Answer:
v = √ 2 G M/
Explanation:
To find the escape velocity we can use the concept of mechanical energy, where the initial point is the surface of the earth and the end point is at the maximum distance from the projectile to the Earth.
Initial
Em₀ = K + U₀
Final
=
The kinetic energy is k = ½ m v²
The gravitational potential energy is U = - G m M / r
r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth
How energy is conserved
Em₀ =
½ mv² - GmM / = -GmM / r
v² = 2 G M (1 / – 1 / r)
v = √ 2GM (1 / – 1 / r)
The escape velocity is that necessary to take the rocket to an infinite distance (r = ∞), whereby 1 /∞ = 0
v = √ 2GM /
Answer:
I would say that is false. Science can only be perfect after at least some sort of scientific communication and interaction.
Given mass= 1kg
Weight on earth = mg(gravity of earth) = 9.8N
weight on moon = mg(gravity of moon)= 1.62N
weight on outer space mg(gravity outer space = 0) = 0N
Answer:
A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth
Explanation:
The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.
Let's see instead the names of the other options:
B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth --> this point is called apogee
C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun --> this point is called perihelion
D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name
