What are three observations an astronaut might make while viewing Russia at night

Lunna [17]

1. Physical size of Russia compared to other countries, despite a lack of visible borders from space.

2. Part of Russia's outline would likely be obscured by the various clouds and objects in the stratosphere; this would allow the astronaut to view potential cloud and weather patterns on earth.

3. An astronaut could see outlines of Russia's geography such as mountain ranges.

Hope that it helps :)

A car battery with a 12 V emf and an internal resistance of 0.11 Ω is being charged with a current of 56 A. What are (a) the pot

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Part a)

V = 18.16 V

Part b)

$P_r = 345 Watt$

Part c)

P = 672 Watt

Part d)

V = 5.84 V

Part e)

$P_r = 345 Watt$

Explanation:

Part a)

When battery is in charging mode

then the potential difference at the terminal of the cell is more than its EMF and it is given as

$\Delta V = E + i r$

here we have

$E = 12 V$

$i = 56 A$

$r = 0.11$

now we have

$\Delta V = 12 + (0.11)(56) = 18.16 V$

Part b)

Rate of energy dissipation inside the battery is the energy across internal resistance

so it is given as

$P_r = i^2 r$

$P_r = 56^2 (0.11)$

$P_r = 345 W$

Part c)

Rate of energy conversion into EMF is given as

$P_{emf} = i E$

$P_{emf} = (56)(12)$

$P_{emf} = 672 Watt$

Now battery is giving current to other circuit so now it is discharging

now we have

Part d)

$V = E - i r$

$V = 12 - (56)(0.11)$

$V = 12 - 6.16 = 5.84 V$

Part e)

now the rate of energy dissipation is given as

$P_r = i^2 r$

$P_r = 56^2 (0.11)$

$P_r = 345 W$

A block of a plastic material floats in water with 42.9% of its volume under water. What is the density of the block in kg/m3?

adell [148]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of buoyancy of Archimedes and the relationship given between density, mass and volume.

By balancing forces, the force of the weight must be counteracted by the buoyancy force, therefore

$\sum F = 0$

$F_b -W = 0$

$F_b = W$

$F_b = mg$

Here,

m = mass

g =Gravitational energy

The buoyancy force corresponds to that exerted by water, while the mass given there is that of the object, therefore

$\rho_w V_{displaced} g = mg$

Remember the expression for which you can determine the relationship between mass, volume and density, in which

$\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = V\rho$

In this case the density would be that of the object, replacing

$\rho_w V_{displaced} g = V\rho g$

Since the displaced volume of water is 0.429 we will have to

$\rho_w (0.429V) = V \rho$

$0.429\rho_w= \rho$

The density of water under normal conditions is $1000kg / m ^ 3$ , so

$0.429(1000) = \rho$

$\rho = 429kg/m^3$

The density of the object is $429kg / m ^ 3$

A seesaw pivots as shown in below. What is the net torque about the pivot point?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

2.3 Nm clockwise

Explanation:

Take counterclockwise to be positive and clockwise to be negative.

∑τ = (3 N) (2.5 m) − (7 N) (1.4 m)

∑τ = 7.5 Nm − 9.8 Nm

∑τ = -2.3 Nm

The net torque is 2.3 Nm clockwise.
