Answer: The horizontal location of the plane will BE OVER THE BOMB

Explanation:

As soon as the bomb was dropped, the bomb will fall under gravity (free fall) and the location of the plane continues to increase horizontally till the bomb reaches the ground which is a falling distance to be travelled by the bomb at 9.8m/s²

During a rockslide, a 670 kg rock slides from rest down a hillside that is 740 m along the slope and 240 m high. The coefficient
ElenaW [278]

a) 1.58\cdot 10^6 J

b) 1.15\cdot 10^6 J

c) 0.43\cdot 10^6 J

d) 35.8 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its location with respect to the ground.

It is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object, relative to a reference level

Here, the reference level is taken at the bottom of the hill (where the potential energy is zero).

So, we have:

m = 670 kg is the mass of the rock

g=9.8 m/s^2

h = 240 m is the initial height of the rock

So, the potential energy of the rock just before the slide is

U=(670)(9.8)(240)=1.58\cdot 10^6 J

b)

The energy transferred to thermal energy during the slide is equal to the work done by friction, which is:

W=F_f d

where

F_f is the force of friction

d = 740 m is the displacement of the rock along the ramp

The force of friction is given by:

F_f=-\mu mg cos \theta

where

\mu=0.25 is the coefficient of friction

m = 670 kg is the mass of the rock

\theta is the angle of the ramp

Since we know the lenght of the ramp (d = 740 m) and the height (h = 240 m), we can find the angle:

\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{h}{d})=sin^{-1}(\frac{240}{740})=18.9^{\circ}

Therefore, the work done by friction is:

W=-\mu m g cos \theta d =-(0.25)(670)(9.8)(cos 18.9^{\circ})(740)=-1.15\cdot 10^6 J

So, the energy transferred to thermal energy is 1.15\cdot 10^6 J.

c)

According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the rock as it reaches the bottom of the hill will be equal to the initial potential energy (at the top) minus the energy transformed into thermal energy.

Therefore, we have:

K_f = U_i -E_t

where here we have:

U_i=1.58\cdot 10^6 J is the potential energy of the rock at the top of the hill

E_t=1.15\cdot 10^6 J is the energy converted into thermal energy

Substituting, we find

K_f=1.58\cdot 10^6-1.15\cdot 10^6=0.43\cdot 10^6 J

So, this is the kinetic energy of the rock at the bottom of the hill.

d)

The kinetic energy of the rock at the bottom of the hill can be rewritten as

K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the rock

v is its final speed

In this problem, we have:

K_f=0.43\cdot 10^6 J is the final kinetic energy of the hill

m = 670 kg is the mass of the rock

Therefore, the final speed of the rock is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.43\cdot 10^6)}{670}}=35.8 m/s

describe the relationship between the direction of the velocity vector and the direction of the acceleration for a body moving i
Xelga [282]

Answer:

a = v²/r

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body moving in a circular path is known as the centripetal acceleration. This is the acceleration of a body that keeps the body within the circular path. It is written in terms of the linear velocity v and the radius of the circle of rotation as shown;

a = v²/r where

v is the linear velocity

r is the radius

a is the centripetal acceleration
