(a) No, because the mechanical energy is not conserved
Explanation:
The work-energy theorem states that the work done by the engine on the airplane is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the plane:
(1)
However, this theorem is only valid if there are no non-conservative forces acting on the plane. However, in this case there is air resistance acting on the plane: this means that the work-energy theorem is no longer valid, because the mechanical energy is not conserved.
Therefore, eq. (1) can be rewritten as
which means that the work done by the engine (W) is used partially to increase the kinetic energy of the airplane (
) and part is lost because of the air resistance (
).
(b) 77.8 m/s
First of all, we need to calculate the net force acting on the plane, which is equal to the difference between the thrust force and the air resistance:
Now we can calculate the acceleration of the plane, by using Newton's second law:
where m is the mass of the plane.
Finally, we can calculate the final speed of the plane by using the equation:
where
is the final velocity
is the initial velocity
is the acceleration
is the distance travelled
Solving for v, we find
Answer: c) increases
Explanation:
Pressure increases with decreasing height
Answer:
The speed of the cart and clay after the collision is 50 cm/s .
Explanation:
Given :
Mass of lump , m = 500 g = 0.5 kg .
Velocity of lump , v = 30 cm/s .
Mass of cart , M = 1 kg .
Velocity of cart , V = 60 cm/s .
We know by conservation of momentum :
Here , 
is the speed of the cart and clay after the collision .
Putting all value in above equation .
We get :
Hence , this is the required solution .
Answer:
The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.
The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)
Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.
Explanation:
Answer:
Average speed is total distance divided by total time.
v = d / t
