Why are the lunar mountains smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks (as they were almost always depicted in sci

ence-fiction illustrations and films before the first lunar landings)?
Physics
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Lunar mountains are smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks because the lunar moons are formed because of the impact of asteroids and comets on its surface whereas the Earth mountains are formed because of the surface activity of volcanos, collision of land masses and activity of plate tectonics that is why they have sharp and pointed tops.

Pikes Peak near Denver, Colorado, has an elevation of 14,110 ft. Calculate the pressure at this elevation using three different
kramer

Answer:

a) P = 1240 lb/ft^2

b) P = 1040 lb/ft^2

c) P = 1270 lb/ft^2

Explanation:

Given:

- P_a = 2216.2 lb/ft^2

- β = 0.00357 R/ft

- g = 32.174 ft/s^2

- T_a = 518.7 R

- R = 1716 ft-lb / slug-R

- γ = 0.07647 lb/ft^3

- h = 14,110 ft

Find:

(a) Determine the pressure at this elevation using the standard atmosphere equation.

(b) Determine the pressure assuming the air has a constant specific weight of 0.07647 lb/ft3.

(c) Determine the pressure if the air is assumed to have a constant temperature of 59 oF.

Solution:

- The standard atmospheric equation is expressed as:

                           P = P_a* ( 1 - βh/T_a)^(g / R*β)

                          (g / R*β) = 32.174 / 1716*0.0035 = 5.252

                            P = 2116.2*(1 - 0.0035*14,110/518.7)^5.252

                            P = 1240 lb/ft^2

- The air density method which is expressed as:

                            P = P_a - γ*h

                            P = 2116.2 - 0.07647*14,110

                            P = 1040 lb/ft^2

- Using constant temperature ideal gas approximation:

                            P = P_a* e^ ( -g*h / R*T_a )

                            P = 2116.2* e^ ( -32.174*14110 / 1716*518.7 )

                            P = 1270 lb/ft^2

what is the dot product and cross product of of two vectors if the angle is between them is 90 degree?​
DaniilM [7]

\sf{\pink{\underline{\underline{\blue{GIVEN:-}}}}}

  • The angle between the two vectors is 90° .

\sf{\pink{\underline{\underline{\blue{TO\: FIND:-}}}}}

  1. The dot product of two vectors .
  2. The cross product of two vectors .

\sf{\pink{\underline{\underline{\blue{SOLUTION:-}}}}}

⚡ Let \rm{\vec{a}} and \rm{\vec{b}} are the two vectors .

✍️ We have know that,

\orange\bigstar\:\rm{\pink{\boxed{\green{\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\cos{\theta}\:}}}}

Where,

  • θ = 90°

\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\cos{90^{\degree}}\:}

  • cos 90° = <u>0</u>

\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\times{0}\:}

\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:0\:}

\rm{\red{\therefore}} [1] The dot product of two vectors is “ <u>0</u> ” .

✍️ We have know that,

\orange\bigstar\:\rm{\pink{\boxed{\green{\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\sin{\theta}\:}}}}

Where,

  • θ = 90°

\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\sin{90^{\degree}}\:}

  • sin 90° = <u>1</u>

\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\times{1}\:}

\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\:}

\rm{\red{\therefore}} [2] The cross product of two vectors is “ <u>ab</u> ” .

What determines if a material is a conductor or an insulator? Explain your answer and provide at least one example of each.
Dmitry [639]
A conducting material conducts or allows electricity to flow, while an insulator does not allow electricity to flow. For example think of a water pipe, if the pipe has a hole water can flow, on the other hand if it is just a solid rod, no water can flow through. I hope this helps.

Which force is always directed toward the center of a circle?
vova2212 [387]
The answer is D. centripetal force
This definition of centripetal force is a force acting towards the center of an object moving in a circular motion. Acceleration is the rate of which velocity changes over a period of time. If you pick a point on say a rotating circle and find the tangential velocity at each point it goes through, the acceleration would be towards the middle.
