Answer:  total mechanical energy of -4.6 x 10^10 j. 

Explanation: the planet express is in a circular orbit around the earth and has a total mechanical energy of -4.6 x 10^10 j.

The total mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and the kinetic energy.

For the rocket to experience the escape from earth, the total work done will be equal to maximum kinetic energy.

According to conservative of energy, maximum kinetic energy is equal to the total mechanical energy.

The work must be provided by the planet expresss rockets in order to completley escape earth will be equal to  total mechanical energy of -4.6 x 10^10 j.

A 55 newton force applied on an object moves the object 10 meters in the same direction as the force. What is the value of work
kifflom [539]

Answer: Option D: 5.5×10²Joules

Explanation:

Work done is the product of applied force and displacement of the object in the direction of force.

W = F.s = F s cosθ

It is given that the force applied is, F = 55 N

The displacement in the direction of force, s = 10 m

The angle between force and displacement, θ = 0°

Thus, work done on the object:

W = 55 N × 10 m × cos 0° = 550 J = 5.5 × 10² J

Hence, the correct option is D.

(b) Can the speed of a rocket exceed the exhaust speed of the fuel? Explain.
muminat

<u>Yes. The speed of a rocket can exceed the exhaust speed of the fuel.</u>

How this is explained?

  • The thrust of the rocket does not depend on the relative speed of the gases or the relative speed of the rocket.
  • It depends on conservation of momentum.

What is conservation of momentum?

  • Conservation of momentum, general law of physics according to which the quantity called momentum that characterizes motion never changes in an isolated collection of objects; that is, the total momentum of a system remains constant.
  • Momentum is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity and is equivalent to the force required to bring the object to a stop in a unit length of time.
  • For any array of several objects, the total momentum is the sum of the individual momenta.
  • There is a peculiarity, however, in that momentum is a vector, involving both the direction and the magnitude of motion, so that the momenta of objects going in opposite directions can cancel to yield an overall sum of zero.

To know more about conservation of momentum, refer:

Answer:

12 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

  • The time starts when the front of the train first gets on the bridge, and when the back end clears the bridge.
  • Thus we are calculating the distance of 600 meters in 50 seconds.

600m \div 50s = 12 \frac{m}{s}
