A plane flying horizontally at a speed of 50 m/s and at an elevation of 160 m drops a package, and 2.0 s later it drops a second

package. How far apart will the two packages land on the ground if air resistance is negligible?

Answer:

386 m

Explanation:

Let's call the horizontal distance between the point of launch and the point of landing of the first package x\text{ m}.

2 seconds after landing at x, the plane has travelled a horizontal distance of 2\text{ s}\times 50 \text{ m/s} = 100\text{ m}.

At this new point, the second package is launched. Because it is launched under the same conditions as the first, its horizontal distance from its point of launch is also x\text { m}.

To determine x, we determine the time of fall of the package. Being a vertical motion, the drop has an initial velocity, u, of 0 m/s with acceleration, a = g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}{}^2, and a distance, s, of 160 m. We use the equation of motion:

s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

160 = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}9.8\times t^2

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{160}{4.9}}\text { s}=\dfrac{40}{7}\text { s}

In this time, the package, with a horizontal velocity of 50 m/s, travels the horizontal distance, x, of

x = 50 \text{ m/s}\times \dfrac{40}{7}\text { s} = \dfrac{2000}{7}\text { m} = 286 \text{ m}

The distance apart between both packages is x+100\text{ m} = 286+100\text{ m} = 386\text{ m}

A total charge of 9.0 mC passes through a cross-sectional area of a nichrome wire in 3.6s. The number of electrons passing throu
Setler79 [48]
<h2>Given :</h2>

  • total charge = 9.0 mC = 0.009 C

Each electron has a charge of :

1.6 \times 10 {}^{ - 19} \:  C

For producing 1 Cuolomb charge we need :

  • \mathrm{\dfrac{1}{1.6 \times 10 {}^{ - 19} } }

  • \dfrac{10 {}^{19} }{1.6}

  • \dfrac{10\times 10 {}^{19} }{16}

  • \dfrac{100 \times 10 {}^{18} }{16}

  • \mathrm{6.24 \times 10 {}^{18}  \:  \: electrons}

Now, for producing 0.009 C of charge, the number of electrons required is :

  • 0.009 \times 6.24 \times  {10}^{18}

  • 0.05616 \times 10 {}^{18}

  • \mathrm{5.616 \times 10 {}^{16}  \:  \: electons}

_____________________________

So, Number of electrons passing through the cross section in 3.6 seconds is :

\mathrm{5.616 \times 10 {}^{16} \:  \: electrons}

Number of electrons passing through it in 1 Second is :

  • \dfrac{5.616 \times  {10}^{16} }{3.6}

  • \mathrm{1.56 \times 10 {}^{16}  \:  \: electrons}

Now, in 10 seconds the number of electrons passing through it is :

  • 10 \times  \mathrm{1.56 \times 10 {}^{16}  \:  \: }

  • \mathrm{1.56 \times 10 {}^{17}  \:  \: electrons}

If a 2 cm vector represents speed, and 1 cm equals 5 m/s, how fast is the represented
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 10m/s

Explanation: Since a single vector with length of 1cm expresses 5m/s, the vector which has a length doubled from the original vector should have the speed which is also doubled.
