A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R)
This is the expression for escape velocity.
Answer:
156.67 m/s
0.45676 times the speed of sound
Explanation:
Distance from the ground = 23.5 km = 23500 m
Time taken by the blast waves to reach the ground = 
Spedd of the wave would be

The velocity of the blast wave is 156.67 m/s
v = Velocity of sound = 343 m/s

The blast wave is 0.45676 times the speed of sound
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are considered nonrenewable because they can not be replenished in a short period of time
<span>speed of slower=x; distance in 6 hours is 6x
speed of larger=2x; distance in 6 hours is 12x
12x-6x=204 miles
</span><span> 6x=204
x=34 mph slower, 204 miles in 6 hours.
2x=68 mph, faster, 408 miles in 6 hours, and difference is 204 miles</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
The time period of geosynchronous satellite must be equal to T .
The radius of its orbit will be ( R+ h )
orbital velocity V₀ = 
Time period T = 2π( R + h ) / V₀
= 2π( R + h ) x 
= R +h
h =
- R.
