A typical loaded commercial jet airplane has an inertia of 2.1 × 105 kg (a) Which do you expect to require more energy: getting

the plane up to cruising speed or getting it up to cruising altitude? Will one be a lot more than the other or will they be comparable? (b) How much energy does it take to get the plane to a cruising speed of 270 m/s? (c) How much energy does it take to get the plane to a cruising altitude of 10.4 km? [Ignore dissipation.]

Answer:

(a) It depends on what cruising speed and cruising altitude

(b) 7654.5 * 10^6 (J)

(c) 21425.04 * 10^6 (J)

Explanation:

Formula for Kinetic energy: E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2}

Formula for Potential energy E_p = mgh

(a) It actually depends on cruising speed and cruising altitude to tell which one requires more energy. However, cruising speed would have more impact than cruising altitude because it has a power of 2 in the energy formula.

(b) If we plug in v = 270 and m = 210000 to the Kinetic energy formula we should have

E_k = \frac{210000 * 270^2}{2} = 7654.5 * 10^6 (J)

(c) If we plug in h = 10.4 km = 10400 m, m = 210000 and g = 9.81 we should have

E_p = 210000 * 9.81 * 10400 = 21425.04 * 10^6 (J)

A 2.35-kg rock is released from rest at a height of 21.4 m. Ignore air resistance and determine (a) the kinetic energy at 21.4 m
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg

It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.

(a) The kinetic energy is given by : E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.

(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by : E_p=mgh

It can be calculated as :

E_p=2.35\times 9.8\times 21.4\\\\E_p=492.84\ J

(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,

M = 0 J + 492.84 J

M = 492.84 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:PHARMING

Explanation:

Social engineering can be defined as an attempt to manage,change and regulate the future development and the behaviour of a society.

Common types of social engineering attack include; Watering hole, Pretexting, Phishing,Whaling attack, Baiting, PHARMING, and so on.

PHARMING is an attempt to redirect internet traffic from a legitimate site to a different identical-looking site. PHARMING is a spamming practice, a cyberattack and also, a type of phishing in which hackers use in stealing personal information from people on the internet.

PHARMING is done through the injection of malicious data or code into the victims' computer system. This injection is known as the DNS cache poisoning.
