What is escape velocity ​

Physics
1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago
8 0
Escape velocity is the speed that an object needs to be traveling to break free of a planet or moon's gravity well and leave it without further propulsion. For example, a spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth needs to be going 7 miles per second, or nearly 25,000 miles per hour to leave without falling back to the surface or falling into orbit.

Answer:

 t = 23.255 s,   x = 2298.98 m,    v_y = - 227.90 m / s

Explanation:

After reading your extensive writing, we are going to solve the approach.

The initial speed of the plane is 250 miles / h and it is at an altitude of 2650 m; In general, planes fly horizontally for launch, therefore this is the initial horizontal speed.

As there is a mixture of units in different systems we are going to reduce everything to the SI system.

         v₀ₓ = 250 miles h (1609.34 m / 1 mile) (1 h / 3600 s) = 111.76 m / s

         y₀ = 2650 m

Let's set a reference system with the x-axis parallel to the ground, the y-axis is vertical. As time is a scalar it is the same for vertical and horizontal movement

Y axis  

       y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

the initial vertical velocity when the cargo is dropped is zero and when it reaches the floor the height is zero

       0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

       t = \sqrt{  \frac{2 y_o}{g} }

       t = √(2 2650/ 9.8)

       t = 23.255 s

Therefore, for the cargo to reach the desired point, it must be launched from a distance of

       x = v₀ₓ t

       x = 111.76 23.255

       x = 2298.98 m

at the point and arrival the speed is

        vₓ = v₀ₓ = 111.76

     

vertical speed is

         v_y = v_{oy} - gt

          v_y = 0 - gt

          v_y = - 9.8 23.25 555

         v_y = - 227.90 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the speed is down

in the attachment we have a diagram of the movement

What is displacement?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

In Physics, displacement is the distance and direction of the shortest path
from the starting point to the ending point, regardless of the path followed
to get there.

The area of a circular trampoline is 108.94 square feet. What is the radius of the trampoline? Round to the nearest hundredth.
djverab [1.8K]
The correct answer to this question is this one: B. 5.89 feet
<span>The area of a circular trampoline is 108.94 square feet. The radius of the trampoline is 5.89 feet.
</span>
For a circle,
A = (pi)r^2
108.94 ft^2 = (pi)r^2
r^2 = (108.94 ft^2)/(pi)
r = sqrt(108.94/pi) ft
r = 5. 89 ft

The frequency of a light wave in air is 4.6 × 10¹⁴ Hz. What is the wavelength of this wave after it enters a pool of water?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

490 nm

Explanation:

Wave length: This is the distance of a complete cycle covered by a wave.

The expression for frequency, wave length and speed is given as,

c = λf.................. Equation 1

Where c = speed of light in water, λ = wave length of light, f = frequency of light.

Also,

n = v/c............. Equation 2

Where n = refractive index of water, v = speed of sound in air.

Making c the subject of the equation,

c = v/n.............. Equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

v/n = λf

make  λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/nf............... Equation 4

Given: f = 4.6 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Constant: n = 1.33, v = 3.0×10⁸ m/s.

Substitute into equation 4

λ = 3.0×10⁸ /(1.33×4.6 × 10¹⁴ )

λ = 0.49×10⁻⁶ m

λ = 490 nm.

Hence the right option is 490 nm

Upon impact, bicycle helmets compress, thus lowering the potentially dangerous acceleration experienced by the head. A new kind
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

-15.3g

Explanation:

We can find the acceleration by using the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

where:

v = 0 is the final velocity (the headform comes to rest)

u = 6.0 m/s is the initial velocity before the impact

d = 12.0 cm = 0.12 m is the distance covered during the impact

a is the acceleration

Solving for a, we get

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0^2-6^2}{2(0.12)}=-150.0 m/s^2

Where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

Now we know that

g=9.8 m/s^2

So we can express the acceleration in units of g:

a=\frac{-150.0}{9.8}=-15.3g
