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:

Explanation:

electric field between plates

=  surface charge density / ε₀

= 108 x 10⁻¹² / 8.85 x 10⁻¹² (ε₀ = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² )

= 12.20 V/ m

Electric potential diff

= electric field x distance between plates

=  12.20 x 17 x 10⁻³ V

A jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

91.84 m/s²

Explanation:

velocity, v = 600 m/s

acceleration, a = 4 g = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 m/s^2

Let the radius of the loop is r.

he experiences a centripetal force.

centripetal acceleration,

a = v² / r

39.2 x r = 600 x 600

r = 3600 / 39.2

r = 91.84 m/s²

Thus, the radius of the loop is 91.84 m/s².

Problem 1: Spherical mirrorConsider a spherical mirror of radius 2 m, and rays which go parallel to the optic axis. What is thep
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1) iii i= 1m, 2)  iii and iv, 3)  i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

Explanation:

Problem 1

For this problem we use two equations the equations of the focal distance in mirrors

              f = r / 2

              f = 2/2

             f = 1 m

The builder's equation

           1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, "o and i" are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

For a ray to arrive parallel to the surface it must come from infinity, whereby o = ∞ and 1 / o = 0

              1 / f = 0 + 1 / i

              i = f

              i = 1 m

The image is formed at the focal point

The correct answer is iii

Problem 2

For this problem we have two possibilities the lens is convergent or divergent, in both cases the back face (R₂) must be flat

Case 1 Flat lens - convex (convergent)

              R₂ = infinity

              R₁ > 0

Cas2 Flat-concave (divergent) lens

             R₂ = infinity

              R₁ <0

Why the correct answers are iii and iv

Problem 3

For a thick lens the rays parallel to the first surface fall in their focal length (f₁), this is the exit point for the second surface whereby the distance to the object is o = L –f₁, let's apply the constructor equation to this second surface

          1 / f₂ = 1 / (L-f₁) + 1 / i

          1 / i = 1 / f₂ - 1 / (L-f₁)

           1 / i = (L-f₁-f₂) / f₂ (L-f₁)

           i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

This is the image of the rays that enter parallel to the first surface

A 2.0-Coulomb bead is given 20 Joules of electric potential energy by lifting it from the "ground" to point A. If a second bead
Katen [24]

Answer:

40 J

Explanation:

c_1 = 4 C

c_2 = 2 C

U_1 = 20 J

The potential energy is directly proportional to the charge of the particle

U\propto c

\dfrac{U_2}{U_1}=\dfrac{c_2}{c_1}\\\Rightarrow U_2=\dfrac{U_1c_2}{c_1}\\\Rightarrow U_2=\dfrac{20\times 4}{2}\\\Rightarrow U_2=40\ J

The potential energy expected is 40 J

Let's start by calculating what acceleration the rocket must produce to launch into earth orbit. In order to attain orbit around
blondinia [14]

Answer:

30.56 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that In order to attain orbit around earth, the ATLAS V rocket must accelerate up to a speed of about 7700 meters per second in about 4.2 minutes.

The average acceleration that is required to accomplish this will be

Average acceleration = change in velocity / time

Average acceleration = 7700/ 4.2 × 60

Average acceleration = 7700/252

Average acceleration = 30.56 m/s^2
