Why does Quito, Equator has very little changes to the daylight hours throughout the year?

1 answer:

4 0

Because of the position on the equator, the change in rotation of the Earth on its axis throughout the year doesn't affect it much. Unlike the poles, Quito is almost constantly in direct view of the sun. So, because of lack of change in rotation, the daylight hours are hardly varied as Quito is almost constantly in more or less the same spot in relation to the sun.

A 92kg astronaut and a 1200kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, giving

Harman [31]

Answer:

13.7m

Explanation:

Since there's no external force acting on the astronaut or the satellite, the momentum must be conserved before and after the push. Since both are at rest before, momentum is 0.

After the push

$m_av_a + m_sv_s = 0$

Where $m_a = 92kg$ is the mass of the astronaut, $m_s = 1200kg$ is the mass of the satellite, $v_s = 0.14 m/s$ is the speed of the satellite. We can calculate the speed $v_a$ of the astronaut:

$v_a = \frac{-m_sv_s}{m_a} = \frac{-1200*0.14}{92} = -1.83 m/s$

So the astronaut has a opposite direction with the satellite motion, which is further away from the shuttle. Since it takes 7.5 s for the astronaut to make contact with the shuttle, the distance would be

d = vt = 1.83 * 7.5 = 13.7 m

Assume you need to design a hydronic system that can deliver 80,000 Btu/hr. What flow rate of water is required if the temperatu

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

At 10°F change in temperature

Mass flowrate = 1.01 kg/s = 2.227 lbm/s

Volumetric flowrate = 1010 m³/s = 35667.8 ft³/s

At 20°F change in temperature

Mass flowrate = 0.505 kg/s = 1.113 lbm/s

Volumetric flowrate = 505 m³/s = 17833.9 ft³/s

Explanation:

80000 btu/hr = 23445.7 W

P = ṁc(ΔT)

ṁ = MASS flowrate

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.K,

ΔT = change in temperature = 10°F

To convert, a change of 18°F is equal to a change of 10°C

A change of 10°F = 10×10/18 = 5.556°C = 5.556K

P = ṁc(ΔT)

23445.7 = ṁ(4182 × 5.556)

ṁ = 23445.7/(4182 × 5.556)

ṁ = 1.01 kg/s = 2.227 lbm/s

In volumetric flow rate, Q = density × mass flowrate = 1000 × 1.01 = 1010 m³/s = 35667.8 ft³/s

For a change of 20°F,

ΔT = change in temperature = 20°F

To convert, a change of 18°F is equal to a change of 10°C

A change of 20°F = 20×10/18 = 11.1111°C = 11.111K

P = ṁc(ΔT)

23445.7 = ṁ(4182 × 11.111)

ṁ = 23445.7/(4182 × 11.111)

ṁ = 0.505 kg/s = 1.113 lbm/s

In volumetric flow rate, Q = density × mass flowrate = 1000 × 0.505 = 505 m³/s = 17833.9 ft³/s

Hope this Helps!!!

Which statement is true for a car that first goes around a curve of radius r at a constant speed v, and then goes around the sam

sasho [114]

Centripetal force is equal to (mv^2)/r
The way I use to answer these question is to set every variable to 1
m=1
v=1
r=1
so centripetal force =1
then change the variable we're looking at
and since we're find when it's half we could either change it to 1/2 or 2, but 2 is easier to use
m=1
v=2
r=1
((1)×(2)^2)/1=4
So the velocity in the 1st part is half the velocity in the 2nd part and the centripetal force is 4× less
The answer is the centripetal force is 1/4 as big the second time around

Two spherical objects have masses of 3.1 x 10^5 kg and 6.5 x 10^3 kg. The gravitational attraction between them is 65 N. How far

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

4.55 x 10⁹m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object 1 = 3.1 x 10⁵kg

Mass of object 2 = 6.5 x 10³kg

Gravitational force = 65N

Unknown:

Distance between them = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below from the universal gravitational law;

Fg = $\frac{G mass 1 x mass 2}{distance ^{2} }$

G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

65 = $\frac{6.67 x 10^{11} x 3.1 x 10^{5} x 6.5 x 10^{3} }{distance^{2} }$

Distance = 4.55 x 10⁹m
