Answer:
Explanation:
The system is made up of three body system which are the boulder, earth and the moon also the sum of potential ad kinetic energies are assumed to be the same also note that the boulder was launched from the moon at an initial velocity
A ) Minimum speed of the boulder for it to reach the earth = 2.3 km/s
B) ignoring air resistance the impact speed on earth of a boulder launched at this minimum speed = 11 km/s
find attached the solution in details
All of them are examples of energy being transferred by waves<span />
Whenever we move, we alter the rate at which we move into the future. This statement is true.
So this is dealing with the conservation of energy. So you set kinetic energy equal to potential energy, so it looks like this:
1/2mv^2=mgh. The m's cancel out, so it is 1/2v^2=gh.
To find out what the height h is, divide g on both sides, so...
h=0.5v^2/g. v=22m/s, g=9.81m/s^2, so h=(0.5)(22^2)/(9.81)=24.67m
