After watching a news story about a fire in a high rise apartment building, you and friend decide to design an emergency escape

device from the top of a building. To avoid engine failure, your friend suggest a gravitational powered elevator. The design has a large, heavy turntable (a horizontal disk that is free to rotate about its center) on teh roof with a cable wound around its edge. The free end of the cable goes horizontally to the edge of the building roof, pases over a heavy vertical pulley, and then hangs straight down. A strong wire cage which can hold 5 people is then attached to the hanging end of the cable. When people enter the cage adn release it, the cable unrolls from the turntable lowering the people as safely to the ground. to see if the design is feasible you decide to calculate the acceleration of the fully loaded elevator to make sure it is much less than g. Your friend design has the radius of the turntable disk as 1.5 m and its mass as 2x that of the fully loaded elevator. The disk which serves as the vertical pulley has 1/4 the radius of the turntable and 1/16 its mass. In your physics book you find that the moment of inertia if a disk is 1/2 that of a ring.

 A container of gas is at a pressure of 3.7 × 105 Pa How much work is done by the gas if its volume expands by 1.6 m3?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Work is done by the gas  = 5.92 x 10⁵ J = 592 kJ

Explanation:

Work done at fixed pressure, W = PΔV

Pressure, P = 3.7 x 10⁵ Pa

Change in volume, ΔV = 1.6 m³

Substituting the values of pressure and change in volume we will get

Work done at fixed pressure, W = PΔV =  3.7 x 10⁵ x 1.6 = 5.92 x 10⁵ J

Work is done by the gas  = 5.92 x 10⁵ J = 592 kJ

2 (a) A plane from airport A flies 280 km to the east to airport B. The plane then travelled north to airport C, 190 km away. (i
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

280 km   east then 190 km north

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant displacement

d^2 = 280^2 + 190^2

d = 338.4 km

Angle will be    arctan ( 190/280) = 34.16 °

Do you think an observer on another planet in the solar system might see eclipses
artcher [175]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Eclipses: Eclipses are also known as game of shadows where one object comes between the star(light source) and another object in a straight line such that the shadow of one object falls on other object. This can occur when the apparent size of the star and the object is almost same.

Talking about the Earth, the geometry is such that the Moon and the Sun are of same apparent size as seen from the Earth. Thus Lunar and Solar eclipse can be seen from the Earth. If we were to go on any other planet the same phenomenon can be seen provided the apparent size of moon and the Sun from that planet is same.

We have seen and recorded many such eclipses on Jupiter. These are from the perspective of Earth. When the moons of Jupiter comes exactly between the Sun and Jupiter the shadow of moon will fall on Jupiter. The places where the shadow falls, one will see a solar eclipse.

Small birds can migrate over long distances without feeding, storing energy mostly as fat rather than carbohydrate. (Figure 1) F
Katen [24]

Answer: 3.1107grams of fat.

Explanation:The speed to cover 800 km in 20 hours will be 40km/hr, Because

Speed =Distance/Time.

This is equal to 72,000 seconds. At a power consumption of 1.7 W, the bird will consume (1.7 X 72,000) =122,400 J of energy.

A gram of fat contains about (9.4 Calories X 4186 J/Calorie) ,=39348 joules of energy, the bird will need (122,400 / 39,348) = 3.1107 grams of fat.
