Answer: 53 m

Explanation:

Work = Force × Displacement

W= F s cosΘ

Where, s is the displacement and F is the force. Θ is the angle between force and displacement

F cosθ is the component of force acting in the horizontal direction.

The air pump applies F = 150 N force at an angle Θ = 45°

W = 5600 J

⇒s = W/F cosθ

\Rightarrow s =\frac{5600 J}{150\times cos 45^o}\approx 53 m

Thus, the horizontal distance the water bottle rocket travels is 53 m

A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of 200 m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seat
rusak2 [61]

Power is needed for (1) acceleration and (2) lifting the loaded chairs. These two parts can be calculated separately and then added together.

(1) Power for acceleration:

The final speed of the lift is

V=(10 km/h)(1 h×1000 m60 sec×1 km)=2.887 m/s.

Then the power needed is

Pa=12m(V2−V20)/Δt=12(50×250 kg)(2.778 m/s)2=9.6 kW.

(2) Power for lift

Assume that the acceleration is constant (i.e. power supply is constant), its value will be

a=ΔVΔt=2.778 m/s5 s=0.556 m/s2.

Then the vertical lift during acceleration will be

(12at2)×(2001000)=1.36 m.

Hence, the power needed to increase the potential energy of the lift is

Pg=mgΔhΔt=(50×250 kg) (9.89 m/s2)(1.36 m)/(5 s)=3.41 kW.

Then the total Power required is

Ptotal=Pa+Pg=9.6+34.1=43.7 kW.

Help meeeeeeeeeeee<br>what is the rheostat and what its ruleeee??​
andre [41]

Answer:

<h2><u>Rheostat:</u></h2>

=> Rheostat is an electric device used as a variable resistance, like the regulator of the fan. It is used to change the electric resistance in the electric circuit.

<h2><u>Principle / Rule:</u></h2>

=> Rheostat works on the principle of Ohm’s law. Ohm’s law states that current in a circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance at the given temperature.

An astronaut circling the earth at an altitude of 400 km is horrified to discover that a cloud of space debris is moving in the
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

One of the essential concepts to solve this problem is the utilization of the equations of centripetal and gravitational force.

From them it will be possible to find the speed of the body with which the estimated time can be calculated through the kinematic equations of motion. At the same time for the calculation of this speed it is necessary to clarify that this will remain twice the ship, because as we know by relativity, when moving in the same magnitude but in the opposite direction, with respect to the ship the debris will be double speed.

By equilibrium the centrifugal force and the gravitational force are equal therefore

F_c = F_g

\frac{mv^2_{orbit}}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where

m = mass spacecraft

v = velocity

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of earth

r \rightarrow R+h \Rightarrow Radius of earth and orbit

Re-arrange to find the velocity

\frac{mv^2_{orbit}}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

\frac{v^2_{orbit}}{r} = \frac{GM}{r^2}

v^2_{orbit}=\frac{GM}{r}

v_{orbit} = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

v_{orbit} = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

Replacing with our values we have

v_{orbit} = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{6.37*10^6+0.4*10^6}}

v_{orbit} = 7676m/s

From the cinematic equations of motion we have to

t = \frac{d}{2v_{orbit}} \rightarrow Remember that the speed is double for the counter-direction of the trajectories.

Replacing

t = \frac{29000m}{7676m/s}

t = 3.778s

Therefore the time required is 3.778s

The electrical system that provides power to your school has two major parts: The transmission line which sends power to your lo
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Because of the resistance of transmission lines, high current along the line leads to large voltage drop. This voltage drop causes low efficiency because the voltage at the receiving end is far less than that at the sending end.

Therefore there is need to transmit at a higher voltage (smaller current) than that required by distribution because of efficiency.

Hence, For safety and efficiency, the voltage must be large in the transmission lines and small in the distribution lines.
