What is a locus of points

Physics

A locus is the set of all points (usually forming a curve or surface) satisfying some condition. For example, the locus of points in the plane equidistant from a given point is a circle, and the set of points in three-space equidistant from a given point is a sphere.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ

1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = mv²/2

velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s

To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.

Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³

But density = mass/volume

So, mass = density × volume.

Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,

Volume = 4πr³/3

Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m

Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³

Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg

Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J

A 460 W heating unit is designed to operate with an applied potential difference of 120 V (a) By what percentage will its heat o
dybincka [34]

Answer:

(a) = -0.16%

(b) = smaller

Explanation:

given

power = 460 W

potential difference = 120 V

(a) what percentage will   its heat output drop if the applied potential difference drops to 110 V ?

we know p = \frac{v^2}{R} .....................(i)

we need to find change in power

\Delta P = \frac{\Delta (V^2)}{R}  

\Delta P = \frac{2 V \Delta V}{R}..............(ii)

from equations we get

\frac{\Delta P}{P} =  \frac{2 \Delta V}{V}

\frac{\Delta P}{P} = 2 \frac{110 -120}{120}

\frac{\Delta P}{P} =  -2(\frac{10}{120})

\frac{\Delta P}{P} = - 0.16 %

(b)

if we increase temperature resistance will increase and decrease with decrease in temperature and we know power is inversely proportional to resistance so if potential decrease and it would cause drop in power

and due to this increment of heating power resistance will decrease so actual drop in the power would  be smaller

<span>b. less climatic variation between the summer and winter seasons in the middle and high latitudes

As the tilt becomes higher (approaches 24 degrees) there is greater variation between the summer and winter months, due to the fact that the tilt toward the sun in the summer and away from the sun in the winter are more pronounced. </span>

The a992 steel rod bc has a diameter of 50 mm and is used as a strut to support the beam. determine the maximum intensity w of t
EastWind [94]

Answer:

w = 11.211 KN/m

Explanation:

Given:

diameter, d = 50 mm

F.S = 2

L = 3

Due to symmetry, we have:

Ay = By = \frac{w * 6}{2} = 3w

P_c_r = 3w * F.S = 3w * 2.0 = 6w

I = \frac{\pi}{64} (0.05)^4 = 3.067*10^-^7

To find the maximum intensity, w, let's take the Pcr formula, we have:

P_c_r = \frac{\pi^2 E I}{(KL)^2}

Let's take k = 1

E = 200*10^9

Substituting figures, we have:

6w = \frac{\pi^2 * 200*10^9 * 3.067*10^-^7}{(1 * 3)^2}

Solving for w, we have:

w = \frac{67266.84}{6}

w = 11211.14 N/m = 11.211 KN/m

Since Area, A= pi * (0.05)²

\sigma _c_r = \frac{w}{A}

\sigma _c_r = \frac{11.211}{\pi (0.05)^2} = 1.4 MPA < \sigma y. This means it is safe

The maximum intensity w = 11.211KN/m
