Answer:

h=25.52\times10^6 m

Explanation:

Initial speed, v = 10 x 10^3 m/s

Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

Maximum from the surface of earth, h = ?

Let  m = Mass of the projectile

Solution:

Potential energy at maximum height =  ( Potential + Kinetic energy ) at the surface

-G M m / ( R + h )=- G M m / R + (1/2) m v^2

- G M / ( R + h ) = - G M / R + (1/2) v^2

-2\times G M / ( R + h ) = ( - 2 G M / R ) + v^2

-2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}/ ( R + h )

=( (- 2\times 6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}) /(6.4\times10^6)} +10000^2

=-2.50625\times10^7 J

=- 8\times10^{14} / ( R + h )=-2.50625\times 10^7

R+h=31.92\times10^{6}

h=31.92\times10^{6}-6.4\times10^6

h=25.52\times10^6 m

Newton's first law is sometimes known as the law of inertia. It is the law that states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts upon it. For example, if I was working with a wrench in space an it slipped, it would keep on going in one direction with a constant speed unless it hits something. Hope this helps!

Estimate the total number of bacteria and other prokaryotes in the biosphere of the earth. (assume the bacteria are found to a d
Fofino [41]
Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

what does the presence of the mosesaurus fossils tell the initial location and positioning of soyth america africa and antartica
kicyunya [14]
The remains of Mesosaurus- a crocodile-like reptilian tells United States that South America, Africa and Antarctica were once joined along which implies they were once an enormous continent. However, because of the idea called the geological phenomenon, this one massive continent began to break so making individual continents.
