1) = 1/2MV2² + (-GMm×M/R)

Assuming that the very far R approaches infinity then the second term to the right side of the equation above approaches zero

So dividing through by M since M is common to both sides we have that

1/2V1² + (-G×Mm/R1) = 1/2V2²

Rearranging,

V1² = 2×( 1/2V2²+ GMm/R1 )

Given V2 = 2000m/s and also the constant value of G = 6.67×10‐¹¹ N•m²/kg²

Substituting,

V1² =2×( 1/2×2000² + 6.67×10-¹¹ ×3×10²³ /(2.24×10⁶))

V1² = 21866071.43

V1 = 4676m/s

(b) this is still similar to the case described above but this time V2 = 0m/s

V1² = 2×( 1/2V2²+ GMm/R1 ) = 2×(1/2×0+ GMm/R1) = 2GMm/R1

V1² = 2×6.67×10-¹¹ × 3×10²³/(2.24×10⁶)

= 17866071.43

V1 = 4227m/s

Jin knows that the initial internal energy of a closed system is 78 J and the final internal energy is 180 J. He also knows that
lawyer [7]

As we know by the first law of thermodynamics

Q = \Delta U + W

here we know that

Q = heat given to the system

\Delta U = U_f - U_i

W = work done by the system

now here we can say

\Delta U = 180 - 78 = 102 J

W = 64 J

now we can say that heat will be given as

Q = 64 + 102 = 166 J

now here we can say that Jin does the error in his first step while calculation of change in internal energy as he had to subtract it while he added the two energy

So best describe Jin's Error is

<em>B )For step 1, he should have subtracted 78 J from 180 J to find the change in internal energy. </em>

Convert 5.5 kilometers into millimeters.​
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

5500000 millimeters

Explanation:

1 kilometre= 1000 meter

5.5 km=5.5 * 1000

=5500

Now,

1 metre = 1000 millimetres

5500 metre=1000*5500

=5500000 mm

A horizontal force of 400 N is exerted on a 2.0-kg ball as it rotates (at
frutty [35]

Answer:

the speed of the ball is 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of exerted force, F = 400 N

mass of the ball, m = 2 kg

radius of the circle, r = 0.5

The speed of the ball is calculated by applying centripetal force formula;

F = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = \frac{Fr}{m}\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{Fr}{m}}\\\\ v = \sqrt{\frac{400*0.5}{2}}\\\\v = 10 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball is 10 m/s
