The space shuttle fleet was designed with two booster stages. If the second stage provides a thrust of 73 ​kilo-newtons and the
Tresset [83]

Answer:

m = 81281.5 pounds.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 73 kN

Acceleration of the space shuttle, a = 16000 mi/h²

1 miles/h² = 0.0001241 m/s2

16000 mi/h² = 1.98 m/s²

We need to find the mass of the spacecraft.

According to Newton's second law,

F = ma

m is mass of the spacecraft

m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{73\times 10^3\ N}{1.98\ m/s^2}\\\\m=36868.68\ kg

Since, 1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

m = 81281.5 pounds

Hence, the mass of the spacecraft is 81281.5 pounds.

a man uses a 900 watt electric iron to press his clothes for an average of 4 hours a week for five weeks if the cost of an elect
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

54 Kobo

Explanation:

Units of <u>electricity</u> are measured in kilowatt hours (kWh).

Given information:

  • 900 watt electric iron
  • Appliance usage = 4 hours a week for 5 weeks
  • Unit cost of electricity = 3 Kobo per kWh

<h3><u>Step 1</u></h3>

Convert the wattage of the electric iron from watts to kilowatts.

1000 watts (W) = 1 kilowatt (kW)

⇒ 900 watts = 1 ÷ 1000 = 0.9 kilowatts

This means that the power consumption of the electric iron is 0.9 kW per hour of use.

<h3><u>Step 2</u></h3>

Total hours spent pressing clothes:

= 4 hours per week for 5 weeks

= 4 × 5

= 20 hours

<u>Total power consumption</u>:

= number of kW × number of hours

= 0.9 × 20

= 18 kWh

<h3><u>Step 3</u></h3>

To find the <u>total cost</u>, multiply the total kWh by the cost per kWh:

⇒ Cost = 18 × 3 = 54 Kobo

A piece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. However, it does not move toward the shore with the waves
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.

A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,
Alika [10]

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. <span>

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem: 

s=1.80m when t=0.245s 

<span>This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) 

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation): 

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2 

v=8.549m/s 

<span>Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t) 

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like 

0=(v)+(a)(t) 

Substituting and solving for t: 

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t) 

t=0.8714s 

<span>Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) </span></span></span></span>

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m<span>

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window: 

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m</span>

 

Answer:

<span>1.925m</span>
