v = v₀ + at

v = final speed, v₀ = initial speed, a = acceleration, t = elapsed time

Given values:

v₀ = 0m/s (starts from rest), a = 9.81m/s², t = 3s

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 0 + 9.81(3)

v = 29.4m/s

F. If the shuttle's period is synchronized with that of Earth's rotation, what is the height of the shuttle? (1 day = 8.64x104s,
oee [108]

Answer:

1.324 × 10⁷ m

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration, a at that height above the earth equal the acceleration due to gravity, g' at that height, h.

Let R be the radius of the orbit where R = RE + h, RE = radius of earth = 6.4 × 10⁶ m.

We know a = Rω² and g' = GME/R² where ω = angular speed = 2π/T where T = period of rotation = 1 day = 8.64 × 10⁴s (since the shuttle's period is synchronized with that of the Earth's rotation), G = gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², ME = mass of earth = 6 × 10²⁴ kg. Since a = g', we have

Rω² = GME/R²

R(2π/T)² = GME/R²

R³ = GME(T/2π)²

R = ∛(GME)(T/2π)²

RE + h = ∛(GMET²/4π²)

h = ∛(GMET²/4π²) - RE

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = ∛(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² × 6 × 10²⁴ kg × (8.64 × 10⁴s)²/4π²) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛(2,987,477 × 10²⁰/4π² Nm²s²/kg) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛75.67 × 10²⁰ m³ - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛(7567 × 10¹⁸ m³) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = 19.64 × 10⁶ m - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = 13.24 × 10⁶ m

h = 1.324 × 10⁷ m

Why is the surface salinity of the ocean higher in the subtropics than in equatorial regions?
larisa [96]
Evaporation is more contrasted with the rainfall which is less in the correlation of tropical locale. In tropical locale, protection is very little in light of mists. Alongside temperature, it is the main consideration in adding to changes in the thickness of seawater and consequently sea flow. Saltiness is the way to understanding the worldwide water cycle. 97% of the Earth's free water dwells in the seas. The water cycle is commanded by precipitation and evaporation.

How much energy (in joules) is required to evaporate 0.0005 kg of liquid ammonia to vapor at the same temperature?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

685.6 J

Explanation:

The latent heat of vaporization of ammonia is

L = 1371.2 kJ/kg

mass of ammonia, m = 0.0005 Kg

Heat = mass x latent heat of vaporization

H = 0.0005 x 1371.2

H = 0.686 kJ

H = 685.6 J

Thus, the amount of heat required to vaporize the ammonia is 685.6 J.

PV System for the Smith Family answers
Pavel [41]
<span>System B: The amorphous silicon solar modules have an efficiency of 6%. The dimensions of the solar modules amount to 0.5m by 1.0m. The output of each module is 30 Wp. The modules cost 20€ each. The advanage of the amorphous silicon solar modules is that they perform better on cloudy days in which there is no direct sunlight. Installed in the Netherlands, this system gives, on a yearly basis, 10% more output per installed Wp than the multicrystalline silicon modules. </span>
<span>System A: The efficiency of the multicrystalline silicon module amounts to 15%. The dimensions of the solar module are 0.5m by 1.0m. Each module has 75 Wp output. The modules cost 60€ each.
