The 243000-lb space-shuttle orbiter touches down at about 236 mi/hr. The drag chute is deployed at 189 mi/hr, the wheel brakes a

re applied at 101 mi/hr until wheelstop, and the drag chute is jettisoned at 35 mi/hr. If the drag chute results in a deceleration of -0.000200v2 (in feet per second squared when the speed v is in feet per second) and the wheel brakes cause a constant deceleration of 3.5 ft/sec2, determine the distance s traveled from 189 mi/hr to wheelstop.

Answer:

5156.37 ft

Explanation:

Given data:

weight ( W ) = 243,000 Ib

Motion of shuttle ; from 189 mi/hr to 101 mi/hr

dv/dt = -0.0002 V^2

I/v * dv/dt = -0.0002 ds

<em>Convert mi/hr to ft/s</em> ( 1 mi/hr = 1.467 ft/s)

189 mi/hr = 277.263 ft/s

101 mi/hr = 148.167 ft/s

After Integrating

In ( 148.167 / 277.263 ) = -0.0002 ( S1 - S2 )

S1 - S2 = -0.627 / -0.0002

S1 - S2 = 3135 ft/s

Now from 101 mi/hr to 35 mi/hr

dv/dt = ( - 0.0002 V^2 + 3.5 )

ds = V*dv / ( -0.0002 v^2 - 3.5 )

given : 35 mi/hr = 51.345 ft/s

101 mi/hr = 148.167 ft/s

Integrate

S3 - S2 = - In( 0.0002 v^2 + 3.5 ) / 0.0002 * 2 ]

= 1644.75 ft/s

S4 - S3 = 376.62 ft/s

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

Total distance travelled = 3135 + 1644.75 + 376.62 = 5156.37 ft

Lúc 7g bạn an đi từ nhà đến trường với tóc độ trung bình là 20km/h . Bạn đến trường lúc 7g20. Tính khoảng cách từ nhà tới trường

Len [333]

Answer:

Distance = 6.667 kilometres

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 20 km/h

Departure time = 7:00

Arrival time = 7:20

Time taken = 20 minutes

To calculate the distance travelled from home to school;

First of all, we would have to convert the value of time in minutes to hours.

Conversion:

60 minutes = 1 hour

20 minutes = X hours

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 20/60 = 1/3 hours

Mathematically, the distance travelled by an object is calculated by using the formula;

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 20 * 1/3

Distance = 20/3 =

Distance = 6.667 kilometres

A +71 nC charge is positioned 1.9 m from a +42 nC charge. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the midpoint of these c

viva [34]

Answer:

The net Electric field at the mid point is 289.19 N/C

Given:

Q = + 71 nC = $71\times 10^{- 9} C$

Q' = + 42 nC = $42\times 10^{- 9} C$

Separation distance, d = 1.9 m

Solution:

To find the magnitude of electric field at the mid point,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q is given by:

$\vec{E} = \frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E} = \frac{71\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E} = 708.03 N/C$

Now,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q' is given by:

$\vec{E'} = \frac{Q'}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E'} = \frac{42\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E'} = 418.84 N/C$

Now,

The net Electric field is given by:

$\vec{E_{net}} = \vec{E} - \vec{E'}$

$\vec{E_{net}} = 708.03 - 418.84 = 289.19 N/C$

Explain what happens to the pitch of a cell phone ring when the wavelength of a sound wave increases

max2010maxim [7]

You get a more low sound.

Conversely, when the wavelength becomes shorter you get a more treble sound.
