In an extremely simplified explanation,
What happens is that the steam (heat) that is generated by the burning of coal is used to rotate the motor of the steam engine.
Answer:
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we mus start by drawing a free body diagram of the given situation (See attached picture).
From the free body diagram we can now do a sum of forces in the x and y direction. Let's start with the y-direction:
so:
now we can go ahead and do a sum of forces in the x-direction:
the sum of forces in x is 0 because it's moving at a constant speed.
so now we solve for theta. We can start by factoring mg so we get:
we can divide both sides into mg so we get:
this tells us that the problem is independent of the mass of the object.
we now divide both sides of the equation into so we get:
so we now take the inverse function of tan to get:
so now we can find our angle:
so
Answer:
3.1 miles
Explanation:
To solve this question it is important to remember that the distance between two mile markers is approximately 1 mile
Once this is known, the question becomes very easy to solve. We make two triangle, which have the following three points
Triangle 1: Hot-Air-Balloon, Ground, Milepost 1 - With angle of depression 20
Triangle 2: Hot-Air-Balloon, Ground, Milepost 2 - With angle of depression 18
As a reminder, the angle of depression is simply the angle the balloonist's head makes with the horizontal plane to be able to see the milepost.
From this we can simply drive two formulas using the Tan function
Equation 1 -
Equation 2 -
Solving them simultaneously we get the value of height (h) to be 3.0852 miles or 3.1 miles
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is K.E1/2mv2 so that means it is directly proportional to mass and velocity.
