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.

What is the impulse of a 3kg object accelerating from rest to 12m/s?
ale4655 [162]
To find the impulse you multiply the mass by the change in velocity (impulse=mass×Δvelocity). So in this case, 3 kg × 12 m/s ("12" because the object went from zero m/s to 12 m/s).

The answer is 36 kg m/s

A fish scale, consisting of a spring with spring constant k=200N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. A 2.6 kg fish is attach
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish is initially at rest and it is also at rest when the spring is fully stretched at the maximum distance.

Change in gravity potential energy = change in spring potential energy

mgh = 1/2kh^2

Assume gravity constant g is 10m/s^2

2.6*10*h = 1/2*200*h^2

100h^2 - 26h = 0

2h(50h - 13) = 0

h = 0 or h = 13/50 = 0.65m

h = 0 is before the spring is stretched

So the maximum distance is 0.65m.

A tank of liquid (SG=0.80) that is 1 ft in diameter and 1.0 ft high is rigidly fixed to a rotating arm having a 2 ft radius. The
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

the pressure at B is 527psf

Explanation:

Angular velocity, ω = v / r

ω = 20 /1.5

= 13.333 rad/s

Flow equation from point A to B

P_A+rz_A-\frac{1}{2} Pr_A^2w^2=P_B+rz_B-\frac{1}{2} pr^2_Bw^2\\\\P_B = P_A + r(z_A-z_B)+\frac{1}{2} pw^2[(r_B^2)-(r_A)^2]\\\\P_B = [25 +(0.8+62.4)(0-1)+\frac{1}{2}(0.8\times1.94)\times(13.333)^2[2.5^2-1.5^2]  ]\\\\P_B = 25 - 49.92+551.79\\\\P_B = 526.87psf\\\approx527psf

the pressure at B is 527psf
