Jet001 [13]3 years ago
7 0
Well, right now and for the past few years, the space shuttles have been in museums, unable to fly.
When they did fly, no space shuttle ever went farther than about 0.15 PERCENT of the distance to the moon.
No space shuttle ever got anywhere near half way.

A 100g mass is swung around a tube 50 times in 1 minute. A. Calculate the angular velocity of the 100 g mass.
sergey [27]
The angular velocity is defined as "the angle changing over time." 

From the given of the problem:

m = 100g
rate of revolution = 50 rev / min

Therefore, using the formula:

angular velocity = rate of revolution x 2*pi / revolution

Substituting:

angular velocity = (50 revs / min) x ( 2*pi radians / rev ) = 100*pi radians / min

As you can see, mass is not a part of the equation for solving the angular velocity therefore the amount of mass does not affect its value.

You're in an airplane that flies horizontally with speed 1100 km/h (300 m/s ) when an engine falls off. Neglecting air resistanc
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The height of the airplane is 3312.4 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of the airplane, v = 1100 km/h = 300 m/s

It takes 26 s for the engine to hit the ground. We need to find the height of the airplane. Using second equation of motion to find it as :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (26)^2\\\\h=3312.4\ m

The height of the airplane is 3312.4 meters.

___ energy has a slightly longer wavelength than visible light energy and can be felt to the touch
ladessa [460]
Infra-red radiation has a slightly longer wavelength than red light ...
the longest wavelength that is visible to the human eye.

Although infrared can't be detected by the eye, we do have other
receptors that CAN detect it.  They are some of the nerve endings
in our skin.  When infrared radiation hits these, it produces the feeling
of warmth.  Infrared radiation carries heat energy.
