Answer:
K = G Mm / 9R
Explanation:
Expression for escape velocity V_e = 
Kinetic energy at the surface = 1/2 m V_e ²
= 1/2 x m x 2GM/R
GMm/R
Potential energy at the surface
= - GMm/R
Total energy = 0
At height 9R ( 8R from the surface )
potential energy
= - G Mm / 9R
Kinetic energy = K
Total energy will be zero according to law of conservation of mechanical energy
so
K - G Mm / 9R = 0
K = G Mm / 9R
Previous rocks melt and collide and to form igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks disintegrate due to weather disruptions and get carried away by water, where they form sedimentary rock strata by lithification.
Igneous and sedimentary change by heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks melt and become igneous rocks.
Answer:
972 J
Explanation:
At the bottom, all the gravitational potential energy was converted into kinetic energy. If you calculate the GPE, its value will be the same that the KE at the bottom. The GPE can be calculated this way:
GPE = mass×gravity×heigth
GPE = 2.2×9.8×45.08 ≈ 972
