A transport plane takes off from a level landing field with two gliders in tow, one behind the other. The mass of each glider is

700 kg, and the total resistance (air drag plus friction with the runway) on each may be assumed constant and equal to 2900N . The tension in the towrope between the transport plane and the first glider is not to exceed 12000 N.
A- If a speed of 40 m/s is required for takeoff, what minimum length of runway is needed?

B- What is the tension in the towrope between the two gliders while they are accelerating for the takeoff?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

a) Δx = 180.59 m

b) T = 6001 N

Explanation:

a)

According to Newton's second law, which says that acceleration is directly proportional to the net force, the equation is equal to:

ΣF = m*a = T-f

Clearing a, and solving:

a = (T-f)/m = (T-f)/2*m = (12000-5800)/(2*700) = 4.43 m/s^2

To evaluate the final speed the following equation will be used:

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*Δx = 0 + 2*a*Δx = 2*a*Δx

Clearing Δx:

Δx = vf^2/2*a = (40 m/s)^2/(2* 4.43 m/s^2) = 180.59 m

b)

The tension is equal to:

T = m*a + f = (700 kg * 4.43 m/s^2) + 2900 N = 6001 N

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into --------<br> energy.
pickupchik [31]

The correct answer to the question is :  Electric energy

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we have an electric generator.

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the function of generator.

The generator is attached to the turbine. When the turbine rotates, the generator also starts rotating with it. Thanks to electromagnetic induction, the electricity is produced in the coil attached to the generator when it rotates.

Hence, from above, it is obvious that kinetic energy is converted into electric energy.

Before designing the filter, one must understand the relationship between the output voltage of the circuit and the frequency. F
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Option b. is correct

Explanation:

An RLC electrical circuit consists of constituent components: a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C). A resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor are connected in series or parallel.

The impedances of the circuit elements depend on the frequency.

Both impedance magnitudes decrease when the frequency increases

Estimate the total number of bacteria and other prokaryotes in the biosphere of the earth. (assume the bacteria are found to a d
Fofino [41]
Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria
