Answer:
v = 10 m/s
Explanation:
given,
Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg
Power delivered = 100 kW
angle made with horizontal = 30°
acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
largest speed car can sustain = ?
we know,
Power = Force x velocity
P = F x v
P = mg sinθ x v
P = mg sin 30° x v
P = 0.5 mg x v
v = 10 m/s
hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply law of conservation of mechanical energy for projectile being thrown .
Total energy on the surface = total energy at height h required
a ) At height h , velocity = .351 x ( 2 GM/R x h )
h = .14 R
b )
h = .54 R
c ) least initial mechanical energy required at launch if the projectile is to escape Earth
= GMm / R + 1/2 m (2GM/R)
= 0
