Complete Question

Question 18 (3 points) Solve the problem. (3 points) A solar reflector is made using 31 identical triangular-shaped mirrors, each having sides 2.4m, 2. 3m, 1.5 m. What is the total surface area of the reflector?

A) 33 m2  

B) 86 m2

C) 52 m2

D)  34 m2

Answer:

The value is  Area  =2.78 \   m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sides are  a =  2.4 m

                             b  =  2.3 m

                             c  =  1.5 m

Generally the semi perimeter is mathematically represented as

           s = \frac { a + b  + c  }{2 }

=>       s = \frac { 2.4  + 2.3  + 1.5   }{2 }

=>       s =3.1  \  m

Generally the using Heron's  formula we have that the  surface are a is  mathematically represented as

            Area  =  \sqrt{S (S -  a) (S - b )(S - c ) }

=>         Area  =  \sqrt{3.1  (3.1  -   2.4) (3.1  -  2.3 )(3.1  -  1.5 ) }

=>        Area  =2.78 \   m^2

How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 6526 kg car vertically upwards at 8.9 m/s^2?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The value is T =  122036.2 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the car is  m  = 6526 \  kg

      The acceleration  is  a=  8.9 \  m/s^2

Generally the net force applied on the rope is mathematically represented as

          F_{net}   =  T -  W

Here W is the weight of the car which is evaluated as

         W =  m * g

=>      W =  6526  * 9.8

=>       W =  63954.8 \  N

Generally the net force can also be mathematically represented as

       F =  m * a

So

        m * a  =  T  -  63954.8

=>     6526  *  8.9 =  T  -  63954.8

=>      T =  122036.2 \  N

During a certain comet’s orbit around the Sun, its closest distance to the Sun is 0.6 AU, and its farthest distance from the Sun
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

At the closest point

Explanation:

We can simply answer this question by applying Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion.

It states that:

"A line connecting the center of the Sun to any other object orbiting around it (e.g. a comet) sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals"

In this problem, we have a comet orbiting around the Sun:

- Its closest distance  from the Sun is 0.6 AU

- Its farthest distance from the Sun is 35 AU

In order for Kepler's 2nd law to be valid, the line connecting the center of the Sun to the comet must move slower when the comet is farther away (because the area swept out is proportional to the product of the distance and of the velocity: A\propto vr, therefore if r is larger, then v (velocity) must be lower).

On the other hand, when the the comet is closer to the Sun the line must move faster (A\propto vr, if r is smaller, v must be higher). Therefore, the comet's orbital velocity will be the largest at the closest distance to the Sun, 0.6 A.

To store stacks of clean plates, a cafeteria uses a closed cart with a spring-loaded shelf inside. Customers can take plates off
ruslelena [56]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

The option for the question is "A" approximately.

  • <u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

Spring constant (k) = 240 N/m

amount of the compression (x) = 0.40 m

To calculate:

Elastic potential energy (E)

We know;

<em>According to the formula;</em>

    E = \frac{1}{2} × k × x × x

   <u>E = </u>\frac{1}{2}<u> × k ×(x)²</u>

where;

E represents the elastic potential energy

K represents the spring constant

x represents amount of the compression in the string

So therefore,

Substituting the values in the above formula;

      E = \frac{1}{2} × 240 × (0.40)²

      E =  \frac{1}{2} × 240 × 0.16

      E =  \frac{1}{2} × 38.4

      E = 19.2 J or approximately 20 J

<u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>
