The European Space Agency launched a probe called Rosetta in March 2004. In August​ 2014, Rosetta reached its​ destination: a co

met called​ 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Rosetta is the first spacecraft to rendezvous with a comet. It contained a lander​ craft, called Philae.The Philae has a launch mass on the Earth of 220​pounds-mass ​[lbm​].If the Philae was deployed to Mars instead of Comet​ 67P, what would the weight of the lander be after landing on the

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The of the lander would be 75.66 pounds

Explanation:

From the question we are given that the

Weight of the Philae on Earth  is = 220 pound-mass

gravity of Mars is = 3.71 m/s^{2}

Weight of the Philae on Mars is = ?

Now Mass is quantity of matter in an object so it is always constant for a particular object

Generally Weight = Mass × Gravity :

                      \frac{Weight Of Earth}{Gravity Of Earth} = \frac{Weight Of Mars}{Gravity Of Mars}

Hence  

         Weight of the Philae on Mars is = \frac{Weight Of Earth *Gravity Of Mars}{Gravity Of Earth}

                                                              =\frac{200 *3.71}{9.81}

                                                              = 75.66 pounds

"How would you direct traffic in the result of a catastrophic earthquake?"
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

In the result of a earthquake, you should direct people into areas that are safe, such as places where the ground has not been broken up, and then tell people to get out of their cars and be careful. You should also have them carry any valuable items out of the car(if they have time), and then wait until the initial shocks and aftershocks are over, and then tell them to get back into their cars and then drive carefully and safely.

Consider a system having p processes, where each process needs a maximum of m instances of resource type R1. Given that there ar
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Consider a system consisting of 4 resources of same type that are share by 3 processes each of which needs at most two resources.Now we will show that the system is deadlock free.

If the system is deadlocked, it implies that each process is holding one resource and is waiting for one more. Since there are 3 processes and 4 resources, one process must be able to obtain two resources. This process requires no more resources and therefore it will return its resources when done.

Consider a system with m resources of same type being shared by n processes. Resources can be requested and released by processes only on at a time. The system is deadlock free if and only if The sum of all max needs is < m+n .

We can understand the notion of a deadlock from the following simple real-life example.To be able to write a letter one needs a letter pad and a pen. Suppose there in one letterpad and one pen on a table with two persons seated around the table. We shall identify these two persons as Mr. A and Ms. B. Both Mr. A and Ms. B are desirous of writing a letter. So both try to acquire the resources they need. Suppose Mr. A was able to get the letter pad. In the meantime, Ms. B was able to grab the pen. Note that each of them has one of the two resources they need to proceed to write a letter. If they hold on to the resource they possess and await the release of the resource by the other, then neither of them can proceed. They are deadlocked. We can transcribe this example for processes seeking resources to proceed with their execution. Consider an example in which process P1 needs three resources r1 ; r2, and r3 before it can make any further progress. Similarly, process P2 needs two resources r2 and r3 Also, let us assume that these resources are such that once granted, the permission to use is not withdrawn till the processes release these resources. The processes proceed to acquire these resources. Suppose process P1 gets resources r1 and r3 and process P2 is able to get resource r2 only. Now we have a situation in which process P1 is waiting for process P2 to release r2 before it can proceed. Similarly, process P2is waiting for process P1 to release resource r3 before it can proceed. Clearly, this situation can be recognized as a deadlock condition as neither process P1 nor process P2 can make progress. Formally, a deadlock is a condition that may involve two or more processes in a state such that each is waiting for release of a resource which is currently held by some other process.

If an object is near the surface of the earth the variation of its weight with distance from the center of the earth can ofteb b
zalisa [80]

Answer:

h=32.1 km

Explanation:

<em>solution:</em>

using newton law of gravitational attraction and newton second law:

W=\frac{Gmm_{E} }{r^{2} } \\a=\frac{Gm_{E}}{r^{2}} \\W=ma\\

m_{E}= mass of earth

r= distance between two masses

at sea level

a=g

r=R_{E}

a=\frac{Gm_{E}}{r^{2}}.............................(1)

Gm_{E} =gR_{E}^2.........................(2)

by substituting (2) and (1) a=g\frac{R_{E}^2 }{r^{2} } acceleration due to gravity at a distance r from the centre of the earth in terms of g (sea level)

so the weight of the object at a distance r from the centre of the earth (W=ma)

W=mg(Re^2/r^2)..........(3)

h the height above the surface of the earth: r=Re+h

putting the value of r in eq (3)

W=mg(Re/Re+h)^2

W=0.99 mg

solving for height h:

h=Re(1/√0.99)-(1))

h=32.1 km

A 50000 N plane has wings with a span of 30 m and a chord of 6 m. How much cargo can this plane carry while cruising at 550 km/h
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The amount of cargo the plane can carry is 8707.89 N

Explanation:

The surface area of the wings facing the air = 30×6×2 × sin(2.5) = 15.7 m²

The speed of the plane 550 km/h = 152.78 m/s

The volume of air cut through per second = 15.7 × 152.78 = 2399.07 m³

The mass of air = Volume × Density = 2399.07 × 0.37 = 887.65 kg

Weight of air = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity = 887.65 × 9.81 = 8707.89 N

Given that the plane is already airborne, the additional cargo the plane can carry is given by the available lift force of the plane.

The amount of cargo the plane can carry = 8707.89 N
