Answer:

t = 12,105.96 sec

Explanation:

Given data:

weight of spacecraft is 2000 kg

circular orbit distance to saturn = 180 km

specific impulse = 300 sec

saturn orbit around the sun R_2 = 1.43 *10^9 km

earth orbit around the sun R_1= 149.6 * 10^ 6 km

time required for the mission is given as t

t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\mu_sun}} [\frac{1}{2}(R_1 + R_2)]^{3/2}

where

\mu_{sun} is gravitational parameter of sun =  1.32712 x 10^20 m^3 s^2.t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{ 1.32712 x 10^{20}}} [\frac{1}{2}(149.6 * 10^ 6 +1.43 *10^9 )]^{3/2}

t = 12,105.96 sec

You have a rod with a length of 146.4 cm. You prop up one end on a brick which is 3.8 cm thick. Your uncertainty in measuring th
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

\partial \theta = 0.003

Explanation:

we know that

sin\theta = \frac{3.8}{146.4}

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3.8}{146.4}

\theta = 1.484°

\theta = 1.484° *\frac{\pi}{180} = 0.0259 radians

as we see that sin\theta = \theta

relative error\frac{\partial \theta}{\theta} = \frac{\partial X}{X_1} +\frac{\partial X}{X_2}

Where X_1 IS HEIGHT OF ROCK

X_2 IS THE HEIGHT OF ROAD

\partial X = uncertainity in measuring  distance

\partial X = 0.05

Putting all value to get uncertainity in angle

\frac{\partial \theta}{0.0259} = \frac{0.05}{3.8} +\frac{0.05}{146.4}

solving for \partial \theta we get

\partial \theta = 0.003

3. Write any two types of force.​
Lerok [7]

Answer:

An <u>applied force</u> is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.

A <u>friction force</u> is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an object can be calculated using the formula below:

F_{frict} = µ • F_{norm}
