Answer:

1.47 km

Explanation:

When the pilot hangs freely in the seat and does not push against the seat belt, his centripetal acceleration would counter balance gravitational acceleration g = 9.81m/s2 = a

We can calculate the radius of the loop using velocity v = 120m/s and a

$a = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$r = \frac{v^2}{a} = \frac{120^2}{9.81} = 1467.89 m$ or 1.46 km

Why can you see glass and your reflection

Schach [20]

<span>Glass is transparent meaning light passes through it and therefore you can see through it, but some light reflects back and if the surface is very smooth as glass often is then the light reflected back can be seen as a reflected image.</span>

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$F =326.7 \ N$

$M = 6$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rock is $m_r = 200 \ kg$

The length of the small object from the rock is $d = 2 \ m$

The length of the small object from the branch $l = 12 \ m$

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

$W = m_r * g$

substituting values

$W = 200 * 9.8$

$W = 1960 \ N$

So at equilibrium the sum of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

$\sum M_f = F * cos \theta * l - W cos\theta * d = 0$

Here $\theta$ is very small so $cos\theta * l = l$

and $cos\theta * d = d$

Hence

$F * l - W * d = 0$

=> $F = \frac{W * d}{l}$

substituting values

$F = \frac{1960 * 2}{12}$

$F =326.7 \ N$

The mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

$M = \frac{W}{F}$

substituting values

$M = \frac{1960}{326.7}$

$M = 6$

sineoko [7]

Answer:

fb = 240.35 Hz

Explanation:

In order to calculate the beat frequency generated by the first modes of each, organ and tube, you use the following formulas for the fundamental frequencies.
