Answer:

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Explanation:

given data

mass = 100 kN

velocity =  310 m/s

time = 30 min = 1800 s

drag force = 12 kN

descends = 2200 m

to find out

work done by the shuttle engine

solution

we know that work done here is

work done = accelerating work - drag work - descending work

put here all value

work done = ( mass ×velocity ×time  - force ×velocity ×time  - mass ×descends )  10³ J

work done = ( 100 × 310 × 1800  - 12×310 ×1800  - 100 × 2200 )  10³ J

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Explain the working and performance of a centrifugal clutch with a sketch​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

A centrifugal clutch works, as the name suggests, through centrifugal force.

One of the most common methods is by mounting the clutch onto the parallel or taper crank shaft of the engine.

When the crank shaft rotates the shaft of the clutch rotates at the same speed as the engine

(Gas Mileage) Drivers are concerned with the mileage their automobiles get. One driver has kept track of several trips by record
Effectus [21]

Answer:

import java.util.*;

public class Main {

   

   public static void main(String[] args) {

     

       double milesPerGallon = 0;

       int totalMiles = 0;

       int totalGallons = 0;

       double totalMPG = 0;

       

       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

 

       while(true){

           System.out.print("Enter the miles driven: ");

           int miles = input.nextInt();

           if(miles <= 0)

               break;

           else{

               System.out.print("Enter the gallons used: ");

               int gallons = input.nextInt();

               totalMiles += miles;

               totalGallons += gallons;

               milesPerGallon = (double) miles/gallons;

               totalMPG = (double) totalMiles / totalGallons;

               System.out.printf("Miles per gallon for this trip is: %.1f\n", milesPerGallon);

               System.out.printf("Total miles per gallon is: %.1f\n", totalMPG);

           }

       }

   }  

}

Explanation:

Initialize the variables

Create a while loop that iterates until the specified condition is met inside the loop

Inside the loop, ask the user to enter the miles. If the miles is less than or equal to 0, stop the loop. Otherwise, for each trip do the following: Ask the user to enter the gallons. Add the miles and gallons to totalMiles and totalGallons respectively. Calculate the milesPerGallon (divide miles by gallons). Calculate the totalMPG (divide totalMiles by totalGallons). Print the miles per gallon and total miles per gallon.
