I don’t know how air would be an insulator so I’m guessing that one isn’t

A rocket has landed on planet x, which has half the radius of earth. An astronaut onboard the rocket weighs twice as much on pla

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Option (c) u0

Explanation:

The escape velocity has a formula as:

V = √(2gR)

Where V is the escape velocity,

g is the acceleration due to gravity

R is the radius of the earth.

Now, from the question, we were told that the escape velocity for the rocket taking off from earth is u0 i.e

V(earth) = u0

V(earth) = √(2gR)

u0 = √(2gR) => For the earth

Now, let us calculate the escape velocity for the rocket taking off from planet x. This is illustrated below below:

g(planet x) = 2g (earth) => since the weight of the astronaut is twice as much on planet x as on earth

R(planet x) = 1/2 R(earth) => planet x has half the radius of earth

V(planet x) =?

Applying the formula V = √(2gR), the escape velocity on planet x is obtained as follow:

V(planet x) = √(2g(x) x R(x))

V(planet x) = √(2 x 2g x 1/2R)

V(planet x) = √(2 x g x R)

V(planet x) = √(2gR)

The expression obtained for the escape velocity on planet x i.e V(planet x) = √(2gR), is exactly the same as that obtained for the earth i.e V(earth) = √(2gR)

Therefore,

V(planet x) = V(earth) = √(2gR)

But from the question, V(earth) is u0

Therefore,

V(planet x) = V(earth) = √(2gR) = u0

So, the escape velocity on planet x is u0

A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?

belka [17]

Answer:

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

v = d / t m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

v = 24 / 8

= 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350s. ignore air resistance.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

a. 0.6 m b. 0.385 m c. 3.6 m/s at 287.78° to the horizontal

Explanation:

a. Using s = ut - 1/2gt² for motion under gravity where s = vertical distance = height of table, u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s, t = time of flight = 0.350 s and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting these these values into s and taking the top of the table as position 0 m, we have.

0 - s = 0t - 1/2gt²

-s = -1/2gt²

s = 1/2gt²

s = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (0.350 s)²

s = 0.6 m

b. Using d = v't where d = horizontal distance from table, v' = horizontal velocity of book = 1.10 m/s and t = time of flight = 0.350 s

d = v't = 1.10 m/s × 0.350 s = 0.385 m

c. Using v² = u² - 2gs where u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s and g = 9.8 m/s², s = -0.6 m (negative since we are at the bottom and 0 m is at the top)and v = final vertical velocity of book

v² = u² - 2gs

= 0 - 2 × 9.8 m/s² × (-0.6 m)

= 11.76 m²/s²

v = √11.76 m/s

= 3.43 m/s

So, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is V = √(v² + v'²)

= √((3.43 m/s)² + (1.10 m/s)'²)

= √(11.76 m²/s² + 1.21 m²/s²)

= √12.97 m²/s²

= 3.6 m/s

Its direction Ф = tan⁻¹(-v/v') since v is in the negative y direction

= tan⁻¹(-3.43 m/s/1.10 m/s)

= tan⁻¹(-3.1182)

= -72.22°

Ф = -72.22°+ 360 = 287.78° since it is in the third quadrant

If the speedometer of your car reads a constant speedometer of your car reads a constant speed of 40km/hr , can you say the car

Harrizon [31]

I think u can say thats a constant velocity, but remember if ur turning, or going around a curve, that is also changing velocity. Hope this helps have a great day!
