How should Simon use the theory of relativity to
describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the
button?
Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose
spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. The
astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her
back as the space pirates break into the control room.
She has just locked the controls so that the ship is
accelerating in the direction of the control room's
ceiling. Simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to
hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights
and escape. The button is located a short distance
behind and below the astronaut's hands.
O The astronaut should toss the penny straight up as
it will appear to fall in an arc because objects in an
accelerating frame of reference behave in the same
way as they would in a gravity field.
O The astronaut should just let the penny go, as the
control panel will accelerate upward and curve
toward the astronaut because there is no gravity
field
O The astronaut should toss the penny horizontally
straight behind her as it will appear to fall in an arc
because objects in an accelerating frame of
reference behave in the same way as they would in
a gravity field.
The astronaut should toss the

Answer:

sodium chloride

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. The ions of the sodium chloride compound is sodium ion and chloride ion.  The sodium ion is cation while the chloride ion is an anion. Sodium chloride is a very stable compound because of the mutual attraction of oppositely charged ions.

A tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone with height 16m and base radius 3m. The tank is filled with water to a height of 9m. Find the work required to empty the tank by pumping all of the water over the top of the tank. Use the fact that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/sec2 and the density of water is 1000kg/m3. Round your answer to the nearest kilojoule.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]W=17085KJ[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height [tex]H=16m[/tex]

Radius [tex]R=3[/tex]

Height of water [tex]H_w=9m[/tex]

Gravity [tex]g=9.8m/s[/tex]

Density of water [tex]\rho=1000kg/m^3[/tex]

Generally the equation for Volume of water is mathematically given by

 [tex]dv=\pi*r^2dy[/tex]

 [tex]dv=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy[/tex]

Where

   y is a random height taken to define dv

Generally the equation for Work done to pump water is mathematically given by

 [tex]dw=(pdv)g (H-y)[/tex]

Substituting dv

 [tex]dw=(p(=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy))g (H-y)[/tex]

 [tex]dw=\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3dy[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]W=\int dw[/tex]

 [tex]W=\int(\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3)dy[/tex]

 [tex]W=\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}\int((H-y)^3)dy)[/tex]

 [tex]W=\frac{1000*9.8*3.142*3^2}{9^2}[((9-y)^3)}^9_0[/tex]

 [tex]W=3420.84*0.25[2401-65536][/tex]

 [tex]W=17084965.5J[/tex]

 [tex]W=17085KJ[/tex]
