a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

y(t) = 0

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s

So the horizontal distance travelled is

d=v_x t

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km

The components of a 10.8-meters-per-second velocity at an angle of 34.° above the horizontal are
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

6.0 m/s vertical and 9.0 m/s horizontal

Explanation:

For the vertical component, we use the formula:

  • Sin(34°) = <em>y</em> / 10.8

Then we <u>solve for </u><u><em>y</em></u>:

  • 0.559 = <em>y</em> / 10.8
  • <em>y </em>= 6.0

And for the horizontal component, we use the formula:

  • Cos(34°) = <em>x</em> / 10.8

Then we <u>solve for </u><u><em>x</em></u><u>:</u>

  • 0.829 = <em>x</em> / 10.8
  • <em>y </em>= 9.0

So the answer is " 6.0 m/s vertical and 9.0 m/s horizontal".

A pendulum oscillates 12 times in 4 seconds. what is the length of the pendulum?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

L = 2.8 cm

Explanation:

Period T = 4 / 12 = 1/3 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = (T/2π)²g

L = ((1/3)/2π)²9.8 = 0.02758... ≈ 2.8 cm

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

182.28 W

Explanation:

Here ,

m = 7.30 Kg

distance , d= 28.0 m

time , t = 11.0 s

average power supplied = change in potential energy/time

average power supplied = m×g×d/time

average power supplied = 7.30×9.81×28/11

average power supplied = 182.28 W

the average power supplied is  182.28 W
