An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 41 m/s drops a package of emergency rations from a height of 192 m to a stranded party of expl

orers. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released? Answer in units of m. 008 (part 2 of 3) 10.0 points What is the horizontal component of the velocity just before it hits? Answer in units of m/s. 009 (part 3 of 3) 10.0 points What is the vertical component of the velocity just before it hits? (Choose upward as the positive vertical direction) Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

a)The package strikes 256.2 m in the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released

b) The horizontal component will not change it remains same as 41 m/s

c) Vertical component of velocity = 61.41 m/s

Explanation:

a) Consider the vertical motion of plane,

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Displacement, s = 192 m

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

192 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

t = 6.26 seconds

Now we need to find horizontal distance traveled in 6.26 seconds by the package.

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 41 m/s

Time, t = 6.26 s

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 41 x 6.26 + 0.5 x 0 x 6.26²

s = 256.52 m

The package strikes 256.2 m in the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released

b) The horizontal component will not change it remains same as 41 m/s

c) We have equation of motion, v = u+ at

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Time, t = 6.26 s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

v = u+ at

v = 0 + 9.81 x 6.26 = 61.41 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = 61.41 m/s

One piece of copper jewelry at 111°C has exactly twice the mass of another piece, which is at 28°C. Both pieces are placed insid

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

83.33 C

Explanation:

T1 = 111 C, m1 = 2m

T2 = 28 C, m2 = m

c = 0.387 J/gK

Let the final temperature inside the calorimeter of T.

Use the principle of calorimetery

heat lost by hot body = heat gained by cold body

m1 x c x (T1 - T) = m2 x c x (T - T2)

2m x c X (111 - T) = m x c x (T - 28)

2 (111 - T) = (T - 28)

222 - 2T = T - 28

3T = 250

T = 83.33 C

Thus, the final temperature inside calorimeter is 83.33 C.

Why are the meters squared in the formula to calculate acceleration?

lianna [129]

Answer:

During acceleration, you are moving across a distance over a time, but also increasing how fast we are doing it. Therefore, it means by how many meters per second the velocity changes every second

A) Julie is running to the right at 5 m/s, as shown in the 1st figure. Balls 1 and 2 are thrown toward her at 10 m/s by friends

Svetach [21]

Part 1)

here Julie is running at speed 5 m/s

So here two balls are thrown at speed 10 m/s towards Julie with respect to her friend standing on the ground.

So here this all speed is real speed of all.

Now as per Anita (let say she is one of her friend standing on ground) the speed of two balls will be same as the given speed as she is observing from ground or stationary frame

As per the frame of Julie

speed of ball 1

$v_{1j} = v_1 - v_j$

$v_{1j} = 10 - 5 = 5 m/s$ towards her in same side

speed of ball 2

$v_{2j} = v_2 - v_j$

$v_{2j} = -10 - 5 = -15 m/s$ towards her from opposite side

Part b)

Now in this case the speed of two balls is given with respect to Julie

so we can say

for ball 1

$v_{1j} = v_1 - v_j$

$10 = v_1 - 5$

so in ground frame speed of ball 1 is

$v_1 = 15 m/s$

Similarly for ball 2

$v_{2j} = v_2 - v_j$

$-10 = v_2 - 5$

So speed in ground frame of ball 2 is

$v_2 = - 5 m/s$

so its 5 m/s from opposite side

A 1.0-μm-diameter oil droplet (density 900 kg/m3) is negatively charged with the addition of 39 extra electrons. It is released

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$6.75\mu C/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter,d= $1\mu m=1\time 10^{-6} m$

$1\mu m=10^{-6} m$

Radius,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times 10^{-6}=0.5 \times 10^{-6} m$

Density, $\rho=900kg/m^3$

Total number of electrons,n=39

Charge on electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Total charge= $q=ne=39\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=62.4\times 10^{-19} C$

Distance,s=2mm= $2\times 10^{-3} m$

Mass = $density\times volume=900\times \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=900\times \frac{4}{3}\pi(0.5\times 10^{-6})^3=4.7\times 10^{-16} kg$

Initial velocity,u=0

Final speed,v=4.5 m/s

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$(4.5)^2-0=2a(2\times 10^{-3})$

$20.25=4a\times 10^{-3}$

$a=\frac{20.25}{4\times 10^{-3}}=5062.5m/s^2$

Force,F=ma

$qE=ma$

$q(\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0})=ma$

$\sigma=\frac{2\epsilon_0ma}{q}=\frac{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 4.7\times 10^{-16}\times 5062.5}{62.4\times 10^{-19}}$

$\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$\sigma=6.75\times 10^{-6}C/m^2=6.75\mu C/m^2$

so classmate states that continental drift could not be possible because it would take far too much force to move tectonic plate

Juliette [100K]

Any student who states that tectonic plates are too massive to move doesn't understand how much heat exists in the center of the earth. This heat is capable of moving the most massive of plates.
