Transverse thrusters are used to make large ships fully maneuverable at low speeds without tugboat assistance. A transverse thru

ster consists of a propeller mounted in a duct; the unit is then mounted below the waterline in the bow or stern of the ship. The duct runs completely across the ship. Calculate the thrust developed by a 1900 kW unit supplied to the propeller if the duct is 2.6 m in diameter and the ship is stationary.

Answer:

Thrust developed = 212.3373 kN

Explanation:

Assuming the ship is stationary

<u>Determine the Thrust developed</u>

power supplied to the propeller ( Punit ) = 1900 KW

Duct distance ( diameter ; D  ) = 2.6 m

first step : <em>calculate the area of the duct </em>

A = π/4 * D^2

   =  π/4 * ( 2.6)^2  = 5.3092 m^2

<em>next : calculate the velocity of propeller</em>

Punit = (A*v*β ) / 2  * V^2     ( assuming β = 999 kg/m^3 ) also given V1 = 0

∴V^3 = Punit * 2 / A*β

         = ( 1900 * 10^3 * 2 ) / ( 5.3092 * 999 )

hence V2 = 8.9480 m/s

<em>Finally determine the thrust developed </em>

F = Punit / V2

  = (1900 * 10^3) / ( 8.9480)

  = 212.3373 kN

Vector sum of 15 m, East and 9 m, West is 24 m, East. True False
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Because when you go through east

( +x axis ) then you go to west ( -x axis )

You will subtract -9 from +15

it's become +6

( I talk about the displacement not distance) ( West = - East )

I hope that it's a clear ") .

A player kicks a soccer ball from ground level and sends it flying at an angle of 30 degrees at a speed of 26 m/s. What is the h
dybincka [34]

Given,

A player kicks a soccer hits at an angle of 30° at a speed of 26 m/s

We can resolute the trajectory of soccer into horizontal and vertical components.(Please see the attached file)

We can have,

Horizontal velocity component of ball= 26cos(30°)  = 26×(√3÷2) = 22.51 m/s

And vertical velocity component of ball = 26sin(26°) = 26×(1÷2) = 13 m/s

A rifle is aimed horizontally at a target 49 m away. the bullet hits the target 2.3 cm below the aim point. part a what was the
Nezavi [6.7K]

We use the equation of motion for vertical component,

s_{y} = u_{y} t+\frac{1}{2} gt^2.

Here, s_{y}   is displacement of bullet, u_{y}  is vertical initial velocity of bullet which is equal to zero because bullet was fired horizontally, and t is time of flight.

Therefore,

s_{y} =\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Given, s_{y} =2.3 \ cm = 2.3 \times 10^{-2} \ m

Substituting the values, we get time of flight

2.3 \times 10^{-2} \ m = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times t^2 \\\\ t =\sqrt{46.94 \times 10^{-4} \ s } = 0.069 \ s

A radar for tracking aircraft broadcasts a 12 GHz microwave beam from a 2.0-m-diameter circular radar antenna. From a wave persp
NISA [10]

A) 750 m

First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have

f=12GHz=12\cdot 10^9 Hz is the frequency

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

So the wavelength of the beam is

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{12\cdot 10^9 Hz}=0.025 m

Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}

where

m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe

D = 30 km = 30,000 m

a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)

Substituting, we find

y=\frac{(1)(0.025 m)(30000 m)}{2.0 m}=375 m

and so, the diameter is

d=2y = 750 m

B) 0.23 W/m^2

First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is

r=\frac{750 m}{2}=375 m

So the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (375 m)^2=4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2

And since the power is

P=100 kW = 1\cdot 10^5 W

The average intensity is

I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{1\cdot 10^5 W}{4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2}=0.23 W/m^2
