Answer:

Escape velocity: Measuring the gravitational strength of an object

The escape velocity is the exact amount of energy you would need to escape the gravitational clutches of an object with mass. Since all objects have mass, they all have a measureable gravitational strength. A good way to think about escape velocity is to think about a deep well (physicists like to think of this as an energy well). If you are at the bottom of the well and want to get out (to escape), you need enough energy to climb out. The deeper the well, the more energy you will have to expend in order to climb to

the top. If you have only enough energy to get half way out, you will eventually fall back to the bottom. The escape velocity is a way of measuring the exact amount of energy needed to reach the lip of the well -- and have no energy left over for walking away.

When a ball is thrown up into the air from the surface of the Earth, it does not have enough energy to escape. So it falls back down. How might we enable the ball to escape? Throw it harder, give it more energy. How hard must we throw it? Just hard enough to get over the top, over the edge of the well.

We can find this energy directly by saying that the kinetic energy of the thrown ball must exactly equal the 'potential energy' of the well. From basic physics we know that the potential energy for an object at a height above a surface is:

Epotential= GMm/R

where

G = Newton's universal constant of gravity = 6.67 x 10-11 N-m2/kg3

M = the mass of the 'attracting object' [the planet] [in units of kg]

m = the mass of the object trying to escape [e.g., me or a ball or a rocket or a molecule] [in kg]

R = the distance between the centers of objects M and m [in units of m]

note: provided we do everything in the same units, we don't have to worry about units

while the kinetic energy we know from above:

Ekinetic=0.5 m v2

where

m = mass of the moving object [in kg]

v = the velocity of object m [in m/sec]

If we set these two energies equal to each other, and solve for v, we find the exact velocity needed to escape from the energy well:

0.5 m v2= GMm/R

v= (2GM/R)0.5

and since this velocity is exactly what is needed to 'escape,' it is called the escape velocity:

vescape= (2GM/R)0.5

Why do we say that a baseball falls toward Earth, and not Earth toward the baseball?
mezya [45]
Probably because the earth is stationary rotating on its axis whereas the baseball is the one doing all of the movement after being thrown

Compute the kinetic energy of a proton (mass 1.67×10−27kg ) using both the nonrelativistic and relativistic expressions for spee
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of proton m=1.67\times10^{-27}\ kg

Speed v= 9.00\times10^{7}\ m/s

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for non relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.67\times10^{-27}\times(9.00\times10^{7})^2

K.E=6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=mc^2(\sqrt{(\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}})}-1)

K.E=1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^{2}\cdot\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-\frac{\left(9.00\times10^{7}\right)^{2}}{(3\times10^{8})^{2}}}}-1\right)

K.E=7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

Hence, The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

The speed of sound in aluminum is 5200 m/s. Can you hear a sound with a
romanna [79]

Answer:

v = wavelength * frequency

frequency = 5200 m/s / .2 m = 26000 / sec

20,000 / sec is optimistic for the upper frequency of human hearing

So 26,000 is above the hearing range for human ears

47. A car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. What
Otrada [13]

Answer: 114 km/h

Explanation:

The formula for determining average speed is expressed as

Average speed = total distance/total time

The car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. It means that the total distance that the car travels is

85 + 200 = 285 km

The total time spent by the car is

0.5 + 2 = 2.5 hours

Therefore,

Average speed = 285/2.5 = 114 km/h
