The upward force on an airplane's wing is thrust.

1 answer:

3 0

No. 'Thrust' is what most people in aviation call the force
that pushes the aircraft forward.

The same people generally call the upward force on the wing "lift".

a rectangular block weighs 240N. The area of the block in contact with the floor is 20cm2 calculate the pressure on the floor

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The pressure on the floor is 12 Pascal(Pa).

Explanation:

Given,

Force (F) = 240N

Area (A) = 20 cm^2

Pressure (P) = ?

we know that,

P = F/A

= 240/ 20

= 12 Pa

Find the separation of two points on the Moon’s surface that can just be resolved by the 200 in. (= 5.1 m) telescope at Mount Pa

rewona [7]

Answer:

The separation of the 2 points should be 50.0 meters.

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh's scattering criteria the angular separation between 2 points to be resolved equals

$\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{\lambda }{D}$

Applying the given values we get

$\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{550\times 10^{-9} }{5.1}=0.1316\times 10^{-6}rads$

thus the linear separation equals $L=\theta \times Distance$

Applying the given values we get

$L=0.1316\times 10^{-6} \times 3.8\times 10^{5}\times 10^{3}meters\\\\\therefore L=50.00metes$

How do charges act on insulators and conductors?

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

An insulator holds charge within its atomic structure. Objects with like charges repel each other, while those with unlike charges attract each other. A conducting object is said to be grounded if it is connected to the Earth through a conductor.

The star Rho1 Cancri is 57 light-years from the earth and has a mass 0.85 times that of our sun. A planet has been detected in a

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

82780.42123 m/s

14.45 days

Explanation:

m = Mass of the planet

M = Mass of the star = $0.85\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg=1.69065\times 10^{30}\ kg$

r = Radius of orbit of planet = $0.11\times 149.6\times 10^{9}\ m=16.456\times 10^{9}\ m$

v = Orbital speed

The kinetic and potential energy balance is given by

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Gm}{r}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.69065\times 10^{30}}{16.456\times 10^{9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=82780.42123\ m/s$

The orbital speed of the star is 82780.42123 m/s

The orbital period is given by

$t=\frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{2\pi \times 16.456\times 10^{9}}{82780.42123}\\\Rightarrow t=1249040.48419\ seconds=\dfrac{1249040.48419}{24\times 60\times 60}=14.45\ days$

The orbital period is 14.45 days

Identify how scientists use radioactive isotopes by selecting the best answers from the drop-down menus. Archaeologists use radi

salantis [7]

Answer:

Archaeologist use radioactive isotopes to determine the ages of various objects, rocks and materials. This is called radioactive dating. Radioactive isotope Carbon-14 is widely used for this dating process.

Scientists use radioactive isotopes in agriculture to monitor or study the uptake and use of essential nutrients by plants from the soil. This helps to determine viability, productivity and nutritious ability of the plants on a piece of land.

Geologists use radioactive isotopes to trace leaks in underground water storage, pipes. Radioactive isotopes are effective tracers because their radioactivity can be easily detected.
