Answer:

Antarctic Circle

Explanation:

The Tropic of Cancer, which is also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This occurs on the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent.

Tropic of Capricorn Is it Southern Hemisphere counterpart, marking the most southerly position at which the Sun can be directly overhead.

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 220 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. What mass of fuel is n

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let fuel is released at the rate of dm / dt where m is mass of the fuel

thrust created on rocket

= d ( mv ) / dt

= v dm / dt

this is equal to force created on the rocket

= 220 dv / dt

so applying newton's law

v dm / dt = 220 dv / dt

v dm = 220 dv

dv / v = dm / 220

integrating on both sides

∫ dv / v = ∫ dm / 220

lnv = ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

ln4000 - ln 2500 = ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( ln4000 - ln 2500 )

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( 8.29 - 7.82 )

= 103.4 kg .

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at

inn [45]

Answer:

a) $v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

b) $H=8.9605\,m$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of bullet, $m=4.97\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

compression of the spring, $\Delta x=0.0476\,m$

force required for the given compression, $F=9.12 \,N$

(a)

We know

$F=m.a$

where:

a= acceleration

$9.12=4.97\times 10^{-3}\times a$

$a\approx 1835\,m.s^{-2}\\$

we have:

initial velocity, $u=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the eq. of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a.\Delta x$

where:

v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.

$v^2= 0^2+2\times 1835\times 0.0476$

$v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

(b)

Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"

so,

$u=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

$v=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2-2g.h$

where:

h= height

g= acceleration due to gravity

$0^2=13.2171^2-2\times 9.8\times h$

$h=8.9129\,m$

is the height from the release position of the spring.

So, the height from the latched position be:

$H=h+\Delta x$

$H=8.9129+0.0476$

$H=8.9605\,m$
