Col. Joe Kittinger of the United States Air Force crossed the Atlantic Ocean in nearly 86 hours. The distance he traveled was 57

000 m. Suppose Col. Kittinger is moving with a constant acceleration during most of his flight and that his final speed is 10.0 percent greater than his initial speed. Find the initial speed based on this data.

Answer:

Initial speed Vo=631.229 mi/h

Explanation:

For this problem, I used miles instead of meters, because that seems more accurate. Since the final speed is 10% (0.1) higher than initial, then mathematically it means

V_{f}=V_{o}+0.1*V_{o}=1.1*V_{o}

First, find the acceleration,  with this formula

<em>V^{2} _{f}-V^{2}_{o}=2*a*dist</em>

<em>Which results in</em>

a=\frac{(1.1*V _{o})^{2}-V^{2}_{o}}{2*57000} =0.000002*V_{o}^{2}

Now substitute in this equation:

V _{f}-V_{o}=a*t\\ (1.1-1)*V_{o}=0.000002*V_{o}^{2}*86

This became in a quadratic equation. Dividing both sides by initial speed and solving and, since we used time in Hours and for distance miles, then the speed should have units of miles per hour:

0.1*V_{o}=0.000158*V_{o}x^{2} \\ V_{o}=631.229mi/h

charge, q1 =5.00μC, is at the origin, a second charge, q2= -3μC, is on the x-axis 0.800m from the origin. find the electric fiel
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field due to charge at origin

= k Q / r²

k is a constant , Q is charge and r is distance

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁶ / .5²

= 180 x 10³ N /C

In vector form

E₁ = 180 x 10³ j

Electric field due to q₂ charge

= 9 x 10⁹ x 3 x 10⁻⁶ /.5² + .8²

= 30.33 x 10³ N / C

It will have negative slope θ with x axis

Tan θ = .5 / √.5² + .8²

= .5 / .94

θ = 28°

E₂ = 30.33 x 10³ cos 28 i - 30.33 x 10³ sin28j

= 26.78 x 10³ i - 14.24 x 10³ j

Total electric field

E = E₁  + E₂

= 180 x 10³ j +26.78 x 10³ i - 14.24 x 10³ j

= 26.78 x 10³ i + 165.76 X 10³ j

magnitude

= √(26.78² + 165.76² ) x 10³ N /C

= 167.8 x 10³  N / C .

A paleontologist estimates that when a particular rock formed, it contained 12 mg of the radioactive isotope potassium-40, which
leva [86]

Answer:

t = 2.52 billion \:years

Explanation:

As we know by radioactivity law

N = N_o e^{-\lambda t}

so here we will have

N = 3 mg

N_o = 12 mg

now we will have

3 = 12 e^{-\lambda t}

\lambda t = ln 4

now we also know that

\lambda = \frac{ln2}{1.26 \times 10^6 yrs}

t = 1.26\times 10^6\times \frac{ln4}{ln2}

t = 2.52 billion \:years

The increase in height as a tsunami approaches shore is due to
ryzh [129]

Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.
