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

Physics

VladimirAG [237]3 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.

Which statement correctly describes the differences between positive and negative acceleration?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: c) Positive acceleration describes an increase in speed; negative acceleration describes a decrease in speed.

Hey

On Earth, you can move or you can not move. if you are moving 50 mph that means relative to Earth (not the Andromeda galaxy). When you start moving (accelerating) you are now moving relative to Earth. when you start slowing down (decelerating [most scientists just say you have negative acceleration]) you are starting to match your velocity to Earth's velocity.

Hope it helped and made any sence at all.

"A toy airplane flies clockwise at a constant speed in a horizontal circle of radius 8.0 meters. The magnitude of the accelerati
Citrus2011 [14]

For the answer to the question above, so at the instant, the acceleration of the airplane is southward, the direction of the velocity is also southward. The direction should be the same because it is both a vector quantity and it does not make sense if the direction and acceleration have different direction.

The diagram is a real world example of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. It shows how thermal energy is used to gener
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

First law: kinetic energy is used to turn an electric generator

Second law: some thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, the kinetic energy of the steam is used to turn the electric generator (thereby producing electrical energy).

The second law of thermodynamics states that energy transfer or transformation leads to an increase in entropy resulting in the loss of energy. This law also states that as energy is transferred or transformed, some is lost in a form that is unusable. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, some of the thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system.

sdas [7]
The best answer would be the 4th choice. "They help scientists explain concepts that are difficult to observe, this also covers the first answer which helps the scientist to answer complex questions. A scientific model is not used prove scientific laws as they may not always have all the data to prove so, instead it is used to allow them to explain better concepts revolving around science through research and may also allow them to predict results based on the accumulation of data and analyzing the trend of this resulting information.
