Question
What is the relation between the orbital and escape velocity?

Answer

If ve is escape and v0 is orbital velocity, then
$\text{v}_\text{e}=\sqrt{2}\text{v}_0$

Answer the following:
The absolute temperature (Kelvin scale) T is related to the temperature tc on the Celsius scale by tc = T – 273.15.
Underline the correct alternative:
When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the potential energy of the body increases/ decreases/ remains unaltered.
A gun can fire shells with maximum speed v0 and the maximum horizontal range that can be achieved is $\text{R}=\frac{\text{v}^2_0}{\text{g}}.$

If a target farther away by distance $\Delta\text{x}$ (beyond R) has to be hit with the same gun (Fig), show that it could be achieved by raising the gun to a height at least $\text{h}=\Delta\text{x}\Big[1+\frac{\Delta\text{x}}{\text{R}}\Big]$

(Hint: This problem can be approached in two different ways:

  1. Refer to the diagram: target T is at horizontal distance $\text{x}=\text{R}+\Delta\text{x}$ and below point of projection y = – h.
  2. From point P in the diagram: Projection at speed v0 at an angle $\theta$ below horizontal with height h and horizontal range $\Delta\text{x}$.)
