Answer:11 km/s

Explanation:

Given

Escape velocity at the surface of earth is 11 km/s

Escape velocity is given by

V_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Escape velocity at the surface of earth

11=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}--------------------1

If Escape velocity is three times and the radius is also the three times

V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2G(3M)}{3R}}

V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=V_e

i.e. V_e_2=11 km/s

Roger drives his car at a constant speed of 80 km/hr. How far can he travel in 2 hrs. and 30 minutes?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

200 km/hr

11) A sled is initially given a shove up a frictionless 35º incline. It reaches a maximum height of 2.5
Andrej [43]

Answer:

7 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must use the conservation of energy.

K1 +U1=K2+U2

That math speak for, initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy.

The initial PE (potential energy) is 0 because it hasn't been raised in the air yet. The final KE (kinetic energy) is 0 because it isn't moving. This gives the following:

KE1= \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}}

PE2=mgh

K1=U2

\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} =mgh

Solve for v

v=\sqrt{2gh}

Input known values and you get 7 m/s.

The three branches of science earth and physicals
seropon [69]
<span>Science is always defined as the body of knowledge and linked to something related to the physical world, phenomena and lives of everything that exist on Earth. Science is categorized in various ways.  Pure, practical or theoretical, is the largest distinction of  science or whether science is applied.  Generally, pure science is subdivided into Physical sciences, Earth sciences, and Life sciences.  Physical sciences deal with energy and matter, Earth sciences explain Earth’s phenomena, to the solar system where it belongs and its atmosphere. And finally, life sciences describe internal processes of living organisms, its relationship to each other and to its environment.</span>
