I think there's a typo because the answer I'm getting is very large.

This is what I'm getting

--------------------------------------

c = speed of light

c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/sec approximately

This is roughly 300 million meters per second

The time it takes the signal to reach the aircraft and come back is 1.4 x 10^3 seconds. Half of this time period is going one direction (say from the radar station to the aircraft), so (1.4 x 10^3)/2 = 7.0 x 10^2 seconds is spent going in this one direction.

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = (3.0 x 10^8) * (7.0 x 10^2)

d = (3.0*7.0) x (10^8*10^2)

d = 21.0 x 10^(8+2)

d = 21.0 x 10^10

d = (2.1 x 10^1) * 10^10

d = 2.1 x (10^1*10^10)

d = 2.1 x 10^11 meters

d = 210,000,000,000 meters (this is 210 billion meters; equivalent to roughly 130,487,950 miles)

Bond [772]

1) The most potential energy is at position A

2) The most kinetic energy is at position C

Explanation:

1)

The gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by the equation

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

From the equation, we see that the potential energy is directly proportional to the heigth of the object: therefore, the roller coaster in this problem will have the most potential energy at its highest postion, so at position A.

2)

The total mechanical energy of the roller coaster at any point along the track is given by

E=PE+KE

where

PE is the potential energy

KE is the kinetic energy

Assuming there is no friction, the mechanical energy E is constant. This means that when PE increases, KE decreases, and when PE increases, KE decreases.

Therefore, the cart will have maximum kinetic energy when the potential energy is at minimum: and since the potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the track, this will occur at the lowest position, so at position C.

Air flows through an adiabatic turbine that is in steady operation. The air enters at 150 psia, 900oF, and 350 ft/s and leaves a
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1486.5\frac{Btu}{s}

Explanation:

The inlet specific volume of air is given by:

v_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\\\v_1=\frac{(0.3704\frac{psia.ft^3}{lbm.R})(1360R)}{150psia}\\\\v_1=3.358\frac{ft^3}{lbm} \ \ \ \  \ \  \ \ \...i

The mass flow rates is expressed as:

\dot m=\frac{1}{v_1}A_1V_1\\\\\dot m=\frac{1}{3.358ft^3/psia}(0.1ft^2)(350ft/s)\\\\\dot m=10.42\frac{lbm}{s}

The energy balance for the system can the be expresses in the rate form as:

E_{in}-E_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot E=0\\\\E_{in}=E_{out}\\\\\dot m(h_1+0.5V_1^2)=\dot W_{out}+\dot m(h_2+0.5V_2^2)+Q_{out}\\\\\dot W_{out}=\dot m(h_2-h_1+0.5(V_2^2-V_1^2))=-m({cp(T_2-t_1)+0.5(V_2^2-V_1^2)})\\\\\\\dot W_{out}=-(10.42lbm/s)[(0.25\frac{Btu}{lbm.\textdegree F})(300-900)\textdegree F+0.5((700ft/s)^2-(350ft/s)^2)(\frac{1\frac{Btu}{lbm}}{25037ft^2/s^2})]\\\\\\\\=1486.5\frac{Btu}{s}

Hence, the mass flow rate of the air is 1486.5Btu/s

Describe the story of the constellation Capricornus. WILL MARK BRAINLEST IF NOT STOLEN FROM A WEBSITE OR ANYTHING WITH A PROPER
ICE Princess25 [194]

Your answer:

In Greek mythology, this constellation is related with the time the Olympian gods sought refuge in Egypt. Unfortunately, following their epic fighting with the Titans, peace did not closing for long, as the monster Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus and Earth, sought revenge. Typhon was once a fearsome fire-breathing creature, taller than mountains and with palms which possessed dragons' heads in region of fingers. The Olympian gods sought to break out by way of adopting a number disguises: Zeus, a ram - Hera, a white cow, Bacchus (another model of the fable suggests Pan) a goat. As Typhon approached, Bacchus/Pan threw himself into the Nile but, in a panic, solely succeeded in altering part of his body, ending up with a goat's physique and the tail of a fish. Meanwhile, Zeus had been dismembered via Typhon, however was saved when Bacchus/Pan let out an ear-splitting yell, distracting the monster lengthy ample for an agile Hermes to gather the supreme god's limbs and cautiously fix him. In gratitude, Zeus transferred Bacchus/Pan to the heavens.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which of the following? Question 4 options: time position velocity displacemen
vovangra [49]

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change in the velocity of an object. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is Acceleration?</h3>
  • It is defined as the rate of change in velocity.
  • It can also be defined as the rate of change in position in a particular direction.

a =  \dfrac {v-u}t\ \ \ \ \rmor}\\\\a = \dfrac {\Delta v }t

Where,

a - acceleration

\Delta v - change in velocity

t - time

Therefore, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change in the velocity of an object.
