You would have to give it more mechanical energy.
Like, strap a bunch of powerful rockets to one side of the moon, with all of them pointing in the direction that the moon is already moving in its orbit. Then blast away.
NOTE: There aren't enough rockets or rocket fuel on Earth to make a difference, even if you used ALL of them. The mass of the moon is about
<em>73,476,730,900,000,000,000,000 kilograms</em>
(rounded to the nearest hundred trillion kilograms.)
That's a lot.
Given
The projectile is in air for a time of t=8 sec
To find
The time it takes to reach the highest point
Explanation
A projectile moves up to the highest point and then again moves down following a parabolic path.
So it will reach the highest point at a time half the time it requires to follow teh parabolic path.
The time taken to reach the highest point is 4 sec
Conclusion
The time taken is 4 sec.
A geologist is studying rock layers in an old river bed, and he finds a fossil of a fish and a horsetail rush in the same rock layer. According to the law of faunal and floral succession, the geologist can assume that the rock containing the fossils may date back as far as the <span>Devonian period</span>.
Answer:
1703.24J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of brick = 7.9kg
Height of building = 22m
Unknown:
Potential energy of the brick = ?
Solution:
The potential energy of a body is the energy at rest of the body. Mathematically;
P.E = mgh
m is the mass of the brick
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height of the building
Insert the given parameters and solve;
P.E = 7.9 x 9.8 x 22 = 1703.24J
