An astronaut 100m from the spaceship observes a 200kg meteoroid that drifts toward the shop at 10m/sec. If the astronaut can gai

n a hold on the meteoroid and the astronaut’s rocket gun is capable of delivering a force of 100N, can the meteoroid be stopped before it hits the spaceships?

You are operating a pwc in an area where swimmers are in the water. When must you slow your pwc to "slow, no wake speed"?.

Lostsunrise [7]

You should slow your pwc to "slow, no wake speed" when within 100 feet of anchored vessels or non-motorized craft.

<h3>What is Slow-no-wake?</h3>

This is the process of operating a personal watercraft at the slowest possible speed.

This helps to maintain steerage which prevents different forms of accident or risks when in motion in the water.

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in

Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can= $1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3$

$1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3$

Mass of can=80g= $\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg$

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead= $11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3$

By using $1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3$

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force = $F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead$

$\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg$

Where $\rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=$ Density of water

$m_c=$ Mass of can

$m_l=$ Mass of lead

$V_c=$ Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

$1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l$

$1.1-0.08=m_l$

$m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g$

$1 kg=1000g$

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

Una placa de cobre a 20°C tiene unas dimensiones de 65cm x 78 cm. Encuentra el área de la placa a 400°C; Coeficiente de dilataci

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

El área de la placa es aproximadamente 5102.752 centímetros cuadrados.

Explanation:

Asumamos que el cambio dimensional como consecuencia de la temperatura es pequeña, entonces podemos estimar el área de la placa de cobre en función de la temperatura mediante la siguiente aproximación:

$A_{f} = w\cdot l \cdot [1 + 2\cdot \alpha\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o})]$ (1)

Donde:

$w$ - Ancho de la placa, en centímetros.

$l$ - Longitud de la placa, en centímetros.

$\alpha$ - Coeficiente de dilatación, en $\frac{1}{^{\circ}C}$ .

$T_{o}$ - Temperatura inicial, en grados Celsius.

$T_{f}$ - Temperatura final, en grados Celsius.

Si sabemos que $w = 65\,cm$ , $l = 78\,cm$ , $\alpha = 17\times 10^{-6}\,\frac{1}{^{\circ}C}$ , $T_{o} = 20\,^{\circ}C$ and $T_{f} = 400\,^{\circ}C$ , entonces el área de la placa a la temperatura final:

$A_{f} = (65\,cm)\cdot (78\,cm)\cdot \left[1+\left(17\times 10^{-6}\,\frac{1}{^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (400\,^{\circ}C-20\,^{\circ}C)\right]$

$A_{f} = 5102.752\,cm^{2}$

El área de la placa es aproximadamente 5102.752 centímetros cuadrados.

A 0.20 kg mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back a certain distance and released. The maximum speed of the mass is measured

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

b. 0.20 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial mass, m = 0.2 kg

maximum speed, v = 0.3 m/s

The total energy of the spring at the given maximum speed is calculated as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.3²

K.E = 0.009 J

If the mass is changed to 0.4 kg

¹/₂mv² = K.E

mv² = 2K.E

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.009}{0.4} } \\\\v = 0.21 \ m/s\\\\v \approx 0.20 \ m/s$

Therefore, the maximum speed is 0.20 m/s
