A spacecraft of mass 1500 kg orbits the earth at an altitude of approximately 450 km above the surface of the earth. Assuming a

circular orbit, what is the attractive force that the earth exerts to keep the spacecraft+ in orbit? Answer: (a) 1.28x 10^7 (N) (b) 2.99 x 10^7 (N) (c) 3.56 x 10^7 (N). (d) 4.11 x 10^7 (N) (e) 5.06x 10^7 (N)

Answer:

1.28 x 10^4 N

Explanation:

m = 1500 kg, h = 450 km, radius of earth, R = 6400 km

Let the acceleration due to gravity at this height is g'

g' / g = {R / (R + h)}^2

g' / g = {6400 /  (6850)}^2

g' = 8.55 m/s^2

The force between the spacecraft and teh earth is teh weight of teh spacecraft

W = m x g' = 1500 x 8.55 = 1.28 x 10^4 N

Which of the following ranching practices contributes to soil erosion?
Natasha2012 [34]

A. overgrazing of livestock

Explanation:

Overgrazing of livestock is the ranch practice that contributes to soil erosion.

Soil erosion is the washing away of the top layer of the earth on which plant grows.

  • Plants are covers of the earth and they prevent agents of denudation from actively washing away the soil.
  • When livestock are introduced into a place, continuous grazing leaves the surface bare.
  • The plants becomes depleted and the surface is exposed.
  • This fast tracks the process of overgrazing.

In a hydroelectric power plant, water flows from an elevation of 400 ft to a turbine, where electric power is generated. For an
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

V=3.475ft^3/s=3.48ft^3/s

Explanation:

We have here values from SI and English Units. I will convert the units to English Units.

We hace for the power P,

P= 100kW \rightarrow 100kW*(\frac{737.56ft.lbf/s}{1kW})

P= 73.7*10^{3}ft.lbf/s

we have other values such h=400ft and  \gamma= 62.42lb/ft^3 (specific weight of the water), and 0.85 for \eta

We need to figure the flow rate of the water (V) out, that is,

V=\frac{P}{\gamma h \eta_0}

Where \eta_0 is the turbine efficiency, at which is,

\eta_0 = \frac{P}{\gamma Vh}

Replacing,

V=\frac{73.7*10^{3}}{62.42*400*0.85}

V=3.475ft^3/s

With this value (the target of this question) we can also calculate the mass flow rate of the waters,

through the density and the flow rate,

m=\rho V\\m= 3.475*1.94 \\m=6.7415 slugs/s

converting the slugs to lbm, 1slug = 32.174lbm, we have that the mass flow rate of the water is,

m= 217lbm/s
