Concept explainers
A spacecraft utilized Earth’s gravity and increasing large orbital paths around Earth to minimize the use of propellant to escape Earth’s orbit. This method involves the use of several short firings of the engines to push the rocket a smaller distance rather than one long firing with a large consumption of fuel to push the rocket the entire distance. One of the maneuvers used 440 newtons [N] of thrust for 570.6 seconds [s], resulting in a rise in orbit of 7055 miles [mi]. How much power, in units of watts [W], did this maneuver require? Express the answers using an appropriate SI prefix such that there are only one, two, or three digits shown to the left of the decimal. Assume the process is 100% efficient.

- Completely solve and box the final answer. Please show the units to show the unit cancellations. Write legibly 2. During a steady flow process, the pressure of the working substance drops from 1,380 kpa to 138 kpa, the speed increases from 61 m/s to 305 m/s, the internal energy of the open system decreases 58.1 KJ/kg, and the specific volume increases from 0.0625 m3/kg to 0.5 m3/kg. No heat is transferred, determine the work in KW if the mass flow at the rate of 272.15 kg/hr.arrow_forwardA mercury thermometer, which has been on a table for some time, is registering the room temperature, 50°F.

What are the acceleration, speed, and displacement of the mass at t = 4 second ? a =(50 e^t)/(550 ) [N/kg] v = ∫_0^t▒(50 e^t )dt/(550 )= v_0 +(50 e^t-50)/550=((e^t- 1))/11 x = ∫_0^t▒(e^t- 1)dt/(11 )= x_0 +(e^t- t - 1)/(11 ) a(4s)=(50*54.6)/550= 4.96[m/s^2 ] v(4s)=((e^4-1))/11= 4.87[m/s] x(4s)=((e^4- 4 - 1))/11= 4.51 [m]arrow_forwardThe title of our study is "Design and Fabrication of an Agricultural Spraying Attachment for an Autonomous Rover" we need help in the machine design part of our study, specifically Pump selection, battery selection, and center of gravity computation I already sent you the image of the rover Rover weight capacity 35 kilo grams (payload) Rover measurements: Wheel distance - 14.5 inches and 8.5 inches Rover platform size (width & length) 14.4 inches x 10.4 inches Height- 15.8 inches. Water tank selection More or less 25 liters *For tank selection we need to justify the size with the center of gravity, proving that is the maximum dimension or liters of the tank because the center of gravity will be higher making the rover prone to toppling Pump selection *Our sprayer design has two nozzles which splits using a tee splitter, we need to find the size of the pump to obtain the same discharge rate of a normal sprayer. A normal sprayer has a 12V pump and a pressure from 0.2 to 0.45 mpa…arrow_forwardSuppose you're converting a bill of materials for machining feedstock from the British gravitational (U.S. system) of units to International System (SI) units. Your goal is to have all of the material quantities in kilograms. Your bill of materials lists values for required weights of brass rod in pounds. To convert to these values to kilograms you first you divide by gravitational acceleration in feet per second squared to get a mass in slugs, then convert slugs to kilograms using standard conversion factors.

- Chapter 7, Problem 63, there is an 'h' value that is solved when expressing half the width of the Rankine Oval that I am not quite understanding the process by which the value is solved for. Could you break down the process by which h=0.02423 m? It's been a while since I was last in school, so the mathematical method by which 'h' was solved is a little unclear to me.arrow_forwardPlease include a kinamatic diagram (one for velocity and one for acceleration) Please DO NOT solve this using velocity analysis (cartesian vector analysis j k i). I would like it to be solved using scalar method. We dont use 3D in this course. We only use scalar analysis for the relative velocity equation as requested in the question (writing the x and y components of the equation and solving the equations for the unknowns). Below I have attached a sample question with solution in order to get an idea on how to use the scalar method to solve my question. I would like question this to be solved in a similar way. Thank you for your understanding. If you can solve it as soon as possible that would be great and I will give you a thumps up and positive feedback :)arrow_forwardTires are one of the most frequently encountered applications of the gas laws that we never think about. We fill our tires with air, or with nitrogen, but it always works out the same way. Enough gas goes in, the tire inflates, and then the pressure starts going up. In this assignment, we’ll be investigating the ways that the gas laws impact how we treat our tires. Q1. I have good information that in Fast 29, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) will need to refill a tire quickly during a dramatic moment. For this reason, he has a 3.00 L tank of compressed air that is under 2.7892*103 mmHg and is kept cool in dry ice at -35.0 °C. When Dom hooks his compressed air up to his completely empty 10.50 L tire at 39.2 °C and lets it run, what will his final tire pressure be, in atm? Assume all the air is transferred into the tire. Is his tire pressure above the 2.31 atm that he needs to save the planet/his family/his crew? Q2. Your car tire pressure sensor looks to see when your tire pressure…arrow_forward
