Answer:

To turn the engine off in a situation of pilot of person overboard.

Explanation:

Various safety laws have been implemented to prevent damage due to boats in case the person driving the boat goes overboard i.e. falls off the boat. One of these mandates the use of lanyard type cutoff switch with the lanyard tied to the wrist or clothes of the person driving the boat. In case the person goes overboard the engine will be cutoff as the lanyard will pull along the cutoff switch as well.

An incompressible fluid (water) is flowing through a pipe of diameter 20 cm with

sergey [27]

Answer:

115 kPa

Explanation:

Use Bernoulli equation:

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂

Assuming no elevation change, h₁ = h₂.

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂²

Plugging in values:

(582,000 Pa) + ½ (1000 kg/m³) (1.28 m/s)² = P + ½ (1000 kg/m³) (30.6 m/s)²

P = 115,000 Pa

P = 115 kPa

How much time is needed to produce 720 Joules of work if 90 watts of power is used?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done.

power is measured in Watts (W) , when the work done is measured in Joules (J) and time in seconds

by the definition of power,

$Power=\frac{work.done}{time.taken} \\ \\ time.taken=\frac{work.done}{power}\\=\frac{720J }{90W} \\ \\ =8 s$

On Mars, where air resistance is negligible, an astronaut drops a rock from a cliff and notes that the rock falls about d meters

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

$d_1 = 16 d$

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the fall of the stone is ZERO

$v_i = 0$

also the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is g

so we have

$d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

now we have

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g t^2$

now if the same is dropped for 4t seconds of time

then again we will use above equation

$d_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g(4t)^2$

$d_1 = 16(\frac{1}{2}gt^2)$

$d_1 = 16 d$
