At a certain instant, the earth, the moon, and a stationary 1160 kg spacecraft lie at the vertices of an equilateral triangle wh

ose sides are 3.84 x 10^5 km in length.-What is the minimum amount of work that you would have to do to move the spacecraft to a point far from the earth and moon? You can ignore any gravitational effects due to the other planets or the sun.

Answer:

W = 1.22 \times 10^9 J

Explanation:

Initial potential energy of the given spacecraft is given as

U = -\frac{GM_e m}{r} - \frac{GM_m m}{r}

so we have

U = - \frac{Gm}{r}(M_e + M_m)

so we have

M_e = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

M_m = 7.35 \times 10^{22} kg

m = 1160 kg

r = 3.84 \times 10^8 m

U = - \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(1160)}{3.84 \times 10^8}(5.98 \times 10^{24} + 7.35 \times 10^{22})

U = -1.22 \times 10^9 J

now total work done to move it to infinite is given

W = 0 - U

W = 1.22 \times 10^9 J

An airplane wing is designed so that the speed of the air across the top of the wing is 255 m/s when the speed of the air below

<h2>Answer:442758.96N</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is solved using Bernoulli's equation.

Let P be the pressure at a point.

Let p be the density fluid at a point.

Let v be the velocity of fluid at a point.

Bernoulli's equation states that P+\frac{1}{2}pv^{2}+pgh=constant for all points.

Lets apply the equation of a point just above the wing and to point just below the wing.

Let p_{up} be the pressure of a point just above the wing.

Let p_{do} be the pressure of a point just below the wing.

Since the aeroplane wing is flat,the heights of both the points are same.

\frac{1}{2}(1.29)(255)^{2}+p_{up}= \frac{1}{2}(1.29)(199)^{2}+p_{do}

So,p_{up}-p_{do}=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.29\times (25424)=16398.48Pa

Force is given by the product of pressure difference and area.

Given that area is 27ms^{2}.

So,lifting force is 16398.48\times 27=442758.96N

NEED HELP FAST<br><br>Are the circuits in a car parallel or series? <br>how do you know?
guajiro [1.7K]
The answer is parallel

If the <span>circuits in a car</span> were series, they would go out at the same time.

I hope this helps! :3
