Complete Question:

A pilot drops a package from a plane flying horizontally at a constant speed. Neglecting air resistance, when the package hits the ground the horizontal location of the plane will

A. be behind the package.

B. be over the package.

C. be in front of the package.

D. depend on the speed of the plane when the package was released.

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

As no other horizontal forces are present, due to the horizontal movement and the vertical one are independent each other (as they are perpendicular), the plane and the package continue moving horizontally at the same speed, so when the package hits the ground (due to the action of gravity in the vertical direction only) the plane will be exactly over the package.

An electric motor is rated at 900 W. How much force does it apply when moving
brilliants [131]
<h3>Answer:  7.74 newtons</h3>

========================================

Steps Shown:

Work = Force*Displacement

Power = Work/Time

Power = (Force*Displacement)/Time

900 W = (F*1000 m)/(8.6 sec)

900 = (F*1000)/8.6

900*8.6 = 1000F

7740 = 1000F

1000F = 7740

F = 7740/1000

F = 7.74 newtons

How do spectroscopes help with studying of distance stars?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

You take the light from a star, planet or galaxy and pass it through a spectroscope, which is a bit like a prism letting you split the light into its component colours. "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source. From this you can work out all sorts of things," says Watson

As your skateboard coasts uphill, your speed changes from 3 m/s to 1 m/s in
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

a=-0.33\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

The acceleration of a moving body is defined as the relation of change of speed (or velocity in vector form) with the time taken. The formula is given by

\displaystyle a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Where vf and vo are the final and initial speeds respectively. The problem gives us these values: v0 = 3 m/s, vf = 1 m/s, t = 3 seconds. Computing a

\displaystyle a=\frac{1-3}{3}=-0.33\ m/s^2

The negative sing of a indicates there is deceleration or decreasing speed
