Q1Using the above equation and what you know about kinetic energy and energyconservation, show that the expression for the escape velocity Ye from a planet of2GMradius R is v, =V R(Hint: To just escape the planet, the object's speed must beO infinitely far from the planet.) and find the escape velocity of an object beinglaunched from Earth. Earth has a radius of 6,360km and a mass of 6.0-10* kg.Q 2Within a certain distance of a black hole, not even light can escape. This distance iscalled the "event horizon." (This was discussed in the online question box earlier thismonth.) The speed of light is 3.0-10° .Even though our equation from part 1 does not hold exactly when considering lightbeams, we can still use it to get a good estimate of the size of a black hole.Estimate the radius of a black hole with the same mass as our sun (2.0 ·10º kg). (Forcomparison, our sun has a radius of about 7.0 ·10°m .) When you throw a ball into the air, it usually falls back down. If you throw it a littleharder, it will take it longer to fall back down. You can throw it so hard that it neverfalls back down to Earth. This launch speed is called the escape velocity.When you are far from Earth, the potential energy of an object with mass m can nolonger be written as PE = mgh. Instead, we must use the equationМ-тPE = -G ..1"M is the mass of the planet you launch from.m is the mass of the object being launched.r is the distance from the center of the planet to the object being launched.G is a universal constant called the gravitational constant (6.67-10-" ).kg-sNotice that the potential energy is 0 when you are infinitely far away from theplanet, and negative as you get closer.
