Imagine a landing craft approaching the surface of Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons. If the engine provides an upward force (thr

ust) of 3432 N, the craft descends at constant speed; if the engine provides only 2317 N, the craft accelerates downward at 0.39 m/s2. What is the weight of the landing craft in the vicinity of Callisto's surface?

Answer:

W = mg = 3432 N

Explanation:

The force applied by the engine, F = 3432 N (upward) the craft descends at constant speed.

If the engine provides only 2317 N, the craft accelerates downward at 0.39 m/s².

On applying the force of 3432 N, the ship descends at a constant velocity such that the net force acting on it equal to 0. So, the upward normal force is equal to the weight of the landing craft.

So, the weight of the landing craft in the vicinity of Callisto's surface is 3432 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

How could you tell whether or not you are in a magnetic feild
Aleks04 [339]
Magnetic fields are areas where an object exhibits a magnetic influence. The fields affect neighboring objects along things called magnetic field lines. A magnetic object can attract or push away another magnetic object. You also need to remember that magnetic forces are NOT related to gravity. The amount of gravity is based on an object's mass, while magnetic strength is based on the material that the object is made of.

Margaret [11]

Answer: 1.176×10^-3 s

Explanation: The time constant formulae for an RC circuit is given below as

t =RC

Where t = time constant , R = magnitude of resistance = 21 ohms , C = capacitance of capacitor = 56 uf = 56×10^-6 F

t = 56×10^-6 × 21

t = 1176×10^-6

t = 1.176×10^-3 s

Ksenya-84 [330]

The concept of power is given by the relationship between intensity and area, that is to say that power is defined as

P = A*I

Our values are given under the condition of,

r_1 = 18m

r_2 = m

The power is proportional to the Area, and in turn, we know that the Area of a circle is the product between \pi  times the radius squared, therefore the power is proportional to the radius squared.

\text{Power} \propto r^2

For both panels we would have to

\frac{\text{Power by panel 1}}{\text{Power by panel 2}} = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = (\frac{18}{6})^2

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 9

Therefore the correct option is option C.9

Wave power can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

<h3>What can be the challenges of wave power?</h3>

Wave power is a device that can be used to convert the mechanical energy of the ocean waves into electrical energy based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The major challenges that face the use of wave power in electricity generation is the unreliability of the waves which leads to uncertainty in the quantity of power generated Also, the wave direction and direction of ocean currents all limit the amount of power generated by this method. However, in spite of challenges, it can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.
