On Apollo Moon missions, the lunar module would blast off from the Moon's surface and dock with the command module in lunar orbi

t. After docking, the lunar module would be jettisoned and allowed to crash back onto the lunar surface. Seismometers placed on the Moon's surface by the astronauts would then pick up the resulting seismic waves.
Find the impact speed of the lunar module, given that it is jettisoned from an orbit 110 km above the lunar surface moving with a speed of 1600 m/s .
My Approach:
Ei = Ef
1/2*m*vi2 - (G*m*ME)/(radius of moon + orbital distance) = 1/2*m*vf2 ​- (G*m*ME)/r
=> (0.5 * m * 16002) - (6.67 * 10-11 * 7.35*1022 * m/(1737.4*103 +180*103) = (0.5*m*v^2) - (6.67*10-11 * 7.35*1022 * m/(1737.4*103 )

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For crashing speed, we can use energy conservation:

kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}\times m \times v^2  

potential energy = -\frac{GMm}{r}

moon mass= 7.36\times 10^{22} \ kg

Radius= 1738\  km  

\to (K + U) \ orbit = (K + U)\ crash\\\\\to \frac{1}{2}\times m \times v_o^2 - \frac{GMm}{(1738000 + 110000)} \\\\ \to \frac{1}{2}\times m \times vc^2 - \frac{GMm}{1738000}

Calculating the mass drop for the leave:

\to \frac{vo^2}{2} - \frac{GM}{1848000}\\\\ \to \frac{vc^2}{2} - \frac{GM}{1738000}

Solve the value for

vc = \sqrt{(vo^2 +2\times GM \times(\frac{1}{1738000} - \frac{1}{1848000}))}\\\\vc = \sqrt{(1600^2 +2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11} \times 7.36 \times 10^{22}\times (\frac{1}{1738000} - \frac{1}{1848000}))}\\\\vc = 1701 \ \frac{m}{s}\\\\  

The approach is correct but misrepresented in replacing 180 km instead of 110 km.

Which of the following statements is true? The square root of the molecular weight of a gas is equal to its rate of diffusion. T
forsale [732]
The diffusion coefficient of the gas is proportional to the average rate of thermal motion of the molecules.

the average velocity is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass

so
The gas diffusion rate is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Energy conservation.

Explanation:

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics is a statement about energy conservation. It states that \Delta U=Q-W, which means that if we <u>substract the work W done</u> by the system to the <u>heat Q given</u> to the system we get the <u>change in the internal energy</u> \Delta U, so any excess in energy given to the system appears as internal energy, stating that energy is conserved.

2560 meters in 60 seconds, what is his average speed (velocity)
jok3333 [9.3K]
42.6 is the answer I believe because you would do 2,560 divided by 60 if I'm correct.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Dependent variable- The growth of plant in the form of height

2. Independent variable- different temperature

3. Constant variable- The amount of water, amount of sunlight, type of soil.

Explanation:

A Scientific experiment must include three types of variables which are: The independent, dependent and the constant variable.

1. Independent variable- The variable which can be modified or changed either on its own or manually. The variable directly influences the variable to be studied. In the given condition, the independent variable is the different temperature provided to the plants.

2. Dependent variable- The variable which is being studied in the experiment and directly influenced by the independent variable is the growth of the plant which is measured in the form of height.

3. Constant variable- The variable which is kept constant throughout the experiment and remains the same which could be the amount of water amount of sunlight and type of soil.
