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.

Answer:

The range of powers is    - 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\  D

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The far point of the left eye is n_f = 20 cm

       The near point of the left eye is  n =  15cm

       The near point with the glasses on is n_g =25 \ cm

     

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for near point the

         Object distance would be u = -25 \ cm

          Image distance would be  v =  -15 \ cm

To obtain the focal length we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

              \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{v}  -  \frac{1}{u}

substituting values

              \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{-15}  -  \frac{1}{-25}

               f =  - \frac{75}{2} cm

           converting to  meters

               f =  - \frac{75}{2} * \frac{1}{100}

               f =  - \frac{75}{200} \ m

   Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

                P  = \frac{1}{f}

Substituting values

                 P = -  \frac{200}{75}  m

                 P = - 2.667 \ D

   

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for far  point the

         Object distance would be u_f = - \infty \ cm

          Image distance would be  v_f =  -20  \ cm

To obtain the focal length of the lens we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

                    \frac{1}{f_f} =  \frac{1}{v_f}  -  \frac{1}{u_f}

substituting values

                  \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{-20}  -  \frac{1}{- \infty}

                 \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{-20}  -  0      

                  f_f =  \frac{20}{1}  \ cm

converting to  meters

                f_f =  - \frac{20}{1}  * \frac{1}{100}

               

Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

                P  = \frac{1}{f_f}

Substituting values

                 P = -  \frac{100}{20}  m

                 P = - 5 \ D

This implies that the range of powers of the lens in his glass is

                  - 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\  D

To determine the types of equipment your boat must carry, you need to make a measurement of the boat. What is this measurement?
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

In total, the length is measured from the tip of the bow in a linear fashion to the stern of the formation of delight including any back-deck extensions. The measurement involves bow sprits; rudders; detachable engines and engine sections; handles; and various fittings and connections.

Importance in calculating a boat's length:

it affects the transportation costs (the longer the length, the higher the cost).   The pontoon's length counts as you find out how much rope you need to wrestle.  

The cost of vessel settlement on marinas depends in part on the pontoon length. As more area is consumed by a more drawn pontoon, the docking charges are higher.  

Transportation guidelines will probably not allow pontoons past a specific length on specific occasions of the day.

How do the forces on a skydiver affect the velocity of the skydiver as they fall?<br><br><br> Hellp
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Explanation:

As a skydiver falls, he accelerates downwards, gaining speed with each second. The increase in speed is accompanied by an increase in air resistance. This force of air resistance counters the force of gravity.

Which property of a measurement is best estimated from the percent error? accuracy median precision range
Katena32 [7]

"Accuracy" would be the best option from the list regarding the property of a measurement that is best estimated from the percent error, since the higher the error is the lower the accuracy.


Explanation:

When taking scientific measurements, it's vital to be each correct and precise. Accuracy represents however shut a mensuration involves its true price. This can be vital as a result of unhealthy instrumentality, poor processing or human error will result in inaccurate results that aren't terribly getting ready to the reality.
