What material was the hindenburg made of?

1 answer:

5 0

While gas cells for earlier German zeppelins were made of goldbeater's skin (the outer membrane of cattle intestines) the cells aboard Hindenburg used a new material, similar to that used by the Americans, which was made by brushing layers of gelatine onto a sheet of cotton; this gelatine film was sandwiched between ...

An airplane has a starting velocity of 300m/s. It then accelerates at a rate of 45m/s2 for a time of 10s. What is it's final vel

Olenka [21]

A = (v - u) / t

a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time

45 = (v - 300) / 10

45 × 10 = v - 300

450 + 300 = v

v = 750 m/s

Hope this helps!

P.S. Let me know if you need an explanation

A wave travels at a frequency of 387 Hz. What is the period of the wave?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

¹/₃₈₇ second

Explanation:

The period of a wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

So, simply, the frequency is ¹/₃₈₇ second(s), as that is the reciprocal of the frequency, 387 Hz.

Why x ray is called an electromagnetic wave

Dahasolnce [82]

Because they behave just like all the electromagnetic waves of the spectrum. Same equations, just shorter wavelengths and more energy.

Hope you get it :)

child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a s

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

θ = 13.7º

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the change in the kinetic energy of the combined mass of the child and the sled, is equal to the total work done on the object by external forces.
The external forces capable to do work on the combination of child +sled, are the friction force (opposing to the displacement), and the component of the weight parallel to the slide.
As this last work is just equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy (with opposite sign) , we can write the following equation:

$\Delta K + \Delta U = W_{nc} (1)$

ΔK, is the change in kinetic energy, as follows:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}* m* (v_{f} ^{2} - v_{0} ^{2}) (2)$

ΔU, is the change in the gravitational potential energy.
If we choose as our zero reference level, the bottom of the slope, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

$\Delta U = 0 - m*g*h = -m*g*d* sin\theta (3)$

Finally, the work done for non-conservative forces, is the work done by the friction force, along the slope, as follows:

$W_{nc} = F_{f} * d * cos 180\º \\\\ = 0.2*m*g*d* cos 180\º = -0.2*m*g*d (4)$

Replacing (2), (3), and (4) in (1), simplifying common terms, and rearranging, we have:

$\frac{1}{2}* (v_{f} ^{2} - v_{0} ^{2}) = g*d* sin\theta -0.2*g*d$

Replacing by the givens and the knowns, we can solve for sin θ, as follows: $\frac{1}{2}*( (4.30 m/s) ^{2} - (0.75 m/s)^{2}) = 9.8 m/s2*25.5m* sin\theta -0.2*9.8m/s2*25.5m\\ \\ 8.56 (m/s)2 = 250(m/s)2* sin \theta -50 (m/s)2\\ \\ sin \theta = \frac{58.6 (m/s)2}{250 (m/s)2} = 0.236$ ⇒ θ = sin⁻¹ (0.236) = 13.7º
