The escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with which an object of mass m must move to escape from the gravitational

attraction of a much larger body, such as a planet of total mass M. The escape velocity is a function of the distance of the object from the center of the planetR, but unless otherwise specified this distance is taken to be the radius of the planet because it addresses the question "How fast does my rocket have to go to escape from the surface of the planet?" What is the total mechanical energy Etotal of the object at a very large (i.e., infinite) distance from the planet? Find the escape velocity ve for an object of mass m that is initially at a distance R from the center of a planet of mass M. Assume that R≥Rplanet, the radius of the planet, and ignore air resistance. Express the escape velocity in terms of R, M, m, andG, the universal gravitational constant.

Answer:

v = √2G M_{earth} / R

Explanation:

For this problem we use energy conservation, the energy initiated is potential and kinetic and the final energy is only potential (infinite r)

        Eo = K + U = ½ m1 v² - G m1 m2 / r1

        Ef = - G m1 m2 / r2

When the body is at a distance R> Re, for the furthest point (r2) let's call it Rinf

       Eo = Ef

       ½ m1v² - G m1 M_{earth} / R = - G m1 M_{earth} / R

      v² = 2G M_{earth} (1 / R - 1 / Rinf)

If we do Rinf = infinity     1 / Rinf = 0

       v = √2G M_{earth} / R

      Ef = = - G m1 m2 / R

The mechanical energy is conserved  

 

      Em = -G m1  M_{earth} / R

      Em = - G m1  M_{earth} / R

     R = int        ⇒  Em = 0

uysha [10]

Answer:

q = 4.04×10^-12C

n = 2.53×10^7

Explanation:

1. Electrostatic force on charge due to electrical field E is F = qE

Gravitational force due to weight of drop of mass M is F = mg, when net force is zero we have to find the charges on the drop.

2. Charge on drop: since gravitational force is acting downward, electric field is acting upward and we equate both equations.

Therefore, Fg = Fe

qe = mg

q = mg/E

q = 3.50×10^-9kg×9.8m/s²/8480N/c

q = 4.04 × 10^-12

3. Number of protons by quantitization law

n = q/e

n = 4.04× 10^-12/8480

n = 2.53× 10^7
