Well, if the skydiver is at constant velocity, than there’s no acceleration, as stated by Newton’s first law. Thus the total net force would equate to 0. In order to make this statement true, the answer would have to be exactly 600 N.

Answer:

(a) r = 1.062·R_E = \frac{531}{500} R_E

(b) r = \frac{33}{25} R_E

(c) Zero

Explanation:

Here we have escape velocity v_e given by

v_e =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} } and the maximum height given by

\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}

Therefore, when the initial speed is 0.241v_e we have

v = 0.241\times \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} } so that;

v² = 0.058081\times {\frac{2GM}{R_E} }

v² = {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }

\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r} is then

\frac{1}{2} {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}

Which gives

-\frac{0.941919}{R_E} = -\frac{1}{r} or

r = 1.062·R_E

(b) Here we have

K_i = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times v_e^2 = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m  \times \frac{2GM}{R_E} = \frac{0.241mGM}{R_E}

Therefore we put  \frac{0.241GM}{R_E} in the maximum height equation to get

\frac{0.241}{R_E} -\frac{1}{R_E} =-\frac{1}{r}

From which we get

r = 1.32·R_E

(c) The we have the least initial mechanical energy, ME given by

ME = KE - PE

Where the KE = PE required to leave the earth we have

ME = KE - KE = 0

The least initial mechanical energy to leave the earth is zero.

A β− and a β+ particle meet and interact within a tissue. Discuss what would be the likely outcome of this interaction.
Arturiano [62]

When a β− and a β+ particle meet and interact they are annihilated.

Every matter has an antimatter. An antimatter of a particular particle is another particle that has exactly the same properties as the initial particle but carries an opposite charge.

If we look at β− and β+ particles, we will notice that they are matter and antimatter. The interaction of matter and antimatter leads to annihilation. The energy produced by annihilation of matter and antimatter is enough to destroy the tissue.

So, when β− and a β+ particle meet and interact they are annihilated.
