What is the most likely reason the rover won't travel in a straight line?

1 answer:

6 0

The rovers were designed to trek up to 100 meters (about 110 yards or 328 feet) across the martian surface each martian day, though they have gone much farther. While a complete martian day (called a sol) is about 24 hours and 40 minutes long (or 24 hours 37.5 minutes if you prefer), the Sun can only provide enough power for driving during a four-hour window around high noon. That means the rovers have to be able to move quickly and effectively.
Moving safely from rock to rock or location to location is a major challenge because of the communication time delay between Earth and Mars, which is about 20 minutes on average. Unlike a remote controlled car, the drivers of rovers on Mars cannot instantly see what is happening to a rover at any given moment and they cannot send quick commands to prevent the rover from running into a rock or falling off of a cliff.
During surface operations on Mars, each rover receives a new set of instructions at the beginning of each sol. Sent from the scientists and engineers on Earth, the command sequence tells the rover what targets to go to and what science experiments to perform on Mars. The rover is expected to move over a given distance, precisely position itself with respect to a target, and deploy its instruments to take close-up pictures and analyze the minerals or elements of rocks and soil.

The diameter of a cylindrical water tank is Do and its height is H. The tank is filled with water, which is open to the atmosphe

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

a. The time required for the tank to empty halfway is presented as follows;

$t_1 = \dfrac{D_0^2 }{D^2 } \cdot \sqrt{ \dfrac{H}{g} } \cdot \left (\sqrt{2} -1 \right)$

b. The time it takes for the tank to empty the remaining half is presented as follows;

$t_2 = { \dfrac{ D_0^2 }{D} \cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{H}{g} }$

The total time 't', is presented as follows;

$t = \sqrt{2} \cdot \dfrac{D_0^2 }{D^2 } \cdot \sqrt{ \dfrac{H}{g} }$

Explanation:

a. The diameter of the tank = D₀

The height of the tank = H

The diameter of the orifice at the bottom = D

The equation for the flow through an orifice is given as follows;

v = √(2·g·h)

Therefore, we have;

$\dfrac{P_1}{\gamma} + z_1 + \dfrac{v_1}{2 \cdot g} = \dfrac{P_2}{\gamma} + z_2 + \dfrac{v_2}{2 \cdot g}$

$\left( \dfrac{P_1}{\gamma} -\dfrac{P_2}{\gamma} \right) + (z_1 - z_2) + \dfrac{v_1}{2 \cdot g} = \dfrac{v_2}{2 \cdot g}$

Where;

P₁ = P₂ = The atmospheric pressure

z₁ - z₂ = dh (The height of eater in the tank)

A₁·v₁ = A₂·v₂

v₂ = (A₁/A₂)·v₁

A₁ = π·D₀²/4

A₂ = π·D²/4

A₁/A₂ = D₀²/(D²) = v₂/v₁

v₂ = (D₀²/(D²))·v₁ = √(2·g·h)

The time, 'dt', it takes for the water to drop by a level, dh, is given as follows;

dt = dh/v₁ = (v₂/v₁)/v₂·dh = (D₀²/(D²))/v₂·dh = (D₀²/(D²))/√(2·g·h)·dh

We have;

$dt = \dfrac{D_0^2}{D} \cdot\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot h} } dh$

The time for the tank to drop halfway is given as follows;

$\int\limits^{t_1}_0 {} \, dt = \int\limits^h_{\frac{h}{2} } { \dfrac{D_0^2}{D} \cdot\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot h} } } \, dh$

$t_1 =\left[{ \dfrac{D_0^2}{D\cdot \sqrt{2\cdot g} } \cdot\dfrac{h^{-\frac{1}{2} +1}}{-\frac{1}{2} +1 } \right]_{\frac{H}{2} }^{H} =\left[ { \dfrac{D_0^2 \cdot 2\cdot \sqrt{h} }{D\cdot \sqrt{2\cdot g} } \right]_{\frac{H}{2} }^{H} = { \dfrac{2 \cdot D_0^2 }{D\cdot \sqrt{2\cdot g} } \cdot \left(\sqrt{H} - \sqrt{\dfrac{H}{2} } \right)$

$t_1 = { \dfrac{2 \cdot D_0^2 }{D^2\cdot \sqrt{2\cdot g} } \cdot \left(\sqrt{H} - \sqrt{\dfrac{H}{2} } \right) = { \dfrac{\sqrt{2} \cdot D_0^2 }{D^2\cdot \sqrt{ g} } \cdot \left(\sqrt{H} - \sqrt{\dfrac{H}{2} } \right)$

$t_1 = { \dfrac{\sqrt{2} \cdot D_0^2 }{D^2\cdot \sqrt{ g} } \cdot \left(\sqrt{H} - \sqrt{\dfrac{H}{2} } \right) = { \dfrac{D_0^2 }{D^2\cdot \sqrt{ g} } \cdot \left(\sqrt{2 \cdot H} - \sqrt{{H} } \right) =\dfrac{D_0^2 }{D^2 } \cdot \sqrt{ \dfrac{H}{g} } \cdot \left (\sqrt{2} -1 \right)$ The time required for the tank to empty halfway, t₁, is given as follows;

$t_1 = \dfrac{D_0^2 }{D^2 } \cdot \sqrt{ \dfrac{H}{g} } \cdot \left (\sqrt{2} -1 \right)$

(b) The time it takes for the tank to empty completely, t₂, is given as follows;

$\int\limits^{t_2}_0 {} \, dt = \int\limits^{\frac{h}{2} }_{0 } { \dfrac{D_0^2}{D} \cdot\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot h} } } \, dh$

$t_2 =\left[{ \dfrac{D_0^2}{D\cdot \sqrt{2\cdot g} } \cdot\dfrac{h^{-\frac{1}{2} +1}}{-\frac{1}{2} +1 } \right]_{0}^{\frac{H}{2} } =\left[ { \dfrac{D_0^2 \cdot 2\cdot \sqrt{h} }{D\cdot \sqrt{2\cdot g} } \right]_{0 }^{\frac{H}{2} } = { \dfrac{2 \cdot D_0^2 }{D\cdot \sqrt{2\cdot g} } \cdot \left( \sqrt{\dfrac{H}{2} } -0\right)$

$t_2 = { \dfrac{ D_0^2 }{D} \cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{H}{g} }$

The time it takes for the tank to empty the remaining half, t₂, is presented as follows;

$t_2 = { \dfrac{ D_0^2 }{D} \cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{H}{g} }$

The total time, t, to empty the tank is given as follows;

$t = t_1 + t_2 = \dfrac{D_0^2 }{D^2 } \cdot \sqrt{ \dfrac{H}{g} } \cdot \left (\sqrt{2} -1 \right) + t_2 = { \dfrac{ D_0^2 }{D} \cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{H}{g} } = \dfrac{D_0^2 }{D^2 } \cdot \sqrt{ \dfrac{H}{g} } \cdot \sqrt{2}$

$t = \sqrt{2} \cdot \dfrac{D_0^2 }{D^2 } \cdot \sqrt{ \dfrac{H}{g} }$
