Aspaceship is projected vertically upward from the earth's surface with an initial speed of 7.51 km/s, but unfortunately does not have a great enough speed to escape earth's gravity. what maximum height does the spaceship reach (in m)? ignore air resistance.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the spaceship, u = 7.51 km/s = 7510 m/s

At maximum height, final speed of the spaceship, v = 0

Let h is the maximum height reached by the spaceship. Using third equation of motion to find it as :

So, the maximum height reached by the spaceship is . Hence, this is the required solution.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
