Do you know which component of the Star Wars movies is possible according to our current understanding of physics?

1 answer:

8 0

The space opera interstellar epic Star Wars uses science and technology in its settings and storylines, although its main focus is not necessarily on science. The component of the Star Wars movies which is possible according to our current understanding of physics is their interstellar travel.
The behavior of spacecraft engaged in battle is another aspect of the films is troubling the scientists. According to them, when hit in space by a blaster, the crafts should continue moving in the same direction as the impact rather than falling downwards as the effects of gravity would not apply while in orbit.

Which of the following are true about centripetal force? Check all that apply. A. Without centripetal force, an object cannot ac

Katyanochek1 [597]

B. Friction can be a centripetal force, such as when it keeps a car on the road going around a curve.

C. Gravity can be a centripetal force, such as when it pulls a satellite in its orbit.

Explanation:

The centripetal force is any force that keeps an object moving in circular motion, "pulling" the object towards the centre of the circular trajectory.

Several forces can act as centripetal force. Examples are:

- friction: when a car is going around the curve, is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the car in circular motion is, in fact, the friction between the tires and the road.

- Gravity: when a satellite moves around the Earth, it is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the satellite in circular motion is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the satellite, that pushes the satellite towards the Earth.

The other two options are not correct because:

A) An object can also accelerate if there is no centripetal force (for example, a car speeding up on a straight road is accelerating, but there is no centripetal force since there is no circular motion

D) Centripetal force is not an outward force, since it pushes the object inwards (towards the centre of the trajectory).

The High Speed Industrial Drill With Diameter Of 98 Cm Develops 5.85hp At 1900 Rpm. What Torque And Force Is Applied To The Dril

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The torque applied by the drill bit is T = 16.2 Nm and the cutting force of the drill bit is F = 33 N.

Explanation:

Given:-

- The diameter of the drill bit, d = 98 cm

- The power at which drill works, P = 5.85 hp

- The rotational speed of drill, N = 1900 rpm

Find:-

What Torque And Force Is Applied To The Drill Bit?

Solution:-

- The amount of torque (T) generated at the periphery of the cutting edges of the drilling bit when it is driven at a power of (P) horsepower at some rotational speed (N).

- The relation between these quantities is given:

T = 5252*P / N

T = 5252*5.85 / 1900

T = 16.171 Nm

- The force (F) applied at the periphery of the drill bit cutting edge at a distance of radius from the center of drill bit can be determined from the definition of Torque (T) being a cross product of the Force (F) and a moment arm (r):

T = F*r

Where, r = d / 2

F = 2T / d

F = 2*16.171 / 0.98

F = 33 N

Answer: The torque applied by the drill bit is T = 16.2 Nm and the cutting force of the drill bit is F = 33 N.

A car has a mass of 1,200 kg. What is its acceleration when the engine exerts a force of 600 N? (Formula: F=ma)

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1200 kg

Force exerted by the engine, F = 600 N

Noe force,F = ma

a is the acceleration of the engine

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{600\ N}{1200\ kg}\\\\a=0.5\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is 0.5 m/s².
