The radius of Venus (from the center to just above the atmosphere) is 6050 km (6050✕103 m), and its mass is 4.9✕1024 kg. An obje

Answer:

(a) The initial speed required is 13116 m/s

(b) The escape speed is 10394 m/s

This problem involves the application of newtons laws of gravitation. The forces in action here are conservative and as a result mechanical energy is conserved.

The full calculation can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

In both parts (a) and (b) the energy conservation equation were used. Assumption was made that when the object is very far from the planet the distance from the planet's center approaches infinity and the gravitational potential energy approaches zero.

The calculation can be found below.

How quickly a leaf grows is proportional how big [ie the surface area] the leaf is. If the area of the leaf grows from 2cm2 to 3

marusya05 [52]

Answer: 9 days

Explanation:

Step 1

Let the rate of Leaf growth <em>r</em> be defined as, $\frac{Increase in area}{time taken}$ = $\frac{A1 - A}{t}$

where <em>A</em> is initial area of the leaf, <em>A1</em> is the final area of the leaf and<em> t</em> is the time taken for the increase in Area.

Express the proportional relationship in equation.

Given that rate of leaf growth, r is proportional to the surface area of the leaf A. we have r ∝ A.

r = kA, where k is the rate constant.

therefore, k = $\frac{r}{A}$

when A = 2 $cm^{2}$ , A1 = 3

so k = $\frac{\frac{3 - 2}{3}}{2}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$ ÷ 2

= 0.33 ÷ 2

k = 0.167

After calculating the rate constant k, we then find the time t when A1 is 5 $cm^{2}$

we have r = k × A1 = $\frac{A1 - A}{t}$

so, 0.167 × 2 = $\frac{5 - 2}{t}$

0.33 = $\frac{3}{t}$ .

t = 3/0.33

Therefore, t = 9 days.

A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.

pochemuha

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

$h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t = 6.55 \ s$

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

$X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m$

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print $A=0.5m^2$

Area of both the foot $A=2\times 0.5=1m^2$

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure $P=\frac{F}{A}$

$P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2$

So the pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$ when person stands on both feet.
