What is escape velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]2 years ago
6 0
<span>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!</span>

Alla [95]

Answer:

v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = v_{ox}

Initial vertical velocity= v_{oy}  (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, a_x = 0 m/s²  [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, a_y = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2

5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2

20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2

v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Part A:

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%

Explanation:

Given Data:

v=20m/s

Time =t=12 hours

In Secs:

Time=12*60*60=43200 secs

Solution:

Part A:

Distance = Speed**Time

Distance=v*t

Distance= 20*43200

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE= Energy Required-Kinetic Energy of swans

Energy Required to move= Power Required*time

Energy Required to move=200*43200=8640000 Joules

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E\ of\ Swans=\frac{1}{2} *10*(20)^2=2000\ Joules

Energy Used=ΔE=8640000 -2000

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

Fraction of Mass used=Δm/m

For This first calculate fraction of energy used:

Fraction of energy=ΔE/Energy required to move

ΔE is calculated in part B

Fraction of energy=8638000/8640000

Fraction of energy=0.99977

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Now, the relation between energies ratio and masses is:

\frac{\triangle E}{E}=\frac{\triangle m}{2m}v^2

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{v^2} *\frac{\triangle E}{E}\\\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{20^2} *0.99977

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%

A skateboarder is moving 5.25 m/s when he starts to roll up a frictionless hill. How much higher is he when his velocity has red
Taya2010 [7]
Mechanical energy E = mgh + 1/2mv²

When he starts, let h = 0 ⇒ E₁ = 1/2mv₁²
When he reaches height h ⇒ E₂ = mgh + 1/2mv₂²

Without friction, energy is conserved at all times.

E₁ = E₂
     ↓
1/2mv₁² = mgh + 1/2mv₂²
     ↓
1/2v₁² = gh + 1/2v₂²
     ↓
gh = 1/2(v₁² - v₂²)
    ↓
h = (v₁² - v₂²) / (2g)
