Suppose that the hatch on the side of a Mars lander is built and tested on Earth so that the internal pressure just balances the

external pressure. The hatch is a disk 50.0 cm in diameter. When the lander goes to Mars, where the external pressure is 650 N/m^2, what will be the net force (in newtowns and pounds) on the hatch, assuming that the internal pressure is the same in both cases? Will it be an inward or outward force? Answer= 19.8 kN, 4440 lb. Outward force. Please explain how to get these answers. Equation in textbook : Fnet=(P2-P1)A

Answer:

F=19.8kN=4442lb

Explanation:

On Earth the atmospheric presure is P_E=101325 N/m^2. This will be the pressure inside the lander. Outside, the pressure on Mars will be P_M=650 N/m^2. This means that the net force will be outward (since inside the pressure is higher) and, since the area of the hatch is A=\pi r^2, of value:

F=(P_E-P_M)\pi r^2=(101325N/m^2-650N/m^2)\pi (\frac{0.5m}{2})^2=19768N=19.8kN

Since 1lb in weight  is equal to 4.45N, we can write:

F=19768N=19768N\frac{1lb}{4.45N}=4442lb

A 2-kW electric heater takes 15 min to boil a quantity of water. If this is done once a day and power costs 10 cents per kWh, wh
frozen [14]

Answer:

<h2> $1.50</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

power P= 2 kW

time t= 15 min to hours = 15/60= 1/4 h

cost of power consumption per kWh= 10 cent = $0.1

We are expected to compute the cost of operating the heater for 30 days

but let us computer the energy consumption for one day

Energy of heater  for one day= 2* 1/4 = 0.5 kWh

the cost of operating the heater for 30 days= 0.5*0.1*30= $1.50

<u><em>Hence it will cost  $1.50 for 30 days operation</em></u>

Ocean waves of wavelength 26 m are moving directly toward a concrete barrier wall at 4.0 m/s . The waves reflect from the wall,
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a) the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength λ = 26 m

velocity v = 4.0 m/s

a) How far from the wall is she?

Now, The first antinode is formed at a distance λ/2 from the wall, since the separation distance between the person and wall is;

x = λ/2

we substitute

x = 26 m / 2

x = 13 m

Therefore, the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

we know that the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed is;

v = fλ

hence, f = v/λ

we also know that frequency is expressed as the reciprocal of the time period;

f = 1/T

Hence

1/T = v/λ

solve for T

Tv = λ

T = λ/v

we substitute

T = 26 m / 4 m/s

T = 6.5 s

Therefore, the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

A 3200-lb car is moving at 64 ft/s down a 30-degree grade when it runs out of fuel. Find its velocity after that if friction exe
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The velocity is 40 ft/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 3200 lb

Angle = 30°

Speed = 64 ft/s

The resistive force with magnitude proportional to the square of the speed,

F_{r}=kv^2

Where, k = 1 lb s²/ft²

We need to calculate the velocity

Using balance equation

F\sin\theta-F_{r}=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

Put the value into the formula

3200\sin 30-kv^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

Put the value of k

3200\times\dfrac{1}{2}-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

1600-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

At terminal velocity \dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}=0

So, 1600-v^2=0

v=\sqrt{1600}

v=40\ ft/sec

Hence, The velocity is 40 ft/sec.
