After the NEAR spacecraft passed Mathilde, on several occasions rocket propellant was expelled to adjust the spacecraft's moment

um in order to follow a path that would approach the asteroid Eros, the final destination for the mission. After getting close to Eros, further small adjustments made the momentum just right to give a circular orbit of radius 45 km (45 × 103 m) around the asteroid. So much propellant had been used that the final mass of the spacecraft while in circular orbit around Eros was only 545 kg. The spacecraft took 1.04 days to make one complete circular orbit around Eros. Calculate what the mass of Eros must be:

Steam enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2 , 500F, with a velocity of 200 ft/s and exits at 60 lbf/in.2 with a velocit

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

$386.2^{\circ}F$

Explanation:

We are given that

$P_1=200lbf/in^2$

$P_2=60lbf/in^2$

$v_1=200ft/s$

$v_2=1700ft/s$

$T_1=500^{\circ}F$

$Q=0$

$C_p=1BTU/lb^{\circ}F$

We have to find the exit temperature.

By steady energy flow equation

$h_1+v^2_1+Q=h_2+v^2_2$

$C_pT_1+\frac{P^2_1}{25037}+Q=C_pT_2+\frac{P^2_2}{25037}$

$1BTU/lb=25037ft^2/s^2$

Substitute the values

$1\times 500+\frac{(200)^2}{25037}+0=1\times T_2+\frac{(1700)^2}{25037}$

$500+1.598=T_2+115.4$

$T_2=500+1.598-115.4$

$T_2=386.2^{\circ}F$

Please help me with this Physics question!

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

D) 11 m/s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the velocity of the hot dog with respect to the observer still outside the train. This velocity will be given by:

$v=v_t + v_m + v_h$

where

$v_t=+10 m/s$ is the velocity of the train (towards right)

$v_m=+2 m/s$ is the velocity of the man (towards right)

$v_h=-1 m/s$ is the velocity of the hot-dog (towards left, so we put a negative sign)

By replacing the numbers into the equation, we find

$v=+10 m/s+2 m/s-1 m/s=+11 m/s$

and the positive sign means the velocity is toward right.
