A satellite would have a mass of 270 kg on the surface of Mars. Determine the weight of the satellite in pounds if it is in orbi

Answer:

26 lbf

Explanation:

The mass of the satellite is the same regardless of where it is.

The weight however, depends on the acceleration of gravity.

The universal gravitation equation:

g = G * M / d^2

Where

G: universal gravitation constant (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s))

M: mass of the body causing the gravitational field (mass of Earth = 6*10^24 kg)

d: distance to that body

15000 miles = 24140 km

The distance is to the center of Earth.

Earth radius = 6371 km

Then:

d = 24140 + 6371 = 30511 km

g = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24 / 30511000^2 = 0.43 m/s^2

Then we calculate the weight:

w = m * a

w = 270 * 0.43 = 116 N

116 N is 26 lbf

Difference between star and delta connection​
Irina18 [472]

<em>In Star connection, the line voltage is equal to root three times of the phase voltage, whereas in delta connection line voltage is equal to the phase voltage. ... In star connection, phase voltage is low as 1/√3 times the line voltage, whereas in delta connection phase voltage is equal to the line voltage.</em>

A bakery wants to determine how many trays of doughnuts it should prepare each day. Demand is normal with a mean of 15 trays and
shutvik [7]

The number of trays that should be prepared if the owner wants a service level of at least 95% is; 7 trays

<h3>How to utilize z-score statistics?</h3>

We are given;

Mean; μ = 15

Standard Deviation; σ = 5

We are told that the distribution of demand score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula for z-score is;

z = (x' - μ)/σ

We want to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.95;

P(X > x) = P(z > (x - 15)/5) = 0.95

⇒ 1 -  P(z ≤ (x - 15)/5) = 0.95

Thus;

P(z ≤ (x - 15)/5) = 1 - 0.95

P(z ≤ (x - 15)/5) = 0.05

The value of z from the z-table of 0.05 is -1.645

Thus;

(x - 15)/5 = -1.645

x ≈ 7

Complete Question is;

A bakery wants to determine how many trays of doughnuts it should prepare each day. Demand is normal with a mean of 15 trays and standard deviation of 5 trays. If the owner wants a service level of at least 95%, how many trays should he prepare (rounded to the nearest whole tray)? Assume doughnuts have no salvage value after the day is complete. 6 5 4 7 unable to determine with the above information.

Match each titration term with its definition.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

1) titration

2) titrand

3) equivalence point

4) titrant

5) Burette

6) Indicator

Explanation:

The process in which a known volume of a standard solution is added to another solution so that the standard solution can react with the solution of unknown concentration such that its concentration is determined  can be referred to as titration.

The solution which is added to another solution  is called the titrant.  The titrand is the solution of unknown concentration

A burette is a glassware used to slowly add a known volume of the titrant to the titrand.

The indicator used signals the point when the reaction is complete by a color change. At this point, a stoichiometric amount of titrant has been added to the titrand. This is also referred to as the equivalence point.

An inductor has a 50.0-Ω reactance when connected to a 60.0-Hz source. The inductor is removed and then connected to a 45.0-Hz s
nignag [31]

Given:

X_{L} = 50.0 \ohm

frequency, f = 60.0 Hz

frequency, f' = 45.0 Hz

V_rms} = 85.0 V

Solution:

To calculate max current in inductor, I_{L(max):

At f = 60.0 Hz

X_{L} = 2\pi fL

50.0 = 2\pi\times 60.0\times L

L = 0.1326 H

Now, reactance X_{L} at f' = 45.0 Hz:

X'_{L} = 2\pi f'L

X'_{L} = 2\pi\times 45.0\times 0.13263 = 37.5\ohm

Now, I_{L(max) is given by:

I_{L(max) = \sqrt {\frac{2V_{rms}}{X'_{L}}}

I_{L(max) = \sqrt {\frac{2\times 85.0}{37.5}} = 2.13 A

Therefore,  max current in the inductor, I_{L(max) = 2.13 A
