Answer:

2917.4 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Gravitational acceleration of the Moon (g) = 0.25 times the gravitational acceleration of the earth

Radius (r) of the Moon = 1737 Km

Escape velocity (v) =?

Next, we shall determine the gravitational acceleration of the Moon. This can be obtained as follow:

Gravitational acceleration of the earth = 9.8 m/s²

Gravitational acceleration of the Moon (g) = 0.25 times the gravitational acceleration of the earth

= 0.25 × 9.8 = 2.45 m/s²

Next, we shall convert 1737 Km to metres (m). This can be obtained as follow:

1 Km = 1000 m

Therefore,

1737 Km = 1737 Km × 1000 m / 1 Km

1737 Km = 1737000 m

Thus, 1737 Km is equivalent to 1737000 m

Finally, we shall determine the escape velocity of the rocket as shown below:

Gravitational acceleration of the Moon (g) = 2.45 m/s²

Radius (r) of the moon = 1737000 m

Escape velocity (v) =?

v = √2gr

v = √(2 × 2.45 × 1737000)

v = √8511300

v = 2917.4 m/s

Thus, the escape velocity is 2917.4 m/s

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

65.625 m/s

Explanation:

$F=20\times 10^9 Hz$

$\Delta F=F_r-F_t=4750 Hz$

c = Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Relative speed

$v=\frac{\Delta F}{2F}\times c\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{4750}{2\times 20\times 10^9}\times 3\times 10^8\\\Rightarrow v=35.625\ m/s$

Relative speed = 35.625 m/s

Velocity of speeder = Velocity of police car + Relative speed

⇒Velocity of speeder = 30 + 35.625 = 65.625 m/s

∴ Velocity of speeder is 65.625 m/s

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The ocean is 6485.6m deep when measured from the vessel

Explanation:

v=1474m/s

t=8.88s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

$velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\vt=2d\\d=\frac{vt}{2}$

$d=\frac{1474*8.8}{2}$

d= 6485.6m

An object is projected with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building that has height H. The initial velocity of

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity u = V₀ in upward direction so it will be negative

u = - V₀

Displacement s = H . It is downwards so it will be positive

Acceleration = g ( positive as it is also downwards )

Using the formula

v² = u² + 2 g s

v² = (- V₀ )² + 2 g H

= V₀² + 2 g H .

v = √ ( V₀² + 2 g H )

crimeas [40]

Answer:

(a) 0.3778 eV

(b) Ratio = 0.0278

Explanation:

The Bohr's formula for the calculation of the energy of the electron in nth orbit is:

$E=\frac {-13.6}{n^2}\ eV$

(a) The energy of the electron in n= 6 excited state is:

$E=\frac {-13.6}{6^2}\ eV$

$E=-0.3778\ eV$

Ionisation energy is the amount of this energy required to remove the electron. Thus, |E| = 0.3778 eV

(b) For first orbit energy is:

$E=\frac {-13.6}{1^2}\ eV$

$E=-13.6\ eV$

$Ratio=\frac {E_6}{E_1}$

$Ratio=\frac {-0.3778}{-13.6}$

Ratio = 0.0278
