Plugging in for the Earth's mass and for G, we have 11.2 km/s for the escape velocity for an object launched from the Earth's surface. This is about 25,000 miles per hour

Recall some things you already know about projectile motion. Does a force in the vertical direction affect the horizontal compon
azamat

Answer:

vertical force cannot change the velocity on the x-axis.   t =x/v₀ₓ

Explanation:

The force is a vector magnitude, so the forces on the x-axis affect the acceleration on this axis. Consequently a vertical force cannot change the velocity on the x-axis.

     F_{y} = m g

    Fₓ = 0

The horizontal velocity in projectile motion is constant, if we neglect the air resistance, so it can be used to find the time of a horizontal displacement

       x = v₀ₓ t

       t =x/v₀ₓ

The only magnitude that is the same for both movements is the time that is a scalar

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

0.00493 m/s

Explanation:

T = Temperature of the isotope = 85 nK

R = Gas constant = 8.341 J/mol K

M = Molar mass of isotope = 86.91 g/mol

Root Mean Square speed is given by

v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 8.314\times 85\times 10^{-9}}{86.91\times 10^{-3}}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.00493\ m/s

The Root Mean Square speed is 0.00493 m/s

Andre is studying snails and how fast they travel. He observes three groups of snails containing four snails each. Here are the
Olin [163]
The material that the snails are moving on affects their speed. On a smooth material, (petri dish) the snails moved the fastest. On a rough material (sandpaper) the snails moved the slowest. On dirt, a compromise between smooth and rough, the snails moved at a medium pace. The material and possibly friction affect this.

Is the substance an atom or a molecule?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A pair of oxygen atoms is a molecule of oxygen. A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that exists independently. Molecules of most elements are made up of only one of atom of that element. Oxygen, along with nitrogen, hydrogen, and chlorine are made up of two atoms.
