The most common unit is meters (m for short). It is the base unit for distance or displacement in the metric system. If you are dealing with larger distances, you might use kilometers (I'm for short) which is just 1000 meters. On the other hand, centimeter (cm) are used for small distances and are 1/100 of a meter. Another common unit is millimeters (mm) which is 1/1000 of a meter.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

(a) The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane

(b) The horizontal component = 39.0 m/s

The vertical component = 171.55 m/s

(c) The angle of impact is 77.19°

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Velocity of the plane, vₓ = 39.0 m/s

Height of the plane above the ground, h = 1.50 × 10² m = 1,500 m

(a) The time, t, before the package hits the ground when dropped from the plane is given by the relation;

h = u·t + 1/2×g×t²

Where:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial vertical velocity = 0 m/s

Hence;

1500 = 0×t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t² = 4.905·t²

∴ t = √(1500/4.905) = 17.49 s

The horizontal distance the package travels before landing = 17.49 × 39 ≈ 682 m

The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane

(b) The vertical velocity, v_y, of the package just before landing is given by the relation;

v_y² = u² + 2·g·h

u = 0 m/s

∴ v_y² = 0 + 2×9.81×1500 = 29430 m²/s²

v_y = √29430  = 171.55 m/s

Hence the horizontal component = 39.0 m/s

The vertical component = 171.55 m/s

(c) The angle of impact, θ, is given as follows;

tan \theta = \dfrac{v_y}{v_x}  = \dfrac{171.55}{39.0 } = 4.4

∴ θ = tan⁻¹(4.4) = 77.19°.

10 basic rules of badminton?​
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The 10 rules of badminton are as follows:

1. A game starts with a coin toss. Whoever wins the toss gets to decide whether they would serve or receive first OR what side of the court they want to be on. The side losing the toss shall then exercise the remaining choice.

2. At no time during the game should the player touch the net, with his racquet or his body.

3. The shuttlecock should not be carried on or come to rest on the racquet.

4. A player should not reach over the net to hit the shuttlecock.

5. A serve must carry cross court (diagonally) to be valid.

6. During the serve, a player should not touch any of the lines of the court, until the server strikes the shuttlecock. During the serve the shuttlecock should always be hit from below the waist.

7. A point is added to a player's score as and when he wins a rally.

8. A player wins a rally when he strikes the shuttlecock and it touches the floor of the opponent's side of the court or when the opponent commits a fault. The most common type of fault is when a player fails to hit the shuttlecock over the net or it lands outside the boundary of the court.

9. Each side can strike the shuttlecock only once before it passes over the net. Once hit, a player can't strike the shuttlecock in a new movement or shot.

10. The shuttlecock hitting the ceiling, is counted as a fault.

Given: G = 6.672 × 10−11 N · m2 /kg2 Io, a satellite of Jupiter, has an orbital period of 1.24 days and an orbital radius of 4.1
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Mass of Jupiter = 4.173×10^15kg

Explanation:

Using Kepler's 3rd law, it states that the orbital period T is related to the distance,r as:

T^2 = GM/4 pi × r^3

Where G = universal gravitational constant

r = radius

M = masd of jupiter

Rearranging the formular to make M the subject of formular

T^2 × 4 pi = G M × r^3

(T^2 × 4 pi) / (G× r^3) = M

(1.24^2 × 4 × 3.142) /(6.672×10^-11)(4.11×10^8)^3

M = 19.32 /6.672×10^-11)(4.11×10^8)^3

M = 19.32 / 4.63 ×10^15

M = 4.173×10^15kg
