Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

mass of the three planet is same

radius of the planets are

R₁ > R₂ > R₃

expression of escape velocity

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

from the above expression we can clearly conclude that the escape velocity is inversely proportional to the radius of the Planet.

radius of planet increases escape velocity decreases.

Hence planet 3 has the smallest radius so the escape velocity of the third planet will be maximum.

The correct answer is option C

what is your weight in newtons if your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules and your mass is 60 kg
Darina [25.2K]

Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.

If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.

A jet plane lands with a speed of 100 m/s and can
kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) t = 20 [s]

b) Can't land

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations, it is of great importance to note that when the plane lands it slows down until it reaches rest, ie the final speed will be zero.

a)

v_{f}=v_{i}-(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 5 [m/s^2]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the aircraft slows down as it stops.

0 = 100 - 5*t

5*t = 100

t = 20 [s]

b)

Now we can find the distance using the following kinematics equation.

x -x_{o}=(v_{o}*t)+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}

x - xo = distance [m]

x -xo = (0*20) + (0.5*5*20^2)

x - xo =  1000 [m]

1000 [m] = 1 [km]

And the runaway is 0.8 [km], therefore the jetplane needs 1 [km] to land. So the jetpalne can't land

To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.50 kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm throug
Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

\tau = Fr

Where,

F = Force

r = Radius

Replacing we have that,

\tau = Fr

\tau = 21cm (\frac{1m}{100cm})* 550N

\tau = 11.55Nm

The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore

I = 0.25Kg\cdot m^2 +(2.5kg)(0.24m)^2

I = 0.394kg\cdot m^2

Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore

\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}

\alpha = \frac{11.55}{0.394}

\alpha = 29.3 rad/s^2

PART B)

The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians (\pi / 3), therefore

W = \tau \theta

W = 11.5* \frac{\pi}{3}

W = 12.09J
