Answer:
vₐ = v_c
Explanation:
To calculate the escape velocity let's use the conservation of energy
starting point. On the surface of the planet
Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v_c² - G Mm / R
final point. At a very distant point
Em_f = U = - G Mm / R₂
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v_c² - G Mm / R = - G Mm / R₂
v_c² = 2 G M (1 /R - 1 /R₂)
if we consider the speed so that it reaches an infinite position R₂ = ∞
v_c =
now indicates that the mass and radius of the planet changes slightly
M ’= M + ΔM = M (
)
R ’= R + ΔR = R (
)
we substitute
vₐ =
let's use a serial expansion
√(1 ±x) = 1 ± ½ x +…
we substitute
vₐ = v_ c (
)
we make the product and keep the terms linear
vₐ = v_c
Maybe the water wasnt stable enough and probably couldnt read the water level correctly
a. Independent variable: <em>TIME
</em>
b. Dependent variable: <em>DISTANCE</em>
Divide
(the distance covered in some period of time)
by
(the time taken to cover the distance).
The quotient is the average speed during that period of time.
