How did the South American plate and African plate move?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

How did the South American Plate and African Plate move? Earth's plates move on top of a soft, solid layer of rock called the mantle. ... The South American and African Plates moved apart as a divergent boundary formed between them and an ocean basin formed and spread.

A Brayton cycle has air into the compressor at 95 kPa, 290 K, and has an efficiency of 50%. The exhaust temperature is 675 K. Fi

Answer:

The specific heat addition is 773.1 kJ/kg

Explanation:

from table A.5 we get the properties of air:

k=specific heat ratio=1.4

cp=specific heat at constant pressure=1.004 kJ/kg*K

We calculate the pressure range of the Brayton cycle, as follows

n=1-(1/(P2/P1)^(k-1)/k))

where n=thermal efficiency=0.5. Clearing P2/P1 and replacing values:

P2/P1=(1/0.5)^(1.4/0.4)=11.31

the temperature of the air at state 2 is equal to:

P2/P1=(T2/T1)^(k/k-1)

where T1 is the temperature of the air enters the compressor. Clearing T2

11.31=(T2/290)^(1.4/(1.4-1))

T2=580K

The temperature of the air at state 3 is equal to:

P2/P1=(T3/T4)^(k/(k-1))

11.31=(T3/675)^(1.4/(1.4-1))

T3=1350K

The specific heat addition is equal to:

q=Cp*(T3-T2)=1.004*(1350-580)=773.1 kJ/kg

Calculate how much work is required to launch a spacecraft of mass m from the surface of the earth (mass mE, radius RE) and plac
mylen [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy, through the balance between the work done and its respective transformation from the gravitational potential energy.

Mathematically the conservation of these two energies can be given through

W = U_f - U_i

Where,

W = Work

U_f = Final gravitational Potential energy

U_i = Initial gravitational Potential energy

When the spacecraft of mass m is on the surface of the earth then the energy possessed by it

U_i = \frac{-GMm}{R}

Where

M = mass of earth

m = Mass of spacecraft

R = Radius of earth

Let the spacecraft is now in an orbit whose attitude is R_{orbit} \approx R then the energy possessed by the spacecraft is

U_f = \frac{-GMm}{2R}

Work needed to put it in orbit is the difference between the above two

W = U_f - U_i

W = -GMm (\frac{1}{2R}-\frac{1}{R})

Therefore the work required to launch a spacecraft from the surface of the Eart andplace it ina circularlow earth orbit is

W = \frac{GMm}{2R}
