Buzz Aldrin is riding his lunar module "The Falcon" down to the moon’s surface. He is wearing his backpack, which weighs 1300 N

on Earth. During the descent, he is decelerating at a rate of 1.0 m/s2 . What is the apparent weight of his backpack during the descent? (It may be helpful to know that the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6th the value it is on Earth. Also,

Answer:349.07 N

Explanation:

Given

Weight of Buzz =1300 N on earth

Thus mass m=\frac{1300}{9.8}=132.65 kg

it is given that it is decelerating at the rate of 1 m/s^2

Apparent weight is F_{net}

F_{net}=Mg_m-ma

here a =-1 m/s^2 as it is decelerating

F_{net}=132.56\times \frac{g}{6}+132.56\times 1

F_{net}=216.51+132.56=349.07 N

How Can the human ear detect the sound
liq [111]

Explanation:

The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.

What was your electric potential relative to a metal pipe if a spark jumped 1.1 cm through dry air from your finger to the pipe?
romanna [79]
The electric field is given by volts/distance: E= \frac{V}{d}.  The breakdown voltage of dry air is about 3x10^6V/m.  So solving for V we get
V=Ed
or V=(3e6V/m)(0.011m)=33,000V

A thermally isolated system consists of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper. The aluminum and the copper are in t
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Explanation:

Make up a question.

The only change is going to be c.

Suppose they aluminum starts our higher at 50oC

Suppose the copper starts out at 20oC

Suppose the mass of both are 25 grams.

Aluminum

m*2c * deltat

  • deltat = 50 - x
  • c = 2*c
  • m = 25

Copper

m*c*deltat

deltat = x - 20

m = 25

c = c

Now since the amount of heat is the same (this starts out on a heated slab of something).

m*2c * (50 - x) = m * c * x - 20  The m and the c are the same. Cancel them out.

2 * (50 - x) = (x - 20)    Remove the brackets.

100 - 2x = x - 20          Add 20 to both sides.

120 - 2x = x                  Add 2x to both sides.

120 = 3x                       Divide by 3

x = 40

What does this tell you?

It tells you that the temperature of the aluminum is only going to drop 10 degrees

The copper is going to gain 40 - 20 = 20  degrees.

The heat transfer is actually the same. It doesn't take as much heat to heat copper as it does aluminum. That's shown by the difference in how the temperature changes. One looses 10 degrees. The other gains 20. The transfer is the same because of the way the "c" operates.

An object has an emissivity of 0.725. At temperature T, it radicates heat at a rate of 10 W. What is its rate of heat radiation
katrin [286]
Radiative power scales with the fourth power of temperature, so 160 W.
