Answer:

High speed optical communication technology

To be able to communicate from the space to the earth and from earth to space is one of the most essential features required during space exploration.

Explanation:

Space exploration involves going into the space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Landing on other planets and studying their details, going into deeper space beyond the planets to discover new cosmic events or structures is all a part of space exploration.

The key to analyse the studies and observations is being able to communicate the data collected, photos taken etc to the launch centers or space centers on earth. The space centers on earth should also be able to communicate with the persons or the satellites in space.

This is made possible using the optical communication technology which involves the use of optical fibers, lasers etc, since high speeds are more efficient during communication

A ball is traveling 24° above the horizontal at a speed of 12 m/s. What is the vertical component of its speed?

victus00 [196]

Answer:

4.88 m/s

Explanation:

Vertical component would be 12 * sin 24 = 4.88 m/s

Horizontal is 12 * cos 24

Which of these ionic compounds have polyatomic ions? Check all that apply.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

CaCO₃ and
NaOH.

Explanation:

Polyatomic ions are ions that contain more than one atom in each one of the ions.

Ionic compounds are made of cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ion). By convention, the cation is written before the anion.

List the ions in each compound:

Cation: $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {CO_3}^{2-}$ .

$\rm Ca^{2+}$ is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

$\rm {CO_3}^{2-}$ is a polyatomic ion for it contains four atoms (one C atom and three O atoms) in each ion.

Cation: $\rm Na^{+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm F^{-}$ .

Both $\rm Na^{+}$ and $\rm F^{-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

Cation: $\rm Fe^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {O}^{2-}$ .

Both $\rm Fe^{2+}$ and $\rm O^{2-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

Cation: $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {Cl}^{-}$ .

Both $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and $\rm Cl^{-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

Cation: $\rm Na^{+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {OH}^{-}$ .

$\rm Na^{+}$ is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

$\rm {OH}^{-}$ is a polyatomic ion for it contains two atoms (one O atom and one H atom) in each ion.

A kite suspended in the sky is flowing back and forth. Which type of friction is being described?

Mice21 [21]

The type of friction of a kite suspended in the sky that is flowing back and forth is fluid friction. The fluid here is the air that helps the kite move back and forth. The kite feels a drag force due to air which acts in the upward direction.

A power cycle operates between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200 K and 300 K, respectively. At steady state the cycle develops a p

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Thermal efficiency = work output / heat input

= .38 MW / 1 MW = .38

OR 38%

Heat rejected at cold reservoir = heat input - work output

1 MW - .38 MW

= 0.62 MW.

b ) For reversible power output

efficiency = T₂ - T₁ / T₂ ; T₂ is temperature of hot reservoir and T₁ is temperature of cold reservoir.

= 1200 - 300 / 1200 = 900 / 1200

= .75

or 75%

rate at which heat is rejected

= 1 - .75 x 1

= .25 MW .
