Why can't passenger planes fly very high?

Physics
2 answers:
nalin [4]3 years ago

The higher in the atmosphere, the less oxygen, and the more cold temperatures.

The material/moisture on the plane would freeze and damage the engine.

Plane engines need oxygen to burn fuel, they have to get their oxygen from the outside air. If they fly too high, the oxygen concentration in the air will drop too low for the engine to maintain combustion and will cause it to stall.

A soccer ball with a mass of 0.434 kg approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 13.0 m/s. The player kicks the ball with
zaharov [31]

Answer:

a) 15.49

b) Opposite to the ball's initial velocity

c) 258.16N

Explanation:

a)

\Delta p=m \Delta v\\\\\Delta p= (0.434)(13.0-(-22.7)) \\\\\Delta p=(0.434)(35.7)\approx 15.49 kg \cdot m/s

b)

Since the player is kicking the ball in the opposite direction to which it came, the impulse is being directed opposite to the ball's initial velocity.

c)

\Delta p= F \Delta t \\\\\\F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} \\\\\\F=\dfrac{15.49 kg \cdot m/s}{0.06 s}\approx 258.16N

Hope this helps!

What are the component parts of modern fireworks? What does each part do?
EleoNora [17]

Answer: Aluminum, Antimony, Barium, Calcium, Carbon, Chlorine, Copper, Iron, Lithium, Magnesium, Oxygen, Zinc, Titanium, Strontium, Sulfur, Sodium, Potassium, Phosphorus

Explanation:

Aluminum: Aluminum is a common component of sparklers.  It is used to produce silver and white flames and sparks.

Antimony: Antimony is used to create firework glitter effects.

Barium: Barium is used to create green colors in fireworks, and it can also help stabilize other volatile elements.

Calcium: Calcium is used to deepen firework colors. Calcium salts produce orange shades in the fireworks.

Carbon: Carbon is an important components of black powder, which is used as a propellant in fireworks. Carbon provides the fuel for a firework. Common forms include carbon black, sugar, or starch.

Chlorine: Chlorine is an important component of many oxidizers in fireworks. Several of the metal salts that produce colors contain chlorine.

Copper: Copper compounds produce blue shades in fireworks.

Iron: Iron is used to produce sparks. The heat of the metal determines the color of the sparks in this case.

Lithium: Lithium is a metal that is used to impart a red color to fireworks. Lithium carbonate, in particular, is a common colorant.

Magnesium: Magnesium burns a very bright white, so it is used to add white sparks or improve the overall brilliance of a firework.

Oxygen: Fireworks include oxidizers, which are substances that produce oxygen in order to support. The oxidizers are usually nitrates, chlorates, or perchlorates. Sometimes the same substance is used to provide oxygen and color.

Phosphorus: Phosphorus burns spontaneously in air and is also responsible for some glow-in-the-dark effects. It may be a component of a firework's fuel.

Potassium: Potassium helps to oxidize firework mixtures. Potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate, and potassium perchlorate are all important oxidizers.

Sodium: Sodium produces a gold or yellow color in fireworks, however, the color may be so bright that it masks less intense colors.

Sulfur: Sulfur is a component of black powder. It is found in the firework's propellant/fuel.

Strontium: Strontium salts give a red color to fireworks. Strontium compounds are also important for stabilizing fireworks mixtures.

Titanium: Titanium metal can be burnt as powder or flakes to produce silver sparks.

Zinc: Zinc is used to create smoke effects in fireworks and other pyrotechnic devices.
