Answer:

Explanation:

Plutonium-239 is one of the two fissile materials used for the production of nuclear weapons and in some nuclear reactors as a source of energy. The other fissile material is uranium-235. Plutonium-239 is virtually nonexistent in nature. It is made by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. Uranium-238 is present in quantity in most reactor fuel; hence plutonium-239 is continuously made in these reactors. Since plutonium-239 can itself be split by neutrons to release energy, plutonium-239 provides a portion of the energy generation in a nuclear reactor.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 730 m/h at a heading of 44.3 ◦ . The velo

Goshia [24]

Answer:

So airplane will be 1324.9453 m apart after 2.9 hour

Explanation:

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is = 83 - 44.3 = $83-44.3=38.7^{\circ}$

Distance traveled by first plane = 730×2.9 = 2117 m

And distance traveled by second plane = 590×2.9 = 1711 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 38.7.

Using the law of cosine, $d^2$ representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

$d^2=2117^2 + 1711^2 -2\times (2117)\times (1711)cos(38.7)=1755480.2482$

d = 1324.9453 m

An astronaut lands on a new, recently discovered planet in a different star system. The astronaut measures the acceleration due

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The radius of the new planet is ~2.04 * 10⁶ m, or 2,041,752 m.

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

$\displaystyle F_g=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Let's look at Newton's 2nd Law:

$F=ma$

We can set these equations equal to each other:

$\displaystyle G\frac{Mm}{r^2} =ma$

The mass of the second mass (astronaut) cancels out. We are left with:

$\displaystyle G\frac{M}{r^2} =a$

We are solving for the radius of the new planet, so we can rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{a} }$

Substitute in our known values given in the problem (G = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ ; M = 7.5 * 10²³ ; a = 12).

$\displaystyle r =\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(7.5 \times 10^{23}}{12} }$
$r=2.04 \times 10^6$

The radius of the new planet is ~2.04 * 10⁶ m.

ASAP please!! The force vectors on an aircraft are as shown. Find the net (resultant force).

ioda

Answer:

The magnitude of the net force is 5430N

Explanation:

I suggest to define the axes as aligned to the axis of the plane. This will require you to decompose only one vector, namely the Weight. We need two components of the W force: one in horizontal direction of the plane, the other perpendicular to it. Through a simple triangle argument you will se that the plane-horizontal component of W is

$W_D=3600 N\cdot\sin 27^\circ=1634N$

acting in the direction of the Drag, and the plane-perpendicular component is:

$W_L=-3600N\cdot\cos 27^\circ=-3208N$

with negative sign since it counteracts the Lift.

So the components of the netforce F are:

$F_h=T-D-W_D=(8000-1000-1634)N=5366N\\F_v=L+W_L=(4100-3208)N=829N$

The magnitude of the net force is:

$|F|=\sqrt{5366^2+829^2}N = 5430N$
