Answer:

The value is  v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  initial speed is u =  2.05 *10^{4} \  m/s

 Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

             T__{E}} =  KE__{i}} +  KE__{e}}

Here  KE_i is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

          KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  u^2

=>       KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  (2.05 *10^{4})^2

=>       KE_i =  2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J

And  KE_e is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

       KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v_e^2

Here v_e is the escape velocity from earth which has a value v_e =  11.2 *10^{3} \  m/s

=>    KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  (11.3 *10^{3})^2

=>    KE_e =  6.272 *10^{7} \  \  m  \ \   J

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

        KE_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

        T__{E}} =  KE_p

So

       2.101 *10^{8}  m  +  6.272 *10^{7}  m  =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

=>     5.4564 *10^{8} =   v^2

=>     v =  \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}

=>     v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

Which properties of a lava lamp are important to remember when modeling convection?
Luba_88 [7]
Important thing when making a lava lamp are the two liquids with different density so that it would not mix and that it would expand when heated. The movement of the orange liquid is called convection. if you will not heat the orange one, it till just stay on the stop and not go under tha water.

An Olympic swimmer swims 50.0 meters in 23.1 seconds . What is his average speed
Aneli [31]
If you take 50 meters and divide by 23.1 seconds, you will get 2.16 meters per second.

So his average speed is 2.16 m/s.

While exploring a castle, Exena the Exterminator is spotted by a dragon who chases her down a hallway. Exena runs into a room an
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

the time needed for her to close the door is 1.36 s.

Explanation:

given information:

Force, F = 220 N

width, r = 1.40 m

weight, W = 790 N

height, h = 3.00 m

angle, θ = 90° = π/2

to find the times needed to close the door we can use the following equation

θ = ω₀t + 1/2 αt²

where

θ = angle

ω = angular velocity

α = angular acceleration

t = time

in this case, the angular velocity is zero. thus,

θ = 1/2 αt²

now, we can find the angular speed by using the torque formula

τ = I α

where

τ = torque

I = Inertia

we know that

τ = F r

and

I = 1/3 mr²

so,

τ = I α

F r = 1/3 mr² α

α = 3 F/mr

  = 3 F/(w/g)r

  = 3 (220)/(790/9.8) 1.4

  = 5.85 rad/s²

θ = 1/2 αt²

π/2 = 1/2 5.85 t²

t = 1.36 s

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is the movement of molecules across a biological cell membrane by the use of a membrane protein.

It is a spontaneous passive movement and it can also be reffered to as FACILITATED TRANSPORT or PASSIVE-MEDIATED TRANSPORT.
