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

Which theory of the origin of the moon would be most supported if the moon had an irregular shape, like an asteroid? impact theo
Fiesta28 [93]
<span>Its the impact theory.
It suggests that the moon resulted from the collision of two protoplanets, or embryonic worlds. One of those was the just-forming Earth, and the other was a Mars-size object called Theia. The moon then coalesced from the debris, thus giving it its irregular shape.</span>

What is the mass of an object if a 30 N force makes it accelerate at 6 m/s2
jasenka [17]

Answer:

5 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 6 m/s^2

Force = 30 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 30 / 6

mass = 5 kg

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
masya89 [10]

Answer:

When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Explanation:

option ( D )correct

A force is said to be conservative when the work done by the force in moving a particle from a point A to a point B is independent of the path followed between A and B and is the same for all the paths. The work done depends only on the particles initial and final positions. And when the initial and final position in conservative field are same the work done is said to be zero.
