Consider a space shuttle weighing 100 kN. It is travelling at 310 m/s for 30 minutes. At the same time, it descends 2200 m. Cons
1 answer:
Answer:
work done = 48.88 × 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 × J

Answer:
Half-wave rectifier converts an AC signal into a DC signal. It's called a half-wave because it only rectify the positive part of an AC signal.
AC Signal = An electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative voltage.
DC Signal = An electrical signal that only has positive voltage.
Rectify = A fancy word for converting something.
Adding a capacitor helps the positive part of the signal stay on longer. This work because the capacitor stores energy kinda like a battery. During the negative part of the AC signal, the energy stored in the capacitor will be drained and used, then the cycle repeats.
The load resistor is just there to prevent a short circuit from happening.
