Why does a space shuttle turn to the east as rapidly

Physics
1 answer:
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: To boost its acceleration because the Earth rotates Eastwards and to ensure that any crash will occur on an ocean and huge loss in life and properties will be averted.

Explanation: A space shuttle turns to the east as soon as possible,this is to ensure that the space shuttle acceleration is supported by Earth rotation which is also Eastwards.

Another reason for ensuring that the space shuttle turns Eastwards as soon as possible is to prevent a huge loss of life if there is any chance of crash by the space shuttle.When the space shuttle turns Eastwards it will ensure that any crashing will possibly be on the an ocean hence a huge loss of life an property in populated areas will be averted or reduced.

What is the minimal mass of helium (density 0.18 kg/m3) needed to lift a balloon carrying two people in a basket, if the total m
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:   
 M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b] 
 Î”R is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon. 
 R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.   
 ==================================== 
 Let V be the volume of helium required. 
 Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V   
 U = 1.225gV newtons 
 ---- 
 Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g 
 W[h] = 0.18gV N   
 Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N  -----

 
 Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N 
 Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7 
 So minimal F would be 2549.7 
 ---- 
 1.045gV = 2549.7 
 V = 248.8 m^3   
 Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)   
 =====   
 Let the density of the surroundings be R 
 Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV   
 So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N 
 V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg   
 Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3 
 Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg   
 Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so   
 M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)   
 M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]

Which colors of light represents the lowest visible frequency?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Red

Explanation:

Red is a colour which has the lowest frequency. Violet has the highest frequency. Frequency has a direct relationship with energy. This means the higher the frequency, the higher the energy. Red has the lowest energy of all the colors too.

The frequency and Energy has an inverse relationship with the wavelength.

However Red has the longest wavelength of about 620 - 780 nanometer.

lasie4. A 4 kg object is displaced to the right by a distance of 12 m underthe influence of the following forces: a 17 Nforce pu
Oksanka [162]

The work done by a constant force in a rectilinear motion is given by:

W=Fd\cos\theta

where F is the magnitude of the force, d is the distance and θ is the angle between the force and the displacement vector.

In this case we have two forces then we need to add the work done by each of them; for the first force we have a magnitude of 17 N, a displacement of 12 m and and angle of 0° (since both the displacement and the force point right); for the second force we have a magnitude of 36 N, a displacement of 12 m and an angle of 30°. Plugging these values we have that the total work is:

\begin{gathered} W=(17)(12)\cos0+(36)(12)\cos30 \\ W=578.123 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the total work done is 578.123 J and the answer is option E

In the Bohr model of hydrogen, the electron moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. (a) Determine the orbital frequency of
Airida [17]

Answer:

(a) 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s or hertz

(b) 8.21 * 10^14 rev/s or hertz

Explanation:

Fn= 4π^2k^2e^4m * z^2/(h^3*n^3)

Where Fn is frequency at all levels of n.

Z = 1 (nucleus)

e = 1.6 * 10^-19c

m = 9.1 * 10^-31 kg

h = 6.62 * 10-34

K = 9 * 10^9 Nm2/c2

(a) for groundstate n = 1

Fn = 4 * π^2 * (9*10^9)^2*(1.6*10^-19)^4* (9.1 * 10^-31) * 1 / (6.62 * 10^-31)^3 = 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s

(b) first excited state

n = 1

We multiple the groundstate answer by 1/n^3

6.567 * 10^15 rev/s/ 2^3

F2 = 8.2 * 10^ 14 rev/s
