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

Anni [7]

Answer:

a) W_cycle = 200 KW , n_th = 33.33 %  , Irreversible

b) W_cycle = 600 KW , n_th = 100 %     , Impossible

c) W_cycle = 400 KW , n_th = 66.67 %  , Reversible

Explanation:

Given:

- The temperatures for hot and cold reservoirs are as follows:

  TL = 400 K

  TH = 1200 K

Find:

For each case W_cycle , n_th ( Thermal Efficiency ) :

(a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

(b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

(c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200kW

- Determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible.

Solution:

- The work done by the cycle is given by first law of thermodynamics:

                                 W_cycle = QH - QC

- For categorization of cycle is given by second law of thermodynamics which states that:

                                 n_th < n_max     ...... irreversible

                                 n_th = n_max     ...... reversible

                                 n_th > n_max     ...... impossible

- Where n_max is the maximum efficiency that could be achieved by a cycle with Hot and cold reservoirs as follows:

                                n_max = 1 - TL / TH = 1 - 400/1200 = 66.67 %

And,                         n_th = W_cycle / QH

a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 400 = 200 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 200 / 600 = 33.33 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 33.333 %                n_max = 66.67 %

                                       n_th < n_max  

      Hence,                Irreversible Process  

b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 0 = 600 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 600 / 600 = 100 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

                 n_th = 100 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th > n_max  

      Hence,               Impossible Process              

c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 200 = 400 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 400 / 600 = 66.67 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 66.67 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th = n_max  

      Hence,                Reversible Process

Your family has asked you to estimate the operating costs of your clothes dryer for the year. The clothes dryer in your home has
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.

Explanation:

Given that the clothes dryer in my home has a power rating of 2250 Watts, and to dry one typical load of clothes the dryer will run for approximately 45 minutes, and in Ontario, the cost of electricity is $ 0.11 / kWh, to calculate the costs to run the dryer for one year the following calculation must be performed:

1 watt = 0.001 kilowatt

2250/45 = 50 watts per minute

45 x 365 = 16,425 / 60 = 273.75 hours of consumption

50 x 60 = 300 watt = 0.3 kw / h

0.3 x 273.75 = 82.125

82.125 x 0.11 = 9.03

Therefore, the costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.

Answer:

Penetration testing

<h3>What is Penetrating Testing?</h3>
  • A penetration test, colloquially known as a pen test or ethical hacking, is an authorized simulated cyberattack on a computer system, performed to evaluate the security of the system; this is not to be confused with a vulnerability assessment.

The coil of a relay takes a current of 0.12A when at room temperature of 15 ° C and connected to a 6V supply. If the minimum ope
Romashka [77]

Answer:

  61.5 °C

Explanation:

The resistance of the relay coil at 15 °C is R = V/I = 6/0.12 = 50 ohms. In order for the coil current to remain above 0.10 A, the resistance must remain below R = 6/0.10 = 60 ohms.

At some temperature difference ΔT from 15 °C, the resistance of the coil will be ...

  R = R0(1 +α·ΔT)

where R0 is the resistance at 15 °C, α is the temperature coefficient of resistance, and ΔT is the temperature change. We want to solve this for ΔT:

  R/R0 = 1 +α·ΔT

  (R/R0 -1)/α = ΔT = (60/50 -1)/0.0043 ≈ 46.5 . . . . °C

The relay may fail to operate at temperatures above (15 +46.5) °C = 61.5 °C.
