Answer:

4.32\cdot 10^5 hp, 3.22\cdot 10^8 W

Explanation:

The jet is flying at constant velocity: this means that its acceleration is zero, so the net force acting on the jet is also zero.

Therefore, we can write:

4F_T - F_d = 0

where

F_T = 322,000 N is the thrust force generated by each engine of the jet

F_d is the drag force

Solving for Fd,

F_d = 4 F_T = 4(322,000)=1.288\cdot 10^6 N

The velocity of the jet is

v=250 m/s

So, the rate at which the drag force does work (which is the power) is

P=F_d v

and substituting

F_d = 1.288\cdot 10^6 N\\v = 250 m/s

we find

P=(1.288\cdot 10^6)(250)=3.22\cdot 10^8 W

Converting into horsepower,

P=\frac{3.22\cdot 10^8}{746}=4.32\cdot 10^5 hp

A 10-meter long ramp has a mechanical advantage of 5. What is the height of the ramp?
denpristay [2]
<span><span>1.       </span>If the ramp has a length of 10 and has a mechanical advantage (MA) of 5. Then we need to find the height of the ramp.
Formula:
MA = L / H
Since we already have the mechanical advantage and length, this time we need to find the height .
MA 5 = 10 / h
h = 10 / 5
h = 2 meters

Therefore, the ramp has a length of 10 meters, a height of 2 meters with a mechanical advantage of 5.</span>

Two satellites revolve around the Earth. Satellite A has mass m and has an orbit of radius r. Satellite B has mass 6m and an orb
melomori [17]

Answer:

aaaaa

Explanation:

M = Mass of the Earth

m = Mass of satellite

r = Radius of satellite

G = Gravitational constant

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

F=G\frac{M6m}{r_b^2}

G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=G\frac{M6m}{r_b^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{r^2}=\frac{6}{r_b^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{r_b^2}{r^2}=6\\\Rightarrow \frac{r_b}{r}=\sqrt{6}\\\Rightarrow r_b=2.44948r

r_b=2.44948r
