Answer: 3.63 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity equation for a craft launched from the Earth surface is:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Where:

V_{e} is the escape velocity

G=6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} is the Universal Gravitational constant

M=5.976(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

R=6371 km=6371000 m is the Earth's radius

However, in this situation the craft would be launched at a height h=54000 km=54000000 m over the Eart's surface with a space elevator. Hence, we have to add this height to the equation:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2})(5.976(10)^{24}kg)}{6371000 m+54000000 m}}

Finally:

V_{e}=3633.86 m/s \approx 3.63 km/s

Tamiku [17]
The correct answer is: 
<span>C) The actual frequency of the siren does not change despite appearances.

In fact, Bob will observe an increase in the apparent frequency as the emergency vehicle approaches him, while Jill will observe a decrease in the apparent frequency as the emergency vehicle moves away from him, because of the Doppler effect (the relative velocity between the observer and the source of the sound is changing), but this effect involves the apparent frequency, while the real frequency of the siren will remain the same.</span>

The depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench is 36,198 ft. What is the gauge pressure at this depth
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × 10^{8} Pa

Explanation:

The pressure at the depth is given by,

P = h \rho g

Where, P = pressure at the depth

h = depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench = 36,198 ft = 11033.15 meter

\rho = density of water = 1000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

P = 11033.15 × 9.8 × 1000

P = 1.08 × 10^{8} Pa

Thus, the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × 10^{8} Pa
