A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing e

xperiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed ????esc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ????=4.49×106 g/m3 and volume ????=3.32×1012 m3 . Recall that the universal gravitational constant is ????=6.67×10−11 N·m2/kg2 .

Answer:

463.4 m/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity on the surface of a planet/asteroid is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet/asteroid

R is the radius of the planet/asteroid

For the asteroid in this problem, we know

\rho=4.49\cdot 10^6 g/m^3 is the density

V=3.32\cdot 10^{12} m^3 is the volume

So we can find its mass:

M=\frac{\rho}{V}=(4.49\cdot 10^6 g/m^3)(3.32\cdot 10^{12}m^3)=1.49\cdot 10^{19} kg

Also, the asteroid is approximately spherical, so its volume is given by

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3

where R is the radius. Solving the formula for R, we find its radius:

R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi}}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3(3.32\cdot 10^{12}m^3)}{4\pi}}=9256 m

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the escape velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.49\cdot 10^{19}kg)}{9256 m}}=463.4 m/s

Beaker A contains 100 mL of water at a temperature of 25 °C. Beaker B contains 100 mL of water at a temperature of 60 °C. Which
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Only option A is correct. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Beaker 1 has a volume of 100 mL at 25 °C

Beaker B has a volume of 100 mL at 60 °C

Thermal energy = m*c*T

Thermal energy beaker A = 100 grams*4.184 * 25°C

Thermal energy beaker B = 100 grams *4.184*60°C

⇒ Since both beakers contain the same amount of water, the thermal energy depends on the temperature.

Since beaker B has a higher temperature, it has a higher thermal energy than beaker A

When we heat a substance, its temperature rises and causes an increase in the kinetic energy of its constituent molecules. Temperature is, in fact, a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules.

This means beaker B has a higher kinetic energy than beaker A

Potential energy doesn't depend on temperature. this means the potential energy of beaker A and beaker B is the same.

a. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B. This is correct.

b. Beaker A has higher thermal energy than beaker B. This is false.

c. Beaker A has higher potential energy than beaker B. This is false.

d. Beaker A has lower potential energy than beaker B. This is false

e. Beaker A has higher kinetic energy than beaker B. This is false.

svetoff [14.1K]
29.213 cm3


First, calculate the mass of the water used. You do this by subtracting the original mass of the flask from the combined mass of the water and flask, giving:60.735 g - 31.601 g = 29.134 g
So we now know we have 29.134 g of water. To calculate the volume of the flask, simply divide by the density of the water, giving:29.134 g / (0.9973 g/cm3) = 29.213 cm3
