(a) Using the information in the previous problem, what velocity do you need to escape the Milky Way galaxy from our present position? (b) Would you need to accelerate a spaceship to this speed relative to Earth?
Migrating land mammals are often called runners because of the large distances that they can cover in one day. The velocity (speed) of a migrating land mammal or runner in relation to its mass can be modeled by the equation V(m) = 9.31m0.12, where m is the mass of the animal in kilograms and V is the velocity in kilometers per day. Round your answers to the tenths place, if necessary. Part A: Complete the table by determining the velocity of several different runners.
