A 1500 kg aircraft going 35 m/s collides with a 2000 kg aircraft that is parked and they stick together after the collision and

are going 15 m/s after the collision. If they skid for 112.1 m before stopping, how long (in seconds) did they skid? Hint: Are the aircraft moving at a constant velocity after the collision or do they experience an acceleration?

The two aircrafts are skidded for 14.9 s.

To find the answer, we need to know about the Newton's equation of motion.

<h3>What is the Newton's equation that relates velocity, distance, acceleration and time?</h3>

As per Newton's equation of motion

  • V²-U²= 2aS
  • V= U+at
  • V= final velocity, U = initial velocity, S = distance, a= acceleration, t= time

<h3>What's the acceleration of the aircrafts that skidded from 35 m/s after the collision for 112.1 m before achieving 15 m/s?</h3>
  • Here, U = 35 m/s, V = 15m/s, S= 112.1 m
  • So, 15²- 35²= 2a×112.1= 224.2a

=> a= -1000/224.2= -4.5 m/s²

<h3>What's the time taken to stop if these aircrafts are de-accelerated by 4.5 m/s² from 35m/s?</h3>
  • Here, U = 35 m/s, V=15 m/s a= -4.5 m/s²
  • 35= 15+(-4.5)t

=> t= 20/4.5 = 4.4 s

Thus, we can conclude that the two aircrafts are skidded for 4.4 s.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

R = x_{max} = \frac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\sin(2\theta_1}{\sin(2\theta_2}

Explanation:

Using kinematics equations:

\Delta x = v_{0x}t\\\Delta y = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_{0y}t

Use \Delta y = 0 due to condition of distance traveled.

Solving second equation for time, there are two solutions. t=0 and

t=\frac{2v_{0y}}{g}

Use the expression in the first equation to have

R = \frac{2v^2 \cos\theta\sin\theta}{g}

Using trigonometric identities, you have the answer of the distance.

By doing the ratio for two different angles, you have the second answer. Due to sine function properties, the distances can be the same to complementary angles. Example, for 20° and 70°, the distance is the same.

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of
erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.
