Thas been proposed that extending a long conducting wire from a spacecraft (a "tether") could be used for a variety of applications, from navigation to power generation. one of the first such experiments involving this technique was an august 1992 space shuttle flight, but the tether failed and only only 250 m of the conducting wire could be let out. a 40.0 v motional emf was generated in the earth’s 5.0 × 10-5 t field, while the shuttle and tether were moving at 7.80 × 103 m/s.

Oxygen undergoes an isentropic expansion from 120 degree c and 280 kpa absolute to 140 kpa absolute. determine the final temperature of the oxygen and the amount of work per kg of o_2 produced in the process if it is adiabatic.

Road users moving into your lane, brake lights, and abrupt changes in road surface are a. rare at night b. indicators of potential hazards c. not worth worrying about before you reach them d. no problem for experienced drivers

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.
