Calculate the escape velocity

Physics
1 answer:
o-na [289]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

v = 2.38 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Escape velocity, v = √(2gR) where g = acceleration due to gravity on planet and R = radius of planet.

Since it is given that the weight of the man on the moon is 1/6 his weight on earth, and g' = acceleration due to gravity on moon and g = acceleration due to gravity on earth and m = mass of man,

mg' = mg/6

g' = g/6

Since g = 9.8 m/s²,

g'= 9.8 m/s² ÷ 6

g' = 1.63 m/s²

The escape velocity of the moon is thus  v = √(2g'R) where R = radius of moon = 1.737 × 10⁶ m.

Substituting these into v, we have

v = √(2g'R)

v = √(2 × 1.63 m/s² × 1.737 × 10⁶ m)

v = √[5.663 × 10⁶ (m/s)²]

v = 2.38 × 10³ m/s

____ [38]

Answer:

a)  p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ kg m / s , b)  p = 35 .18 10⁻¹⁹  kg m / s ,

c)  p_correst / p_approximate = 7.09

Explanation:

a) The moment is defined in classical mechanics as

                 p = m v

Let's calculate its value

               p = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 0.99 3. 10⁸

               p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ kg m / s

b) in special relativity the moment is defined as

               p = m v / √(1 –v² / c²)

Let's calculate

                p = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 0.99 10⁸/ √(1- 0.99²)

                p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ / 0.141

                p = 35 .18 10⁻¹⁹  kg m / s

c) the relationship between the two values ​​is

            p_correst / p_approximate = 35.18 / 4.96

            p_correst / p_approximate = 7.09

Eddi Din [679]

Personal space differs from culture to culture, though it is widely acknowledged that Europe and U.S have bigger personal space requirements that their counterparts in Asia.

Hakeem might not realize it but it’s commonly accepted for Americans to have a distance between four to twelve feet between one another in social settings, especially in professional ones. A distance of two feet is only acceptable if the individual is part of the person’s inner circle, such as friends and family.
