Vikentia [17]

(a) 8927 mi/h

In order to calculate the average speed, we need to convert the time (t=5.0 y) into hours first. In 1 year, we have 365 days, each day consisting of 24 hours, so the time taken is:

t=(5.0 y)(365 d/y)(24 h/d)=43,800 h

The distance covered by the spacecraft is

d=391 mil. mi = 391\cdot 10^6 mi

Therefore, the average speed is just the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{391\cdot 10^6 mi}{43,800 h}=8,927 mi/h

(b) 35 minutes (2097 seconds)

The transmitted signals (which is a radio wave, which is an electromagnetic wave) travels back to the Earth at the speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Since 1 miles = 1609 metres, the distance covered  by the signal is

d=391\cdot 10^6 mi \cdot (1609 m/mi)=6.29\cdot 10^{11} m

So, the time taken by the signal will be

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{6.29\cdot 10^{11} m}{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}=2097 s

And since 1 minute = 60 sec, the time taken is

t=2097 s \cdot \frac{1}{60 s/min}\sim 35 min

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

In how many places did the object stop moving? How do you know?
scZoUnD [109]

Explanation:

The object stops moving in 5 places (namely B, D, F, H, and position after 28 seconds which isn't marked ).

We know that the object has stopped moving, since its position does not change with the passage of time i.e. at rest.

As a pole of a 2nd-order discrete-time system moves away from the origin in the z-plane, while its phase remains constant, the d
Rudik [331]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

When the location of the poles changes in the z-plane, the natural or resonant frequency (ω₀) changes which in turn changes the damped frequency (ωd) of the system.

As the poles of a 2nd-order discrete-time system moves away from the origin then natural frequency (ω₀) increases, which in turn increases damped oscillation frequency (ωd) of the system.

ωd = ω₀√(1 - ζ)

Where ζ is called damping ratio.

For small value of ζ

ωd ≈ ω₀
