Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy on the surface of the earth

= - GMm/ R

Potential at height h

=  - GMm/ (R+h)

Potential difference

= GMm/ R -  GMm/ (R+h)

= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )

= GMmh / R (R +h)

This will be the energy needed  to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.

Extra  energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h

= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h

= 1/2 x potential energy at height h

= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)

Answer:

28 cm and 32 cm

Explanation:

1. The spring pendulum hangs vertically, oscillates harmonic with amplitude 2cm and angular frequency 20 rad/s. The natural length of

a spring is 30cm. What is the minimum and maximum length of the spring during the oscillation? Take g = 10m/s2.

As the amplitude is 2 cm and the natural length is 30 cm. So, it oscillates between 30 -2 = 28 cm to 30 + 2 = 32 cm.

So, the minimum length is 28 cm and the maximum length is 32 cm.

Design a solution that can monitor and minimize the melting of sea ice caused by human activity
dedylja [7]

Answer:

CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning should be minimized at all cost. The CO2 are gotten when the carbons from hydrocarbons react with air(oxygen). This gas erodes the ozone layer which makes the melting of ice caps faster due to increased amount of heat radiations on the earth. This is the only best and permanent solution to the reduction of the amount of heat rays on the earth which is a global problem.

Objects which reflects back the sunrays could also be inserted into the sea to prevent the melting of the ice caps.

A bus travelled 160 km in 4 hours, another bus travelled 175 km in 5 hours, which bus moved faster? ​
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Answer:

Bus travels 160 km in 4 hours

Speed of bus = 160/4 = 40 km/hr

Train travels 320 km in 5 hours

Speed of train = 320/5 = 64 km/hr

In one hour, bus travels 40 km and train travels 64 km.

Ratio = 40:64 = 5:8

Un avión vuela a una velocidad de 900 km/h. Si tarda en viajar desde Canarias hasta la península 180 s ¿qué distancia recorre en
wel

Answer:

El avión recorrió 45 km en los 180 s.

Explanation:

La relación entre velocidad, distancia y tiempo se da de la siguiente manera;

Velocidad= \dfrac{Distancia}{Hora}

Por lo cual los parámetros dados son los siguientes;

Velocidad = 900 km/h = 250 m / s

Tiempo = 180 s

Estamos obligados a calcular la distancia recorrida

De la ecuación para la velocidad dada arriba, tenemos;

Distancia recorrida = Velocidad pf viaje × Tiempo de viaje

Distancia recorrida = 900 km/h × 180 s = 900

Distancia recorrida = 900 km/h × 1 h/60 min × 1 min/60 s × 180 s = 45 km

Por lo tanto, el avión viajó 45 km en 180 s.
