Answer:

207 x 10⁻²³ J

Explanation:

Average kinetic energy per degree of freedom = 1 \ 2 k T

where k is Boltzmann constant and T is absolute temperature

The value of k is 1.38 x 10⁻²³

T given is 100 k

Average kinetic energy of a single degree of freedom  

=.5 x 1.38 x 10⁻²³ x 100

= 69 x 10⁻²³

For 3 degree of freedom

Average energy = 3 x 69 x 10⁻²³

207 x 10⁻²³ J

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.

If the cold temperature reservoir of a Carnot engine is held at a constant 306 K, what temperature should the hot reservoir be k
Paraphin [41]
Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be: 
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>

According to the saffir/simpson scale, what storm surge and type of damage was most likely experienced in homestead, florida whi
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale gives 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's wind speed, storm surge and potential property damage. It rates according to categories. When placed at Hurricanes of Category 3 and above, they are termed major catastrophic hurricanes because of their potential for loss of life and damages of property. Ratings at Category 1 and 2 storms are dangerous but can be prevented by following directed measures.

Florida situated directly in the hurricane at east coast , had experiened Category 1- Category 5 ratings from hurricane and noticed in Land fall in Florida since 1894 with Winds ranging from 74-95 mph with some dangerous damages which can lead damages to Well-built homes, dedtroying roofs , Uprooting shallow rooted trees, and causing power outages due to destruction of poles

to 157 mph or higher causing Catastrophic damages making the area inhabitable due to loss of life and properties.

For example, Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 attacked Florida’s east coast resulting to a Category 2 storm producing tropical storm force winds,heavy rain and storm surge leading to damages of roof of building and disruption of power poles.

Answer:

The astronaut who has a mass of 80 kg without the toolkit do survive with 40 seconds of remaining air

Explanation:

Due the astronaut throws the 10-kg tool kit away with a speed of 8 m/s, it gives a momentum equivalent but in the other direction, so I=mv=(10Kg)(8m/s)=80kg*m/s, then we can find the speed that the astronaut reaches due to its weight we get, v=\frac{I}{m} =\frac{80kg*m/s}{80Kg} =1m/s.

Finally, as the distance to the space shuttle is 200m, the time taken to the astronaut to reach it at the given speed will be t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{200m}{1m/s}=200s, as the remaining air time is 4 min or 240 seconds, The astronaut who has a mass of 80 kg without the toolkit do survive with 40 seconds of remaining air.
