the height of seven falls in colorado is 5/2 the height of twin falls in idahi. the sum of the two heights is 420 ft. find the h
Masja [62]
Let height of twin falls = x
height of seven falls = 2.5x

x + 2.5x = 420
3.5x = 420
x = 420/3.5 = 120

so twin falls = x = 120 ft
seven falls = 2.5x = 300 ft

An airplane is flying at a speed of 200 m/s in level flight at an altitude of 800 m. A package is to be dropped from the airplan
MArishka [77]

Answer:

2560m or 2.56km (rounded to 3 significant figures)

Explanation:

First, list all known and desired values/variables (initial vertical velocity is 0 as the plane is kept level and vertical acceleration is just gravity):

Vertical \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) =  u_{v} = 0 \\\\ Horizontal \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) =  u_{h} = 200\\\\ Vertical \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) =  a_{v} =  9.8 \\\\ Horizontal \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) =  a_{h} =  0 \\\\ Vertical \ displacement \ (m) = s_{v} = 800 \\\\ Horizontal \ displacement \ (m) = s_{h}

The horizontal displacement is going to be the distance travelled, horizontally of course, once the package is released;

First thing to understand is that the vertical and horizontal components are to be dealt with separately because they don't affect each other;

Since there is no horizontal acceleration (ignoring air resistance), we simply require a velocity and time to find the horizontal displacement, using the formula v = d/t (or speed = distance/time);

What we have is the horizontal velocity but we don't have the time taken;

One thing we know is that the time elapsed for the vertical fall of 800m and for the horizontal displacement must be the same;

What we do, therefore, is find the time taken for the vertical displacement using the formula, s = ut + ¹/₂·at², since we know the vertical velocity, height and acceleration:

800 = (0)t + ¹/₂·(9.8)t²

800 = 4.9t²

t² = 163.26...

t = 12.77...

We now have the time taken for the vertical fall and the horizontal displacement, we can use this with the horizontal velocity we know already and get the horizontal displacement:

u_{h} = \frac{s_{h} }{t} \\\\ 200 = \frac{s_{h} }{12.77...} \\\\ s_{h} = 200(12.77...) \\\\ s_{h} = 2555.5...

a spring with a constant of 80N/m is stretched by a force of 240N. how much the displacement of the spring from equilibrium?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

1200N/m

Explanation:

given parameters:

force on the motorcycle spring is 240N

Extension 2cm or 0.02m

unknown _

spring constant:

:?

solution:

to a spring a force applied is given as :

f=ke

f is applied as force

k is spring constant

e is the Extension

240= kx0.02

k=1200N/m
