NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) System constellation resides at geosynchronous orbit (35,000km) altitude. If a t

echnician at the Goddard Spaceflight Center in Maryland initiates a transmission to the Johnson Spaceflight Center in Houston over TDRS, how long will it be until JSC detects the transmission (one-way latency)? You may assume there is negligible processing delay on the satellite, and that c = 3x108 m/sec.

Answer:

35,000 km = 35,000,000 m = 3.5 E107 m

t = S / v = 3.5 * 10E7 / 3.0 E10E8 = .117 sec

You push a desk with 245 N, but the desk doesn't move due to its friction with the ground. What is the magnitude of the friction
const2013 [10]

If the desk doesn't move, then it's not accelerating.

If it's not accelerating, then the net force on it is zero.

If the net force on it is zero, then any forces on it are balanced.

If there are only two forces on it and they're balanced, then they have equal strengths, and they point in opposite directions.

So the friction on the desk must be equal to your<em> 245N</em> .

The drawing shows an adiabatically isolated cylinder that is divided initially into two identical parts by an adiabatic partitio
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

\gamma = 5/3

T1 = 525 K

T2 = 275 K

We know that

P_1 = \frac{nRT_1}{v}

P_2 = \frac{nrT_2}{v}

n and v remain same at both side. so we have

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{525}{275} = \frac{21}{11}

P_1 = \frac{21}{11} P_2 ..............1

let final pressure is P and temp  T_1 {f} and T_2 {f}

P_1^{1-\gamma} T_1^{\gamma} = P^{1 - \gamma}T_1 {f}^{\gamma}

P_1^{-2/3} T_1^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_1 {f}^{5/3} ..................2

similarly

P_2^{-2/3} T_2^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_2 {f}^{5/3} .............3

divide 2 equation by 3rd equation

\frac{21}{11}^{-2/3} \frac{21}{11}^{5/3} = [\frac{T_1 {f}}{T_2 {f}}]^{5/3}

T_1 {f} = 1.48 T_2 {f}

thus, temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

A brick of gold is 0.1 m wide, 0.1 m high, and 0.2 m long. The density of gold is 19,300 kg/m3. What pressure does the brick exe
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The pressure exerted by the brick on the table is 18,933.3 N/m².

Explanation:

Given;

height of the brick, h = 0.1 m

density of the brick, ρ = 19,300 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

The pressure exerted by the brick on the table is calculated as;

P = ρgh

P = (19,300)(9.81)(0.1)

P = 18,933.3 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the brick on the table is 18,933.3 N/m².

Gasoline burns inside a car’s engine. how does this fuel enable a car to move?
Svetllana [295]
<span> The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine.
Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally.
There is such a thing as an external combustion engine. A steam engine in old-fashioned trains and steam boats is the best example of an external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) in a steam engine burns outside the engine to create steam, and the steam creates motion inside the engine. Internal combustion is a lot more efficient (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an internal combustion engine is a lot smaller than an equivalent external combustion engine. This explains why we don't see any cars using steam engines.

To understand the basic idea behind how a reciprocating internal combustion engine works, it is helpful to have a good mental image of how "internal combustion" works.

One good example is an old Revolutionary War cannon. You have probably seen these in movies, where the soldiers load the cannon with gun powder and a cannon ball and light it. That is internal combustion, but it is hard to imagine that having anything to do with engines.

A potato cannon uses the basic principle behind any reciprocating internal combustion engine: If you put a tiny amount of high-energy fuel (like gasoline) in a small, enclosed space and ignite it, an incredible amount of energy is released in the form of expanding gas. You can use that energy to propel a potato 500 feet. In this case, the energy is translated into potato motion. You can also use it for more interesting purposes. For example, if you can create a cycle that allows you to set off explosions like this hundreds of times per minute, and if you can harness that energy in a useful way, what you have is the core of a car engine! </span>

Ashley squirrel, named Jackie, rides on a bicycle with a constant kinetic energy of 3.6J. The mass of combination of Jackie and
yKpoI14uk [10]

The velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle is 3.328 m/s.

Explanation:

From the given data the constant kinetic energy is 3.6 J. The mass of combination is 0.65 kg. To find the velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle the formula  is

KE = 0.5 x mv2.

To find velocity,

V2=ke/(0.5×m)

V=\sqrt{(ke/(0.5*m)

v= 3.6/(0.5×0.65)

=\sqrt (11077/10)/10

v= 3.328 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle is 3.328m/s.
