Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

We have a projectile that is shot from the earth

Then, it's escape velocity is

Ve = √(2GM / R)

Ve² = 2GM / R

M is the mass of earth

R is the radius of Earth

Using conservation of energy

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

The final kinetic energy is zero since the body is finally at rest

Then,

Ki + Ui = Uf

Kinetic energy can be determine using

K = ½mv²

Potential energy can be determine using

U = -GmM / R

Where m is mass of the body

Then,

Ki + Ui = Uf

½mv² - GmM / R = -GmM / r

r is the maximum height reached

m cancel out

½ v² - GM / R = -GmM / r

A. We want to find the maximum height reached when initial speed (v) is equal to 0.785 escape velocity

So, v = 0.785•Ve

So,

½v² - GM / R = -GM / r

½(0.785•Ve)² - GM / R = -GM / r

0.308•Ve² - GM / R = -GM / r

0.308 × 2GM / R - GM / R = -GM / r

Divide through by GM

0.616 / R - 1 / R = -1 / r

-0.384 / R = -1 / r

Cross multiply

-0.384r = -R

r = -R / -0.384

r = 2.6 R

B. When it initial kinetic energy is is 0.785 of the kinetic energy required to escape Earth

Ki = 0.785 Ke

Ki = 0.785 ½mVe²

Ki = 0.785 × ½m× 2GM / R

Ki = 0.785•G•m•M / R

So,

Ki + Ui = Uf

0.785•G•m•M / R - GmM / R = -GmM / r

Let G•m•M cancels out

0.785 / R - 1 / R = -1 / r

-0.215 / R = -1 / r

Cross multiply.

-0.215r = -R

r = -R / -0.215

r = 4.65 R

How many photons will be required to raise the temperature of 1.8 g of water by 2.5 k ?'?
tatyana61 [14]
Missing part in the text of the problem: 
"<span>Water is exposed to infrared radiation of wavelength 3.0×10^−6 m"</span>

First we can calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of the water, which is given by
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m=1.8 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/(g K) is the specific heat capacity of the water
\Delta T=2.5 K is the increase in temperature.

Substituting the data, we find
Q=(1.8 g)(4.18 J/(gK))(2.5 K)=18.8 J=E

We know that each photon carries an energy of
E_1 = hf
where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon. Using the wavelength, we can find the photon frequency:
\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^{-6} m}=1 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

So, the energy of a single photon of this frequency is
E_1 = hf =(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} J)(1 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J

and the number of photons needed is the total energy needed divided by the energy of a single photon:
N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{18.8 J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J} =2.84 \cdot 10^{20} photons

Which type of galaxy has arms that contain sites of active star formation and start close to a bulge in the center?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Spiral Galaxy

Explanation:

Spiral galaxies are named by their spiral structures that extend from the center into the galactic disc. The spiral arms are sites of ongoing star formation and are brighter than the surrounding disc because of the young, hot OB stars that inhabit them.
