It is 2058 and you are taking your grandchildren to Mars. At an elevation of 34.7 km above the surface of Mars, your spacecraft

is dropping vertically at a speed of 293 m/s. The spacecraft is to make a soft landing -- that is, at the instant it reaches the surface of Mars, its velocity is zero. Assume the spacecraft undergoes constant acceleration from the elevation of 34.7 km until it reaches the surface of Mars. What is the magnitude of the acceleration

Answer: 1.23\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

At an elevation of y=34.7\ km, spacecraft is dropping vertically at a speed of u=293\ m/s

Final velocity of the spacecraft is v=0

using equation of motion i.e. v^2-u^2=2as

Insert the values

\Rightarrow 0-(293)^2=2\times a\times (34.7\times 10^3)\\\\\Rightarrow a=-\dfrac{293^2}{2\times 34.7\times 10^3}\\\\\Rightarrow a=-1.23\ m/s^2

Therefore, magnitude of acceleration is 1.23\ m/s^2.

Why can’t a real machine ever have 100% efficiency
Harman [31]

Answer:

Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

54 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

v=u+at

where u=initial velocity

v=0+(10\frac{m}{s^{2} } )×(5.4s)

v=54\frac{m}{s}

Where is the sun's energy most concentrated
Maru [420]

B. At the equator

Explanation:

The energy coming from the Sun hits the Earth's surface at different angles, depending on the latitude of the place. The more perpendicular the ray of lights hit the surface, the more the energy transmitted to the Earth's surface, the warmer the location.

The angle at which the ray of lights hit the Earth is related to the latitude: in particular, the ray of lights arrive perpendicular at the equator (0^{\circ}), they arrive at larger angle in the United States (which is located at intermediate latitudes) and they arrive at the largest angles at the poles. For this reason, the sun's most energy is concentrated at the equator.

Choose the items that help to fully describe voltage.
Zina [86]

Answer:

the easy way to describe this is to use a light as an example.

Explanation:

Voltage is pretty much the loop used to help use a lightbulb to emit light. Without voltage, we would be unable to use lightbulbs. This applies to much more than a lightbulb, but it's the easiest way to describe how voltage works.
