Conversations with astronauts on the lunar surface were characterized by a kind of echo in which the earthbound person’s voice w

as so loud in the astronaut’s space helmet that it was picked up by the astronaut’s microphone and transmitted back to Earth. It is reasonable to assume that the echo time equals the time necessary for the radio wave to travel from the Earth to the Moon and back (that is, neglecting any time delays in the electronic equipment). Calculate the distance from Earth to the Moon given that the echo time was 2.56 s and that radio waves travel at the speed of light (3.00×108 m/s) .

Answer:

3.85*10^8m

Explanation:

We know that

Speed v = distance/time t

So distance = v x t

So = 3*10^8 x 2.56s

= distatance = 7.7*10^8m

However this is double the distance from the earth to the moon, so to get distance from earth to the moon we divide by 2

7.7*10^8/2= 3.85*10^8m

Answer:

4) Isaac Newton was the first scientist to propose the idea that gravity increases distance between objects decrease

Explanation:

1 - Kepler may have inspired most of Newton's propositions, but there is no record of collaborating on the theory of universal gravitation.

2 - The universal gravitation theory resemble the works of other great scientists, but Newton was indeed the first to propose this idea of gravitation

3 - On the contrary, these scientists have shared concepts, with differences in accuracy that supersede each other to be accepted by the community (i.e: Einstein being at the forefront despite sharing some ideas with Newton)

A rectangular key was used in a pulley connected to a line shaft with a power of 7.46 kW at a speed of 1200 rpm. If the shearing
Damm [24]

Given:

Shaft Power, P = 7.46 kW = 7460 W

Speed, N = 1200 rpm

Shearing stress of shaft, \tau _{shaft} = 30 MPa

Shearing stress of key, \tau _{key} = 240 MPa

width of key, w = \frac{d}{4}

d is shaft diameter

Solution:

Torque, T = \frac{P}{\omega }

where,

\omega = \frac{2\pi  N}{60}

T = \frac{7460}{\frac{2\pi  (1200 )}{60}} = 59.365 N-m

Now,

\tau _{shaft} = \tau _{max} = \frac{2T}{\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{3}}

30\times 10^{6} = \frac{2\times 59.365}{\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{3}}

d = 0.0216 m

Now,

w =  \frac{d}{4} =  \frac{0.02116}{4} = 5.4 mm

Now, for shear stress in key

\tau _{key} = \frac{F}{wl}

we know that

T = F \times r =  F. \frac{d}{2}

⇒ \tau _{key} = \frac{\frac{T}{\frac{d}{2}}}{wl}

⇒ 240\times 10^{6} = \frac{\frac{59.365}{\frac{0.0216}{2}}}{0.054l}

length of the rectangular key, l = 4.078 mm
