Normally, jet engines push air out the back of the engine, resulting in forward thrust, but commercial aircraft often have thrus

t reversers that can change the direction of the ejected air, sending it forward. How does this affect the direction of thrust? When might these thrust reversers be useful in practice?

Response:

When the expelled air moves downward, the thrust force counteracts it in the upward direction, enabling jets to take off vertically without needing a runway due to reverse thrust.

Clarification:

According to Newton's third law of motion, every action induces an equal and opposite reaction.

Thrust reversal, known as reverse thrust, acts against the aircraft's direction, causing deceleration.

In general, when a commercial aircraft expels air forward, this thrust acts backward to reduce the aircraft's speed due to thrust reversal.

Applications of thrust reversal include the following:

As air is expelled forward, thrust acts in the opposite direction, resulting in the craft slowing down.

When the expelled air flows downward, the upward acting thrust allows jets to launch vertically without needing a runway in this context.

If a radio wave has a period of 1 μs what is the wave's period in seconds
Softa [3030]

Answer:

10^{-6} s


The period of a wave is the duration it takes to complete one full oscillation, such as from one peak to the next trough.

Since the period is expressed in microseconds, it needs to be converted into seconds.

The conversion is:

1\mu s=10^{-6} s


Accordingly, the wave's period in seconds is 10^{-6} s

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car’s distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by
serg [3582]

a) Average velocity: 2.8 m/s

b) Average velocity: 5.2 m/s

c) Average velocity: 7.6 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The car's position over time t can be described by

x(t)=\alpha t^2 - \beta t^3

where

\alpha = 1.50 m/s^2

\beta = 0.05 m/s^3

To find the average velocity, we divide the displacement by the elapsed time:

v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

At time t = 0, the position is:

x(0)=\alpha \cdot 0^2 - \beta \cdot 0^3 = 0

At time t = 2.00 s, the position is:

x(2)=\alpha \cdot 2^2 - \beta \cdot 2^3=5.6 m

This leads us to the displacement of

\Delta x = x(2)-x(0)=5.6-0=5.6 m

The duration for this interval is

\Delta t = 2.0 s - 0 s = 2.0 s

Therefore, the average velocity during this period is

v=\frac{5.6 m}{2.0 s}=2.8 m/s

b)

At time t = 0, the position is:

x(0)=\alpha \cdot 0^2 - \beta \cdot 0^3 = 0

At time t = 4.00 s, the position is:

x(4)=\alpha \cdot 4^2 - \beta \cdot 4^3=20.8 m

Thus, the displacement is

\Delta x = x(4)-x(0)=20.8-0=20.8 m

The time interval is

\Delta t = 4.0 - 0 = 4.0 s

This yields an average velocity of

v=\frac{20.8}{4.0}=5.2 m/s

c)

The position at t = 2 s is:

x(2)=\alpha \cdot 2^2 - \beta \cdot 2^3=5.6 m

And at t = 4 s it is:

x(4)=\alpha \cdot 4^2 - \beta \cdot 4^3=20.8 m

This gives us a displacement of

\Delta x = 20.8 - 5.6 = 15.2 m

While the time interval is

\Delta t = 4.0 - 2.0 = 2.0 s

So the resulting average velocity is

v=\frac{15.2}{2.0}=7.6 m/s

Three moles of an ideal gas with a molar heat capacity at constant volume of 4.9 cal/(mol∙K) and a molar heat capacity at consta
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

The amount of heat that enters the gas throughout this two-step process totals 120 cal.

Explanation:

Given that,

Moles present = 3

Heat capacity at volume held constant = 4.9 cal/mol.K

Heat capacity at pressure held constant = 6.9 cal/mol.K

Starting temperature = 300 K

Ending temperature = 320 K

We are tasked with determining the heat absorbed by the gas at constant pressure

Employing the heat formula

\Delta H_{1}=nC_{p}\times\Delta T

Substituting the values into the equation

\Delta H_{1}=3\times6.9\times(320-300)

\Delta H_{1}=414\ cal

Next, we calculate the heat absorbed by the gas at constant volume

Using the corresponding heat formula

\Delta H_{1}=nC_{v}\times\Delta T

Insert the values into the formula

\Delta H_{1}=3\times4.9\times(300-320)

\Delta H_{1}=-294\ cal

Now, it's necessary to evaluate the total heat flow into the gas during both steps

Using the total heat formula

\Delta H_{T}=\Delta H_{1}+\Delta H_{2}

\Delta H_{T}=414-294

\Delta H_{T}=120\ cal

Thus, the heat that transfers into the gas throughout this two-step process amounts to 120 cal.

ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

R=V/I=6/2=3 ohm

time = 5 minutes = 5*60=300 seconds

I=2 A

Energy = I²Rt=(2)²*3*300=4*900=3600 J

A square loop of wire with initial side length 10 cm is placed in a magnetic field of strength 1 T. The field is parallel to the
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

Induced EMF is 2 x 10⁻³ volts

Explanation:

B = strength of the magnetic field aligning with the loop's axis = 1 T

\frac{dA}{dt} = area change rate of the loop = 20 cm²/s = 20 x 10⁻⁴ m²

θ = the angle formed by the magnetic field and area vector = 0

E = the induced EMF across the loop

EMF can be calculated using the formula

E = B \frac{dA}{dt}

E = (1) (20 x 10⁻⁴ )

E = 2 x 10⁻³ volts

E = 2 mV
