In this vLab you used a complex machine to launch a projectile with the ultimate goal of hitting the target. Assume you built a

really big machine that could launch the projectile a "significant" distance; for instance, several hundred miles. Write a brief essay discussing the issues that would need to be accounted for with a projectile with that type of range. Be sure to include those issues affect the range of the projectile.

For a catapult to fire a projectile a significant range, the projectile will need a large mass. The machine would have to be very large to compensate for that. Also, the machine would be highly inaccurate. It would be entirely too difficult to pinpoint the exact location in which the projectile will hit. If you were to use a projectile that had a smaller mass, it would too easily be affected by friction, wind, and other outside forces. The machine used to fire the projectile itself, would have to be large, and it would be very inefficient.

Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 0^0\ C and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until 100^0\ C the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.

A generator produces 60 A of current at 120 V. The voltage is usually stepped up to 4500 V by a transformer and transmitted thro
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 60 A

Voltage = 120 V

Resistance = 1.0 ohm

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

P=I\times V

Where,I =current

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

P=60\times120

P=7200\ W

We need to calculate the percentage power lost in the transmission line

If the voltage is not stepped up

Then, the power loss

P'=I^2\times R

Put the value into the formula

P'=(60)^2\times1

P'=3600\ W

The percentage power loss P''

P''=\dfrac{P'}{P}\times100=\dfrac{3600}{7200}\times100

P''=50\%

Hence, The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.
