Answer:

Explanation:

This is a 2D problem (parabolic) so we have to think that way. We have to split up the problem into its 2 dimensions to solve it. Think "y-stuff" and "x-stuff".

In the y-stuff category:

v₀ = 0 (initial upwards velocity is 0 since we are told the penny is thrown horizontally)

Δx = -10.0 m (this displacement is negative because the penny lands 10.0 m below the point from which it was thrown)

a = -9.8 m/s/s

t = ? (we need to find the time in this dimension so we can use it in the x dimension to find the displacement, our unknown)

In the "x-stuff" category:

v₀ = 7.25 m/s (this is given)

Δx = ???

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is ALWAYS 0)

t = (we will solve for this in the y-dimension and plug it in here).

In the y dimension:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and plugging in from the y-dimension info:

-10.0=0t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2 which simplifies to

-10.0=-4.9t^2 so

t=\sqrt{\frac{-10.0}{-4.9} } which, to 2 significant digits is

t = 1.4 seconds

Now we will do the same in the x-dimension, using t = 1.4:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in the x-stuff:

Δx = 7.25(1.4)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.4)^2 Notice that the stuff after the + sign goes to 0 cuz of the multiplication of 0, so what we are left with is another form of the d = rt equation:

Δx = 7.25(1.4) + 0 so

Δx = 1.0 × 10¹ m (That's rounded correctly to 2 sig dig's: 10 m from the base of the building).

Answer:

(a) r = 1.062·R_E = \frac{531}{500} R_E

(b) r = \frac{33}{25} R_E

(c) Zero

Explanation:

Here we have escape velocity v_e given by

v_e =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} } and the maximum height given by

\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}

Therefore, when the initial speed is 0.241v_e we have

v = 0.241\times \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} } so that;

v² = 0.058081\times {\frac{2GM}{R_E} }

v² = {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }

\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r} is then

\frac{1}{2} {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}

Which gives

-\frac{0.941919}{R_E} = -\frac{1}{r} or

r = 1.062·R_E

(b) Here we have

K_i = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times v_e^2 = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m  \times \frac{2GM}{R_E} = \frac{0.241mGM}{R_E}

Therefore we put  \frac{0.241GM}{R_E} in the maximum height equation to get

\frac{0.241}{R_E} -\frac{1}{R_E} =-\frac{1}{r}

From which we get

r = 1.32·R_E

(c) The we have the least initial mechanical energy, ME given by

ME = KE - PE

Where the KE = PE required to leave the earth we have

ME = KE - KE = 0

The least initial mechanical energy to leave the earth is zero.

kenny6666 [7]

working...

Sound wave needs medium to travel

as energy which travels in this wave is because of transfer from one particle to another particle

If there is no medium then energy can not be transferred and sound wave will not travel

so in vacuum we can not listen sound

similarly here air is removed it means there is no medium inside the jar to travel the sound and hence we can not hear it

Option B is correct

Without air, the sound waves cannot travel to the ear.
