What is escape velocity?

1 answer:

6 0

It is the lowest velocity which a body must have in order to escape the gravitational attraction of a particular planet or other object.

Every planet has their own corresponding escape velocities. Example - Earth has escape velocity of 11.2 Km/s. It means, if you want to leave the Earth's gravitational field then it's the lowest speed which you need to acquire otherwise you wouldn't do that!

Hope this helps!

A particle of mass 4.5 × 10-8 kg and charge +5.4 μC is traveling due east. It enters perpendicularly a magnetic field whose magn

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

0.00970 s

Explanation:

The centripetal force that causes the charge to move in a circular motion = The force exerted on the charge due to magnetic field

Force due to magnetic field = qvB sin θ

q = charge on the particle = 5.4 μC

v = velocity of the charge

B = magnetic field strength = 2.7 T

θ = angle between the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field = 90°, sin 90° = 1

F = qvB

Centripetal force responsible for circular motion = mv²/r = mvw

where w = angular velocity.

The centripetal force that causes the charge to move in a circular motion = The force exerted on the charge due to magnetic field

mvw = qvB

mw = qB

w = (qB/m) = (5.4 × 10⁻⁶ × 2.7)/(4.5 × 10⁻⁸)

w = 3.24 × 10² rad/s

w = 324 rad/s

w = (angular displacement)/time

Time = (angular displacement)/w

Angular displacement = π rads (half of a circle; 2π/2)

Time = (π/324) = 0.00970 s

Hope this Helps!!!

Helen [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock will strike the ground $2.42s$ earlier than the dropped rock.

Explanation:

Known Data

$y_{i}=300m$

$y_{f}=0m$
$v_{iD}=0m/s$
$v_{iT}=-29m/s$ , it is negative as is directed downward

Time of the dropped Rock

We can use $y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ , to find the total time of fall, so $0=300m-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})t_{D}^{2}}{2}$ , then clearing for $t_{D}$ .

$t_{D}=\sqrt[2]{\frac{300m}{4.9m/s^{2}}} =\sqrt[2]{61.22s^{2}} =7.82s$

Time of the Thrown Rock

We can use $y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ , to find the total time of fall, so $0=300-29t_{T}-\frac{(9.8)t_{T}^{2}}{2}$ , then, $0=-4.9t_{T}^{2}-29t_{T}+300$ , as it is a second-grade polynomial, we find that its positive root is $t_{T}=5.4s$

Finally, we can find how much earlier does the thrown rock strike the ground, so $t_{E}=t_{D}-t_{T}=7.82s-5.4s=2.42s$
