How is retrograde motion different from normal diurnal motion

Answer:

Diurnal motion, apparent daily motion of the heavens from east to west in which celestial objects seem to rise and set, a phenomenon that results from the Earth's rotation from west to east. The axis of this apparent motion coincides with the Earth's axis of rotation. Retrograde motion is an APPARENT change in the movement of the planet through the sky. It is not REAL in that the planet does not physically start moving backwards in its orbit. It just appears to do so because of the relative positions of the planet and Earth and how they are moving around the Sun.

Suppose a plane accelerates from rest for 30 s, achieving a takeoff speed of 80 m/s after traveling a distance of 1200 m down th

Margaret [11]

Answer:

300 m

Explanation:

The train accelerate from the rest so u = 0 m/sec

Final speed that is v = 80 m/sec

Time t = 30 sec

The distance traveled by first plane = 1200 m

We know the equation of motion $S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ where s is distance a is acceleration and u is initial velocity

Using this equation for first plane $1200=0\times 30+\frac{1}{2}a30^2$

$a=2.67\frac{m}{sec^2}$

As the acceleration is same for both the plane so a for second plane will be 2.67 $\frac{m}{sec^2}$

The another equation of motion is $v^2=u^2+2as$ using this equation for second plane $40^2=0+2\times 2.67\times s$

s = 300 m

A generator produces 60 A of current at 120 V. The voltage is usually stepped up to 4500 V by a transformer and transmitted thro

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 60 A

Voltage = 120 V

Resistance = 1.0 ohm

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

$P=I\times V$

Where,I =current

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

$P=60\times120$

$P=7200\ W$

We need to calculate the percentage power lost in the transmission line

If the voltage is not stepped up

Then, the power loss

$P'=I^2\times R$

Put the value into the formula

$P'=(60)^2\times1$

$P'=3600\ W$

The percentage power loss P''

$P''=\dfrac{P'}{P}\times100=\dfrac{3600}{7200}\times100$

$P''=50\%$

Hence, The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

What is a hydraulic system

Simora [160]

Explanation:

Hydraulic systems use the pump to push hydraulic fluid through the system to create fluid power. The fluid passes through the valves and flows to the cylinder where the hydraulic energy converts back into mechanical energy. The valves help to direct the flow of the liquid and relieve pressure when needed
