Answer:

F = 1280 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration experienced by a space shuttle, a = 32 m/s²

Mass of the astronauts, m = 40 kg

We need to find the force experienced by the astronaut.

We know that the net force is equal to the product of acceleration and its mass. So,

F = ma

F = 40 kg × 32 m/s²

So,

F = 1280 N

So, 1280 N of force is experienced by the Astronaut.

A ball is shot from the ground into the air. At a height of 8.8 m, the velocity is observed to be
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

h = 10.4 m

R = 22.48 m

v= 16,2 m/s , α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

Explanation:

The ball describes a parabolic path, and the equations of the movement are:

Equation of the uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) :

x = vx*t  :

Equations of the uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward   (vertical ).

y = (v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Equation (2)

vfy² = v₀y² -2gy Equation (3)

vfy = v₀y -gt Equation (4)

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Known data

y= 8.8 m

v = ( (7.7)i + (5.7)j  ) m/s : vx= 7.7 m/s , vy= 5.7 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the  initial  vertical velocity ( v₀y)

We apply Equation (3) with the known data

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

(5.7)² = (v₀y)²- (2)*(9.8)*(8.8)

(5.7)²+ 172.48 =  (v₀y)²

v_{oy} = \sqrt{(5.7)^{2}+ 172.48 }

v₀y = 14.3 m/s

Calculation of the maximum height  the ball rise (h)

In the maximum height vfy=0

We apply the Equation (3) :

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

0 = (14.3)² - 2*98*h

h = (14.3)² / 19.6

h = 10.4 m

Calculation of the time it takes for the ball to the maximum height

We apply the Equation (4) :

vfy = v₀y -gt

0 = v₀y -gt

gt = v₀y

t = v₀y/g

t = 14.3/9.8

t= 1.46 s

Flight time = 2t = 2.92 s

Total horizontal distance traveled by the ball  (R)

We replace data in the equation (1)

x =vx*t    vx= 7.7 m/s , t =2.92 s  (Flight time)

R = (7.7)* (2.92) = 22.48 m

Velocity of the ball (magnitude (v) and direction (α)) the instant before it hits the ground

vx = 7.7 m/s

vy = v₀y -gt = 14.3 - 9.8* (2.92) = -14.3 m/s

v= \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}  }

v= \sqrt{(7.7)^{2}+ (-14.3)^{2}  }

v= 16,2 m/s

\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x} })

\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{-14.3 }{7.7 })

α = -61.7°

α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

i- j components of the v

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Convection and Radiation mechanisms carry most of the heat

Explanation:

This is because Convection proceeds strongy as heated air rises from the hot element while Radiation is also strong, although the material of the cooking pots will how effective it is.

When stated as a percentage, the useful energy transferred by a device divided by the total energy supplied to the device is kno
Verdich [7]

Efficiency

Explanation:

Efficiency is a ratio/percentage that is useful in comparing the energy transferred by a device to the total energy supplied to it.

  Percentage efficiency = \frac{energy input}{total energy supplied} x 100

  • As with most system, none is 100% efficient.
  • During energy is transferred some are lost and only a little portion is used in doing actual work by the machine.
  • This validates the third law of thermodynamics which proposes that no system is 100% efficient.
  • A 100% efficiency implies total energy input is used doing all the work.
  • This is impossible. The bulk of the energy goes into heating the system.
