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 220pounds-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 = $\frac{Weight Of Earth *Gravity Of Mars}{Gravity Of Earth}$

$=\frac{200 *3.71}{9.81}$

$= 75.66 pounds$

ACCIDENT PREVENTION RECOMMENDATIONS

Fatal Fact made us to understand some of the prevention techniques as stated below.

1. Use approved ground fault circuit interrupters or an assured equipment grounding conductor program to protect employees on construction sites.

2. Use equipment that provides a permanent and continuous path from circuits, equipment, structures, conduit or enclosures to ground.

3. Inspect electrical tools and equipment daily and remove damaged or defective equipment from use until it is repaired.

Explanation:

In order to gain a better understanding of the answer above let explain some terms

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters :

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), or Residual Current Device (RCD) is a type of circuit breaker which shuts off electric power when it senses an imbalance between the outgoing and incoming current. The main purpose is to protect people from an electric shock caused when some of the current travels through a person's body due to an electrical fault such as a short circuit, insulation failure, or equipment malfunction.

So the first statement is implying that in order to prevent this accident that this device (GFCI) should have been used in that construction site, or as an alternative before the construction commenced the company should have drafted a lay down conductor program(i.e. a step by step conductor program) that assured equipment grounding in order to protect employees on construction sites

What type of soil has equal parts of sand silt and clay?

What soil horizon contains mostly clay silt and sand?

E Horizon - This eluviation (leaching) layer is light in color; this layer is beneath the A Horizon and above the B Horizon. It is made up mostly of sand and silt, having lost most of its minerals and clay as water drips through the soil (in the process of eluviation).

A composite wall is composed of 20 cm of concrete block with k = 0.5 W/m-K and 5 cm of foam insulation with k = 0.03 W/m-K. The

wariber [46]

Answer:

4.8°C

Explanation:

The rate of heat transfer through the wall is given by:

$q=\frac{Ak}{L}dT$

$\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k}{L}dT$

Assumptions:

1) the system is at equilibrium

2) the heat transfer from foam side to interface and interface to block side is equal. There is no heat retention at any point

3) the external surface of the wall (concrete block side) is large enough that all heat is dissipated and there is no increase in temperature of the air on that side

${k_{fi}= 0.03 W/m.K$

${L_{fi}= 5 cm = 0.05 m$

${T_{fi}= 25 \°C$

${k_{cb} = 0.5 W/m.K$

${L_{cb}= 20 cm = 0.20 m$

${T_{cb}= 0 \°C$

${T_{m}= ? \°C =$ temperature at the interface

Solving for ${T_{m}$ will give the temperature at the interface:

$\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k_{fi} }{L_{fi} }(T_{fi} -T_{m})=\frac{k_{cb} }{L_{cb} }(T_{m} -T_{cb})$

$\frac{0.03}{0.05 }(25 -T_{m})=\frac{0.5}{0.2}(T_{m} -0})$

$15 -0.6T_{m}=2.5T_{m}$

$3.1T_{m}=15$

$T_{m}=4.8$
