Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Temperature of the air in the balloon = 272°C

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of balloon = 500 m³

Air temperature = 15° C = 273 + 15 = 288 K

Total weight = 290 kg

Density of air = 1.23 kg/m³

Find:

Temperature of the air in the balloon

Computation:

Density of hot air = Density of air - [Total weight / Volume of balloon]

Density of hot air = 1.23 - [290 - 500]

Density of hot air = 0.65 kg/m³

[Density of hot air][Temperature of the air in the balloon] = [Density of air][Air temperature ]

Temperature of the air in the balloon = [(1.23)(288)]/(0.65)

Temperature of the air in the balloon = 544.98

Temperature of the air in the balloon = 545 K

Temperature of the air in the balloon = 545 - 273 = 272°C

A student has to work the following problem: A block is being pulled along at constant speed on a horizontal surface a distance

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The answer cannot be found until it is known whether q is greater than, less than, or equal to 45°.

Explanation:

Since block moves with constant speed

So, frictional force

f = FCosq

Work done by friction

W = - fd

W = - fd Cos q

The answer may be greater or less than - fdSinq. It depends on the value of q which is less than, or equal to 45°.

Assume you have a rocket in Earth orbit and want to go to Mars. The required change in velocity is ΔV≈9.6km/s . There are two op

Nostrana [21]

Answer: Part 1: Propellant Fraction (MR) = 8.76

Part 2: Propellant Fraction (MR) = 1.63

Explanation: The Ideal Rocket Equation is given by:

Δv = $v_{ex}.ln(\frac{m_{f}}{m_{e}} )$

Where:

$v_{ex}$ is relationship between exhaust velocity and specific impulse

$\frac{m_{f}}{m_{e}}$ is the porpellant fraction, also written as MR.

The relationship $v_{ex}$ is: $v_{ex} = g_{0}.Isp$

To determine the fraction:

Δv = $v_{ex}.ln(\frac{m_{f}}{m_{e}} )$

$ln(MR) = \frac{v}{v_{ex}}$

Knowing that change in velocity is Δv = 9.6km/s and $g_{0}$ = 9.81m/s²

Note: Velocity and gravity have different measures, so to cancel them out, transform km in m by multiplying velocity by 10³.

Part 1: Isp = 450s

$ln(MR) = \frac{v}{v_{ex}}$

ln(MR) = $\frac{9.6.10^{3}}{9.81.450}$

ln (MR) = 2.17

MR = $e^{2.17}$

MR = 8.76

Part 2: Isp = 2000s

$ln(MR) = \frac{v}{v_{ex}}$

ln (MR) = $\frac{9.6.10^{3}}{9.81.2.10^{3}}$

ln (MR) = 0.49

MR = $e^{0.49}$

MR = 1.63
