Explanation:

According to the general theory of relativity, spacetime curves due to the energy it contains. Since mass is a form of energy, "create" gravity. That is, gravity is the effect observed as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime. Therefore, gravity curves the path of light because it curves the space through which light passes.

A 8.34 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

21870.3156 N

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s²

Equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-18.2^2}{2\times 162}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02234\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the craft should be 1.02234 m/s²

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.02234\\\Rightarrow F=8526.3156\ N$

Weight of the craft

$W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.6\\\Rightarrow W=13344\ N$

Thrust

$F_t=F+W\\\Rightarrow F_t=8526.3156+13344\\\Rightarrow F_t=21870.3156\ N$

The thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface is 21870.3156 N

If a car is traveling at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour how long does it take to travel 12 kilometers

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The time taken to travel is, t = 12 minutes

Explanation:

Given data,

The speed of the car, v = 60 km/h

The distance of travel, d = 12 km

The time taken for the travel is t = ?

The speed is defined as the distance divided by the time taken to travel. The formula for speed is,

v = d/t

∴ t = d/v

t = 12 km / 60 km/h

t = 0.2 h

t = 12 minutes

Hence, the time taken to travel is, t = 12 minutes.

A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at 300K. During each cycle, it absorbs 200 calories from the high temperature rese

yanalaym [24]

(a) Zero

The maximum efficiency (Carnot efficiency) of a heat engine is given by

$\eta=1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$

where

$T_C$ is the low-temperature reservoir

$T_H$ is the high-temperature reservoir

For the heat engine in the problem, we have:

$T_C = 300K$

$T_H = 300K$

Therefore, the maximum efficiency is

$\eta=1-\frac{300}{300}=0$

(b) Zero

The efficiency of a heat engine can also be rewritten as

$\eta = \frac{W}{Q_H}$

where

W is the work performed by the engine

$Q_H$ is the heat absorbed from the high-temperature reservoir

In this problem, we know

$\eta=0$

Therefore, since the term $Q_H$ cannot be equal to infinity, the numerator of the fraction must be zero as well, which means

W = 0

So the engine cannot perform any work.
