Answer:
Explanation:
The system is made up of three body system which are the boulder, earth and the moon also the sum of potential ad kinetic energies are assumed to be the same also note that the boulder was launched from the moon at an initial velocity
A ) Minimum speed of the boulder for it to reach the earth = 2.3 km/s
B) ignoring air resistance the impact speed on earth of a boulder launched at this minimum speed = 11 km/s
find attached the solution in details
Answer:
Explanation:
Close to Earth's surface, the force of gravity that pulls an object towards the ground is
(2)
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is close to Earth's surface
This is an approximation of the general formula of gravity valid only close to Earth's surface. The more general formula is
(1)
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the object's mass
r is the distance of the object from Earth's center
At the Earth's surface,
r = R (Earth's radius), and by calling the following factor
we see that eq.(1) becomes eq.(2).
Answer:
distance cover is = 102.53 m
Explanation:
Given data:
speed of object is 17.1 m/s
from equation of motion we know that
where d_1 is distance covered in time t1
so=
where d_2 is distance covered in time t2
distance cover is = 213.31 - 110.78 = 102.53 m
