You are in a hot air balloon, 350 m above the flat Texas plains. You look out toward the horizon. How far out can you see--that

is, how far is your horizon? The Earth's radius is about 6400 km.

Refer to the diagram shown below.

x =  the distance (horizon) that you can see from the balloon,

Because the radius of the earth is 6400 km, and the balloon is 350 n above the earth's surface, therefore
h = 6400 + 0.350 = 6400.35 km.

From the Pythagorean theorem, obtain
x = √(6400.35² - 6400²) = 66.934 km

Answer: Your horizon is  66.934 km (or 66,934 m)

A power electronics package has been designed to handle 400W of power dissipation. Find out the change in output power handling
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

First we must find the real power that is dissipating for each of the two cases, this is achieved by multiplying the nominal power by the efficiency

P=Poη

P=power

Po=nominal power

η=efficiency

POWER NUMBER 1

P1=400*0.89=356W

POWER NUMBER 2

P2=400*0.94=376W

then we find the power change by subtracting both results

ΔP=P2-P1=376-356=20W

always ensure that the efficiency in any system is maximized, because it is always required that the amount of energy delivered by the system is maximum with the same input power.

A uniform narrow tube 1.90 m long is open at both ends. It resonates at two successive harmonics of frequencies 280 Hz and 294 H
Over [174]

Answer:

a)14Hz

b)26.6m/s

Explanation:

a)we were given

the first harmonics frequencies as 280 Hz

The second harmonic frequency as 294 Hz.

The fundamental frequency is equal to the gap which means the distance that exist between the harmonics, then

the fundamental frequency=(294 - 280 = 10 Hz)

= 14Hz

b) We know the frequency and the wavelength of the sound wave (

We were told that the wavelength must be twice the length of the tube then, velocity can be calculated as

And fundamental frequency= 14Hz, and distance of 1.90 m then

v = f*2L = (14Hz)*2*(1.90 m) = 26.6m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound in the gas in the tubes is 26.6m/s
