The work required to launch an object from the surface of Earth to outer space is given by \(W=\int_{R}^{\infty} F(x) d x,\) where \(R=6370 \mathrm{km}\) is the approximate radius of Earth, \(F(x)=G M m / x^{2}\) is the gravitational force between Earth and the object, \(G\) is the gravitational constant, \(M\) is the mass of Earth, \(m\) is the mass of the object, and \(G M=4 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}^{2}.\) a. Find the work required to launch an object in terms of \(m.\) b. What escape velocity \(v_{e}\) is required to give the object a kinetic energy \(\frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}\) equal to \(W ?\) c. The French scientist Laplace anticipated the existence of black holes in the 18th century with the following argument: If a body has an escape velocity that equals or exceeds the speed of light, \(c=300,000 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s},\) then light cannot escape the body and it cannot be seen. Show that such a body has a radius \(R \leq 2 G M / c^{2} .\) For Earth to be a black hole, what would its radius need to be?
The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \sqrt{e^{x}+1} d x \text { (Hint: Let } u=\sqrt{e^{x}+1}$$
Find the volume of the following solids. The region bounded by \(y=1 /(x+2), y=0, x=0,\) and \(x=3\) is revolved about the line \(x=-1\)
Find the volume of the described solid of revolution or state that it does not exist. The region bounded by \(f(x)=(x-1)^{-1 / 4}\) and the \(x\) -axis on the interval (1,2] is revolved about the \(x\) -axis.
When is the volume finite? Let \(R\) be the region bounded by the graph of
\(f(x)=x^{-p}\) and the \(x\) -axis, for \(0
