Suppose that the Mars orbiter was to have established orbit at 155 km and that one group of engineers specified this distance as

1.55 × 105 m. Suppose further that a second group of engineers programmed the orbiter to go to 1.55 × 105 ft. What was the difference in kilometers between the two altitudes? How low did the probe go?

Answer:

108 km

Explanation:

The conversion factor between meters and feet is

1 m = 3.28 ft

So the second altitude, written in feet, can be rewritten in meters as

h_2 = 1.55 \cdot 10^5 ft \cdot \frac{1}{3.28 ft/m}=4.7\cdot 10^4 m

or in kilometers,

h_2 = 47 km

the first altitude in kilometers is

h_1 = 155 km

so the difference between the two altitudes is

\Delta h = 155 km - 47 km = 108 km

Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher (b) lower, or (c)
frez [133]

Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>

Question 1 of 7What is the change in internal energy if 90 J of thermal energy is added to asystem, and the system does 30 J of
Dmitriy789 [7]

Given:

The thermal energy added to the system is Q = 90 J

The work done by the system on the surroundings is W = 30 J

To find the change in internal energy.

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy can be calculated by the formula

\Delta U=\text{ Q-W}

On substituting the values, the change in internal energy will be

\begin{gathered} \Delta U\text{ =90-30} \\ =60\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The chage in internal energy is 60 J (option D)
