Answer:

The minimum speed = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Explanation:

The minimum speed that the rocket must have for it to escape into space is called its escape velocity. If the speed is not attained, the gravitational pull of the planet would pull down the rocket back to its surface. Thus the launch would not be successful.

The minimum speed can be determined by;

                      Escape velocity = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where: G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet X, and R is its radius.

If the appropriate values of the variables are substituted into the expression, the value of the minimum speed required can be determined.

An equation relating the length that you measure l to the ship's proper length l0  is  

l =l0/y. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is an equation relating the length that you measure l to the ship's proper length l0?</h3>

Generally, Any object's length in a moving frame will look shortened or contracted when seen in that direction. The Lorentz transformation may be used to determine the amount of contraction.

In conclusion, To use the Lorentz Lorentz transformation, the length Lo-x2 - may be determined if it is measured in the moving reference frame. Hence the Resultant l = l0/y.

Both segments of the wire are made of the same metal. Current I1 flows into segment 1 from the left. How does current I1 in segm
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

current I1 = current I2

Explanation:

since the wire is made up of the same material, from Kirchoff's current law sum of currents entering a particular node or segment of wire is equals to the sum of currents leaving that particular node or segment of wire
