The key to making a concise mathematical definition of escape velocity is to consider the energy. If an object is launched at it
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The total Mechanical energy will be zero

Explanation: Escape velocity is the velocity required by a free object in order to overcome the impact of the force of gravity. The total mechanical energy of an object is the total energy possessed by an object which includes its kinectic and potential energy.

since the object is moving at an escape velocity which is 11.2m/s the object will be assumed to be weightless

Etotal = kinetic energy + potential energy

kinetic energy= 1/2*M*V*V

Potential energy=MGH

Etotal=1/2*0*11.2*11.2+0*0*0

Etotal=0+0

Etotal=0.

A positively charged object is brought near but not in contact with the top of an uncharged gold leaf electroscope. The experime
Olin [163]

Answer:

The leaves of the electroscope move further apart.

Explanation:

This is what happens; when the positive object is brought near the top, negative charges migrating from the gold leaves to the top. This is because the negative charges in the gold are attracted by the positive charge. Thus, it leaves behind a net positive charge on the leaves, though the scope remains neutral overall. To that effect, the leaves repel each other and move apart. If a finger touches the top of the electroscope at the moment when the positive object remains near the top, it basically grounds the electroscope and thus the net positive charge in the leaves flows to the ground through the finger. However, the positive object continues to "hold" negative charges in place at the top. Ar this moment the gold leaves have lost their net positive charge, so they no longer repel, and they move closer together. If the positive object is moved away, the negative charges at the top are no longer attracted to the top, and they redistribute themselves throughout the electroscope, moving into the leaves and charging them negatively.

Thus, the leaves move apart from each other again and we now have a negatively charged electroscope. If a negatively charged object is now brought close to the top, but without touching, the negative charges already in the electroscope will be repelled down toward the leaves, thereby making them more negative, causing them to repel more, and hence move even further apart.

So, the leaves move further apart.

Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be ______
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.

Explanation:

The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.

When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.

When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.

A certain lightning bolt moves 10.0 C of charge. How many charges have been moved if the fundamental unit of charge is 1.6 x 10-
Andrej [43]

To solve this problem, use the ratio given by the total number of electrons or protons that exist as a function of the total charge, and inversely proportional to the value of the fundamental charge. The number of fundamental unit  |q_e| that constitutes a charge of 40.0C can be calculated as

N = \frac{|Q|}{|q_e|}

Here,

q_e = Value of charge and it is the fundamental charge

Q = Total Charge

N = Total number of electron or protons

The number of fundamental units is calculated as follows

N = \frac{10.0C}{1.6*10^{-19}C}

N = 6.25*10^{19}

Therefore the number of fundamental charge units moved by lightning bolt is 6.25*10^{19}
