Answer:

weight of astronaut  F_2 = 113.38 lb

Explanation:

Given data:

astronaut weight is = 125 lbs

distance of shuttle from  surface of earth is 200 mils

we know that F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G, m_1, m_2 are constant value, so we have

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

radius of earth is 4000 miles

where r_2 = 4000 + 200 = 4200 miles

\frac{125}{F_2} = \frac{4200^2}{4000^2}

F_2 = 113.38 lb

vazorg [7]

Answer:

He wore his black suit, another color of shirt (not purple) and shoes

Explanation:

Holmes owns two suits: one black and one tweed.

Whenever he wears his tweed suit and a purple shirt, he chooses not to wear a tie and whenever he wears sandals, he always wears a purple shirt.

So, if he wore a bow tie yesterday, it means he wore his black suit, another color of shirt (not purple) and shoes because the shirt color is not purple

Which of the following statements about glycogen metabolism is FALSE?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Glycogen is the primary energy source for muscle and liver cells.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a readily mobilized storage form of glucose. It is a very large, branched polymer of glucose residues that can be broken down to yield glucose molecules when energy is needed. Most of the glucose residues in glycogen are linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Branches at about every tenth residue are created by α-1,6-glycosidic bonds.

Glycogen is not as reduced as fatty acids are and consequently not as energy rich. Why do animals store any energy as glycogen? Why not convert all excess fuel into fatty acids? Glycogen is an important fuel reserve for several reasons. The controlled breakdown of glycogen and release of glucose increase the amount of glucose that is available between meals. Hence, glycogen serves as a buffer to maintain blood-glucose levels. Glycogen's role in maintaining blood-glucose levels is especially important because glucose is virtually the only fuel used by the brain, except during prolonged starvation. Moreover, the glucose from glycogen is readily mobilized and is therefore a good source of energy for sudden, strenuous activity. Unlike fatty acids, the released glucose can provide energy in the absence of oxygen and can thus supply energy for anaerobic activity.

Define Plastic vs elastic deformation.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Plastic deformation, irreversible or permanent. Deformation mode in which the material does not return to its original shape after removing the applied load. This happens because, in plastic deformation, the material undergoes irreversible thermodynamic changes by acquiring greater elastic potential energy.

Elastic deformation, reversible or non-permanent. the body regains its original shape by removing the force that causes the deformation. In this type of deformation, the solid, by varying its tension state and increasing its internal energy in the form of elastic potential energy, only goes through reversible thermodynamic changes.

The 30-kg gear is subjected to a force of P=(20t)N where t is in seconds. Determine the angular velocity of the gear at t=4s sta
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Angular momentum. If we consider a particle of mass m, with velocity v, moving under the influence of a force F. The angular  momentum about point O is defined as the “moment” of the particle’s linear momentum, L, about O. And the correct formula is:

H_o =r x mv=rxL

Applying Newton’s second law to the right hand side of the above equation, we have that r ×ma = r ×F =

MO, where MO is the moment of the force F about point O. The equation expressing the rate of change  of angular momentum is this one:

MO = H˙ O

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum

The equation MO = H˙ O gives us the instantaneous relation between the moment and the time rate of change of angular  momentum. Imagine now that the force considered acts on a particle between time t1 and time t2. The equation MO = H˙ O can then be integrated in time to obtain this:

\int_{t_1}^{t_2}M_O dt = \int_{t_1}^{t_2}H_O dt=H_0t2 -H_0t1

Solution to the problem

For this case we can use the principle of angular impulse and momentum that states "The mass moment of inertia of a gear about its mass center is I_o =mK^2_o =30kg(0.125m)^2 =0.46875 kgm^2".

If we analyze the staritning point we see that the initial velocity can be founded like this:

v_o =\omega r_{OIC}=\omega (0.15m)

And if we look the figure attached we can use the point A as a reference to calculate the angular impulse and momentum equation, like this:

H_Ai +\sum \int_{t_i}^{t_f} M_A dt =H_Af

0+\sum \int_{0}^{4} 20t (0.15m) dt =0.46875 \omega + 30kg[\omega(0.15m)](0.15m)

And if we integrate the left part and we simplify the right part we have

1.5(4^2)-1.5(0^2) = 0.46875\omega +0.675\omega=1.14375\omega

And if we solve for \omega we got:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

Harlin is designing a new car engine that does not create pollution. Which technological design factor is probably the most
kari74 [83]

Answer: environmental impact

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Harlin is designing a new car engine that does not create pollution.

The technological design factor which is probably the most important for the design is the impact on the environment.

Pollution has a negative effect on the environment a d doing this shows that emphasis is placed on how the environmental issue of pollution can be tackled.
