when astronauts work in space, they are sometimes attached to the spacecraft by a line called an umbilical. Why do you think the

line has been given this name?

Probably for the umbilical cord that connects babies (from their early stages in the womb to their removal) to their mothers. The cord is cut, forming the belly button. This is analogous to astronauts in space.

Because it is like the umbilical cord on a baby to its mother this is why they call it umbilical

lana [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity is q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg

The efficiency of the temperature is n_{TH}=0.67

Explanation:

The p-v diagram illustration is in the attachment

T_{H} means high temperature

T_{L} means low temperature

The energy equation :

q_{h} = R* T_{h} in(V_{2}/V_{1})

   =0.287 * 1200 ln(3)

   =0.287*1318.33

   =378.36kJ/kg

The specific heat capacity:

q_{L}=q_{h}*(T_{L}/T_{H})

q_{L}=378.36 * (400/1200)

q_{L}=378.36 * 0.333

q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg

The efficiency of the temperature will be:

n_{TH}=1 - (T_{L}/T_{H})

n_{TH}=1-(400/1200)

n_{TH}=1-0.333

n_{TH}=0.67

Which of the following statements is/are true?Check all that apply.a. A dissipative interaction permits a two-way conversion bet
oee [108]

Answer:

a. A dissipative interaction permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

FALSE

in dissipative type of forces energy is not conserved so it is not possible

b. A nondissipative interaction permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

TRUE

in non dissipative type of force there is no energy loss so we can use energy conservation

c. A potential energy function can be specified for a dissipative interaction.

FALSE

Here potential energy is not defined for dissipative type of forces

d. A potential energy function can be specified for a nondissipative interaction.

TRUE

negative gradient of potential energy is equal to non dissipative type of forces

F = -\frac{dU}{dr}

A 750-kg car moving at 23 m/s brakes to a stop. Assume that all the kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy. The brake
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The temperature of the brakes is 29.38°C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 750 kg

Speed = 23 m/s

Mass of iron = 15 kg

We need to calculate the kinetic energy of car

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times750\times23^2

K.E=198.375\ kJ

We need to calculate the temperature of the brakes

Using formula of energy

K.E=mc\Delta T

Put the value into the formula

198.375=15\times0.450\times\Delta T

\Delta T=\dfrac{198.375}{15\times0.450}

\Delta T=29.38^{\circ}C

Hence, The temperature of the brakes is 29.38°C.
