A rocket lifts off the pad at cape canaveral. according to newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravity on the rocket is gi

ven by f(x) = − gmm x2 where m is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the rocket, g is a universal constant, and x is the distance (in miles) between the rocket and the center of the earth. take the radius of the earth to be 4000 miles, so that x > 4000 miles. find the work, w1, done against gravity when the rocket rises 2000 miles.

The equation is the Law of Universal Gravitation. The gravitational constant G is equal to 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg². The mass of the Earth is <span>5.972 ×10</span>²⁴ kg. Compared to the mass of the Earth, the mass of the rocket is negligible. So, we don't need to know the mass of the rocket. Substituting the values:

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)(5.972 ×10²⁴ kg)/(4000 miles*(1.609 km/1mile))²
F = 9616423.08 N

The work is equal to
W = Fd
W = (9616423.08 N)(2000 miles*1.609 km/mile)
W = 9.095×10¹⁰ Joules

Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

The air in a room has a pressure of 1 atm, a dry-bulb temperature of 24°C, and a wet-bulb temperature of 17°C. Using the psychro
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Given that

Dry-bulb temperature(T) =24°C

Wet-bulb temperature(Tw) = 17°C

Pressure ,P = 1 atm

As we know that  psychrometric chart are drawn at constant pressure.

From the diagram

ω= specific humidity

Lets take these two lines   Dry-bulb temperature(T) line and Wet-bulb temperature(Tw) cut at point P

From chart at point P

a)

Specific humidity,ω = 0.00922 kg/kg

b)

The enthalpy ( h)

h=47.59 KJ/kg

c)

The relative humidity, RH

RH= 49.58 %

d)

Specific volume ,

v= 0.853 m³/kg

How does an NASCAR works?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

It works by adding an engine, a transmission, car batteries, an extra strong frame in case of a crash, and much more needed things. When it races, The rubber often burns a lot, because of the high speeds that it goes, so that is why they so often change the tires. They give it a full tank of gas, which is basically like the car's idea of food and water. A NASCAR must have a trong engine to go so fast in order to win a race.

Explanation:

Just think of it like building a lego car just hot gluing the legos together and seeing if it breaks.
