Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g

ains or losses to adjust diets. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of 49.0 N is exerted and the astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.780 m/s2. Calculate her mass in kilograms.

Answer:62.82 kg

Explanation:

Given

Net External force(F)=49 N

Astronaut acceleration (a) measured to be 0.78 m/s^2

According Newton's second law of motion we get

F=ma

49=m\times 0.78

m=\frac{49}{0.78}

m=62.82 kg

1. Some stars are bigger than others, some are different colors or temperatures. It all really depends on the age of the star.

2. Four differences could be:

   1) Outer planets are much farther away from the sun, so they get less sunlight than inner planets.
   2) Also, the outer planets are all gas giants (excluding Pluto), while inner planets are all rocky planets.
   3) Inner planets also have a much higher density than outer planets.
   4) Outer planets also tend to have many more moons than inner planets (such as Jupiter, with 63 known moons).

3. The barrier that separates the inner from the outer planets is a ring of space rocks known as the Asteroid Belt.

A comet is a ball of ice that orbits a star in a wide elliptical orbit.
An asteroid is a large rocky body that orbits a star, and could be anywhere in size from 600 miles across to tiny dust particles.
A meteoroid is a small object floating through space freely (not necessarily bound in any orbit) that is usually made of a rocky or metallic material.

4. Day and night are caused by the earth's rotation on its axis. Night is relative to the observer, and occurs when the observer is on the side opposite that on which the sun is shining.

The exit nozzle in a jet engine receives air at 1200 K, 150 kPa with negligible kinetic energy. The exit pressure is 80 kPa, and
nikitadnepr [17]

Complete question:

The exit nozzle in a jet engine receives air at 1200 K, 150 kPa with negligible kinetic energy. The exit pressure is 80 kPa, and the process is reversible and adiabatic. Use constant specific heat at 300 K to find the exit velocity.

Answer:

The exit velocity is 629.41 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, T₁ = 1200K

initial pressure, P₁ = 150 kPa

final pressure, P₂ = 80 kPa

specific heat at 300 K, Cp = 1004 J/kgK

k = 1.4

Calculate final temperature;

T_2 = T_1(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1 }{k}

k = 1.4

T_2 = T_1(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1 }{k}}\\\\T_2 = 1200(\frac{80}{150})^{\frac{1.4-1 }{1.4}}\\\\T_2 = 1002.714K

Work done is given as;

W = \frac{1}{2} *m*(v_i^2 - v_e^2)

inlet velocity is negligible;

v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} } = \sqrt{2*C_p(T_1-T_2)} \\\\v_e = \sqrt{2*1004(1200-1002.714)}\\\\v_e = \sqrt{396150.288} \\\\v_e = 629.41  \ m/s

Therefore, the exit velocity is 629.41 m/s

First step in using a balance beam scale?
prohojiy [21]
To find out the weight of the object, you'll need to slide the weight poises until the pointer is at zero again. Start with the two heavier weight poises and then use the lightest one to do the fine tuning. Our triple beam balance and the Ohaus triple beam balance are accurate to 0.1 grams.
