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

Based on illustrations of magnetic field lines, where could an object be placed so it would not experience a magnetic force
tiny-mole [99]

<u>Halfway</u><u> between the like poles of two magnets, because the field lines bend away and do not enter this area.</u>

How does a magnetic field diagram show where the field is strongest?

  • The magnetic field lines do not ever cross.
  • The lines include arrowheads to indicate the direction of the force exerted by a magnetic north pole.
  • The closer the lines are to the poles, the stronger the magnetic field (thus the magnetic field from a bar magnet is highest closest to the poles).

Where is magnetic field the strongest and weakest on a magnet?

  • The bar magnet's magnetic field is strongest at its core and weakest between its two poles.
  • The magnetic field lines are densest immediately outside the bar magnet and least dense in the core.

Which two locations on the magnet would have the greatest attractive forces?

  • Inside the magnet itself, the field lines run from the south pole to the north pole.
  • The magnetic field is strongest in areas of greatest density of magnetic field lines, or areas of the greatest magnetic flux density.

Which statement is true about crystal lattice energy?
irinina [24]

The answer is:

It is a measure of the strength of the bonds between ions.

Lattice energy is an estimate of the strength of the bonds formed by ionic compounds.

The first two choices are wrong because it is actually the opposite.

  • As the ion size increases, lattice energy <u>decreases</u>.
  • As charge of ions increases, lattice energy <u>increases</u>

As for the other third option, it is wrong because lattice energy is the energy RELEASED not absorbed.
