Consider an airplane with a wing area of 240 ft2 , a span of 44 ft, an Oswald efficiency of 0.75, and a zero-lift drag coefficie

nt of 240 counts (i.e., CD0=0.024). Presume that the airplane is operating at 8,000 ft altitude at a weight of 7,600 lbs.
a. What is the minimum drag in lbs that the aircraft can achieve at this altitude and weight?

b. What is the speed in knots at which this minimum drag occurs?

c. What is the minimum power required in hp that the aircraft can achieve at this altitude and weight?

d. What is the speed in kts at which this minimum power required occurs?

Answer:

Drag force=1/2Cd*Area*density*V^2

A=240 ft^2

cd=0.75

Drage force=675 lbs

A battery charger can produce 3A at 12 Volt and charges a battery fer 2 hr. Calculate work in KJ.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 259.2 KJ

Explanation:

The formula calculate work don in a circuit is given by :-

$W=QV$ , where Q is charge and V is the potential difference.

The formula to calculate charge in circuit :-

$Q=It$ , where I is current and t is time.

Given : Current : $I=3A$

Potential difference : $V=12\ V$

Time : $t=2\ hr=2(3600)\text{ seconds}=7200\text{ seconds}$

Now, $Q=3(7200)=21,600\ C$

Then, $W=(21600)(12)=259,200\text{ Joules}=259.2\text{ KJ}$

Hence, the work done = 259.2 KJ

A nasa spacecraft measures the rate r of at which atmospheric pressure on mars decreases with altitude. the result at a certain

Lesechka [4]

Answer: $4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4$

$1 kPa= 10^3 Pa$

$1 km=10^5 cm$

$1kPa/km=0.01 Pa/cm$

$1kPa/km=10^{-8} J/cm^4$

$\Rightarrow r= 0.0421 kPa/km= 0.0421 kPa/km \times \frac{10^{-8} J/cm^4}{1 kPa/km}= 0.0421 \times 10^{-8}J/cm^4=4.21 \times 10^{-10} J/cm^4$

Newtons laws of motion

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Law 1. A body continues in its state of rest, or in uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force.

Law 2. A body acted upon by a force moves in such a manner that the time rate of change of momentum equals the force.

Law 3. If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

The specific heat of substance A is greater than that of substance B. Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equa

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)$

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

Explanation:

For this case we know the following info:

$c_{pA} > c_{pB}$

Where c means specific heat for the substance A and B.

We also know that the initial temperatures for both sustances are equal:

$T_{iA}= T_{iB}$

We assume that we don't have melting or vaporization in the 2 substances. So we just have presence of sensible heat given by this formula:

$Q = m c_p \Delta T$

And for this case we know that Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equal amounts of energy are added to them, so then we have this:

$Q_A = Q_B$

And if we replace the formula for sensible heat we got:

$m_A c_{pA} \Delta T_A = m_B c_{pB} \Delta T_B$

And if we replace for the change of the temperature we got:

$m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T_{iA}) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T_{iB})$

And since $T_{iA}= T_{iB}= T$ we have this:

$m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)$

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)
