Velocity, v = 18 m/s, makes an angle 60 degrees with the horizontal (x-axis).

(horizontal) x-component of velocity, v(x) = v cos (60) = 18 m/s x cos(60) = 9 m/s

If you need to determine the y-component (vertical) of velocity,

(vertical) y-component of velocity, v(y) = v sin (60) = 18 m/s x sin(60) = 15.6 m/s

iren2701 [21]

Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

∆U = 2.296×10^10Joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object under the influence of gravity due to its virtue of position.

Potential energy U = Fr where;

F is the force of attraction between the masses of the moon and the rocket.

r is the radius or height of the object.

From Newton's law of universal gravitation, F = GMm/r²

Potential energy U = (-GMm/r²)×r

Potential energy U = -GMm/r

The force is negative because the objects act upward.

M is the mass of the rocket

m is the mass of the moon

Gravitational potential energy possessed by the rocket

U1 = -GMm/r1

r1 is the altitude covered by the rocket

Gravitational potential energy possessed by the Moon

U2 = -GMm/(r2+r1)

r2 is the radius of the moon

Change in gravitational potential energy ∆U = U2-U1

∆U = -GMm/(r2+r1)-(-GMm/r1)

∆U = -GMm/(r2+r1) + GMm/r1

∆U = -GMm{1/(r2+r1)-1/r1}

Given

G = 6.67×10^-11m³/kgs²

M = 1130kg

m = 7.36×10²²kg

r1 = 215km = 215,000m

r2 = 1740km = 1,740,000m

∆U = -6.67×10^-11× 7.36×10²² × 1130{1/(215,000+1,740,000)-1/215000}

∆U= -55.47×10¹⁴{1/1955000-1/215000}

∆U = -55.47×10¹⁴{5.12×10^-7 - 4.65×10^-6}

∆U = -284×10^7 + 257.94×10^8

∆U = 22,954,000,000Joules

∆U = 2.296×10^10Joules

How much equal charge should be placed on the earth and the moon so that the electrical repulsion balances the gravitational for

kumpel [21]

As we know that electrostatic force between two charges is given as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

here we know that electrostatic repulsion force is balanced by the gravitational force between them

so here force of attraction due to gravitation is given as

$F_g = 1.98 \times 10^{20} N$

here we can assume that both will have equal charge of magnitude "q"

now we have

$1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(q^2)}{(3.84 \times 10^8)^2}$

$1.98 \times 10^{20} = (6.10 \times 10^{-8}) q^2$

now we have

$q = 5.7 \times 10^{13} C$

Consider a heat pump that operates on the reversed Carnot cycle with R-134a as the working fluid executed under the saturation d

Schach [20]

Answer:

Work out = 28.27 kJ/kg

Explanation:

For R-134a, from the saturated tables at 800 kPa, we get

$h_{fg}$ = 171.82 kJ/kg

Therefore, at saturation pressure 140 kPa, saturation temperature is

$T_{L}$ = -18.77°C = 254.23 K

At saturation pressure 800 kPa, the saturation temperature is

$T_{H}$ = 31.31°C = 304.31 K

Now heat rejected will be same as enthalpy during vaporization since heat is rejected from saturated vapour state to saturated liquid state.

Thus, $q_{reject}$ = $h_{fg}$ = 171.82 kJ/kg

We know COP of heat pump

COP = $\frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

= $\frac{304.31}{304.31-254.23}$

= 6.076

Therefore, Work out put, W = $\frac{q_{reject}}{COP}$

= 171.82 / 6.076

= 28.27 kJ/kg
