A glider with mass 0.24 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring of negligible mass with force cons

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

$v=2.556m/s$

Explanation:

From the conservation of mechanical energy

$K_{E1}+U_1=K_{E2}+U_2$

$\frac{1}{2}m*v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}*K*x_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m*v_2^2+\frac{1}{2}*K*x_2^2$

$x_2=0.08m$

$v_1=0 m/s$

Solve to velocity v2

$m*v_2^2=k*x_1^2-k*x_2^2$

$v^2=\frac{k}{m}*(x_1^2-x_2^2)$

$v^2=\frac{5.5N/m}{0.24kg}*(0.54m^2-0.080^2)$

$v=\sqrt{6.54m^2/s^2}=2.556m/s$

In the flow past a compression corner, the upstream Mach number and pressure are 3.5 and 1 atm, respectively. Downstream of the

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

$\theta=23.7^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The ratio of pressure 2 to 1 us 5.48/1= 5.48 rounded off as 5.5.

Referring to table A.2 of modern compressible flow then $M_{\beta_1}=2.2$

Also

$M_{\beta_1}=M_1 sin \beta$ and making $sin\beta$ the subject of the formula then

$sin\beta=\frac {2.2}{3.5}\\\beta=38.94^{\circ}$

Making reference to $\theta-\beta-M$ diagram then

$\theta=23.7^{\circ}$

A large solar panel on a spacecraft in Earth orbit produces 1.0 kW of power when the panel is turned toward the sun. What power

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

e*P_s = 11 W

Explanation:

Given:

- e*P = 1.0 KW

- r_s = 9.5*r_e

- e is the efficiency of the panels

Find:

What power would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn

Solution:

- We use the relation between the intensity I and distance of light:

I_1 / I_2 = ( r_2 / r_1 ) ^2

- The intensity of sun light at Saturn's orbit can be expressed as:

I_s = I_e * ( r_e / r_s ) ^2

I_s = ( 1.0 KW / e*a) * ( 1 / 9.5 )^2

I_s = 11 W / e*a

- We know that P = I*a, hence we have:

P_s = I_s*a

P_s = 11 W / e

Hence, e*P_s = 11 W

John runs 120 meters in 10 seconds and then runs back to where he started in another 10 seconds. Which statement is true? Rememb

atroni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. His speed is 0 m/s

B. His velocity is 12 m/s

C. His velocity is 0 m/s

D. His acceleration is 12 m/s

Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters

Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s

Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken

= 240/20 = 12 m/s

Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.

The correct option is B.

What eccentricity value results in a circular orbit?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Given the equation of an ellipse:

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

The eccentrity of an ellipse is given by:

$e=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}}$

For a circle, we have

$a=b$

Therefore the eccentricity of a circle is

$e=\sqrt{1-\frac{1^2}{1^2}}=0$
