A block of metal weighing 2 kg is resting on a frictionless plane (as shown in figure). It is struck by a jet releasing water at a rate of 1 kgs–1 and at a speed of 10 ms–1. Then, the initial acceleration of the block, in ms–2, will be:
Escape speed is the minimum speed, which is required by the object to escape from the gravitational influence of a plannet. Escape speed for Earth’s surface is 11,186 m/sec.
The formula for escape speed is given below:
ve = (2GM / r)1/2
where ,
ve = Escape Velocity
G = Universal Gravitational Constant
M = Mass of the body to be escaped from
r = Distance from the centre of the mass
