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

You are trying to determine the specific gravity of a solid object that floats in water. If m is the mass of your object, mS is
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Specific Gravity = m/[m(s)-m(os)]

Explanation:

Specific gravity, also called relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. By this definition we need to find out the ratio of density of the object of mass m to the density of the surrounding liquid.

m = mass of the object

<u>Weight in air</u>

W (air) = mg, where g is the gravitational acceleration

<u>Weight with submerged with only one mass</u>

m(s)g + Fb = mg + m(b)g, <em>consider this to be equation 1</em>

where Fb is the buoyancy force

Weight with submerged with both masses

m(os)g + Fb’ = mg + m(b)g, <em>consider this to be equation 2</em>

<u>equation 1 – equation 2 would give us</u>

m(s)g – m(os)g = Fb’ – Fb

where Fb = D x V x g, where D is the density of the liquid the object is submerged in, g is the force of gravity and V is the submerged volume of the object

m(s)g – m(os)g = D(l) x V x g

m(s) – m(os) = D(l) x V

we know that Mass = Density x V, which in our case would be, D(b) x V, which also means

V = Mass/D(b), where D(b) is the density of the mass

<u>Substituting V into the above equation we get</u>

m(s) – m(os) = [D(l) x m)/ D(b)]

Rearranging to get the ratio of density of object to the density of liquid

D(b)/D(l) = m/[m(s)-m(os)], where D(b)/D(l) denotes the specific gravity

How are the climates of coastal regions affected by the specific heat capacity of water?
Katen [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows  from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.
