When did they start using the word "Scrubbed" for launches?

Physics

VladimirAG [237]4 years ago

Answer:

Many speculation exists for why the term 'scrubbed' is used in relation to launches. <em>One of these is that during world war II, when the Air force planned bombing raids</em>. These  Air force missions had their briefings done with illustration of the details of the launch and and flight drawn on chalkboards. <em>When some of mission flight takeoffs were canceled (due to bad weather or a malfunction or other reasons) the details were then scrubbed off of the chalkboard</em>. This idea of the mission <em>being scrubbed meaning that it is no longer to be followed through with</em>, proceeded to this modern day rocket and aviation launches.

If 14:15=42:x find the value of x​
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

x=45

Explanation:

by taking 42 and dividing it by 14 you get 1/3, because 14 is 1/3 of 42 you can then see that the ratio is multiplied by 3. si then you can just multiply 15 by 3 to get 45

HURRY Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C.  changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

Explanation:

Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion)  creating chain reactions of radiant energy.  Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.

Or think of the atom bomb.  Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions.  The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.

A hose directs a horizontal jet of water, moving with a velocity of 20m/s, on to a vertical wall. The
just olya [345]
Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum.
The initial amount of momentum is mv because water stops when it hit the wall total change of momentum must be \Delta p=mv.
Now let's calculate the force.
F= \frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{d(mv)}{dt}=\frac{dm}{dt}v
We need to find \frac{dm}{dt}. This is the amount of water hiting the wall per second.
\frac{dm}{dt}=\rho Av
Our final formula would be:
F=\rho Avv=\rho Av^2
And now we can calculate the answer:
F=1000\cdot5\cdot 10^{-4}\cdot(20)^2=200 N
