Is it possible to fly from Norway to USA across the North Pole?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Sure.  The Earth is a sphere (ball-shaped), so you can follow practically
any route you want from one place to another.  You could even fly from
New York to Chicago by way of the north pole.

If you want to draw a smooth curve from Oslo through the north pole to
a point in the USA, that's perfectly possible.  But it's not the shortest way
to travel between those two points.

In which direction should you look to see the setting moon.

Answers

Every sky object sets in the west.
It depends on the time of day. If it's just after moonrise, look in the east, low in the sky. Then near moonset, look in the west, also low in the sky.

IWhat is your mass in kilograms of you weigh 120 pounds?

Answers

One pound is (around, actually it's a little more, but you have to round it down to make the number practically usable) 0.45 kilograms, so 120 pounts is 120* 0.45, which is around 54kg.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.7 1010 m (inside the orbit of Mercury), at which point its speed is 9.5 104 m/s. Its farthest distance from the Sun is far beyond the orbit of Pluto. What is its speed when it is 6 1012 m from the Sun? (This is the approximate distance of Pluto from the Sun.)

Answers

Answer:

58515.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

d_1=4.7* 10^(10) m

v_i=9.5* 10^4 m/s

d_2=6* 10^(12) m

We have to find the speed (vf).

Work done by surrounding particles=W=0 Therefore, initial energy is equal to final energy.

K_i+U_i=K_f+U_f

(1)/(2)mv^2_i-(GmM)/(d_1)=(1)/(2)mv^2_f-(GmM)/(d_2)

(1)/(2)v^2_i-(GM)/(d_1)+(GM)/(d_2)=(1)/(2)v^2_f

v^2_f=2((1)/(2)v^2_i-(GM)/(d_1)+(GM)/(d_2))

v_f=\sqrt{2((1)/(2)v^2_i-(GM)/(d_1)+(GM)/(d_2))}

Using the formula

v_f=\sqrt{v^2_i+2GM((1)/(d_2)-(1)/(d_1))}

v_f=\sqrt{(9.5* 10^4)^2+2* 6.7* 10^(-11)* 1.98* 10^(30)((1)/(6* 10^(12))-(1)/(4.7* 10^(10)))

Where mass of sun=M=1.98* 10^(30) kg

G=6.7* 10^(-11)

v_f=58515.9 m/s

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?

Answers

This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.

Answer:

An infinite temperature

Explanation:

The efficiency of an engine is defined as:

\eta=1 -(T_C)/(T_H)

where

T_H is the temperature at which heat enters the engine

T_C is the temperature of the environment, to which the engine exhausts heat

From the formula, we see that for an engine to be 100% efficient, the fraction

(T_C)/(T_H)

must be equal to zero. Since the value of T_C is never zero (the temperature is expressed in Kelvin, and the temperature of the environment can never be exactly 0 K), the only possibility for that to occur is that the temperature at which heat enters the engine (T_H) is infinite, so that this fraction becomes zero and the efficiency becomes 1.

a constant force of 391 n acts on a spacecraft of mass 7870 kg that has an initial velocity of 38 m/s. how far has the spacecraft traveled when it reaches a velocity of 4820 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

The distance travelled is 2.34*10^8 m.

Explanation:

The acceleration of the spacecraft is,

a=F/m

=391/7870 = 0.04968 m/s^2

The distance travelled,

d=v^2-v0^2/2a

=(4820)^2-(38)^2 / 2(0.04968)

=2.34*10^8 m.
