An aircraft, traveling northward, lands on a runway with a speed of 77 m/s. Once it touches down, it slows to 6.3 m/s over 705 m

of runway. What is the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing (in m/s2)

Answer:

magnitude

$a = 4.18 m/s^2$

Direction

Opposite to the velocity of aircraft

Explanation:

As we know that the initial speed of the aircraft when it land on the ground is

$v_i = 77 m/s$

now the final speed of the aircraft when it covers 705 m on runway is given as

$v_f = 6.3 m/s$

so here we know that

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

so now we can say that

$6.3^2 - 77^2 = 2ad$

$6.3^2 - 77^2 = 2(a)(705)$

$a = -4.18 m/s^2$

A grapefruit has a weight on earth of 4.9 newtons. what is the grapefruit's mass?

abruzzese [7]

The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the mass of the object times acceleration due to gravity.

F = ma
4.9N = m (9.8 m/s^2), note that N (newtons) = kg-m/s^2
<u>m = 0.5 kg</u>
<u>The mass of the object is 0.5kg.</u>

Steelhead trout migrate up stream to spawn.Occasionally they need to leap up small waterfalls to continue their journey. Fortuna

Ainat [17]

Part a)

since steelhead jump under the influence of gravity

So we will use kinematic equations

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad$

here at the maximum position we know that final speed will be zero

$v_f = 0$

$a = -9.8 m/s^2$

$v_i = 8m/s$

now we will have

$0 - 8^2 = 2(-9.8)d$

$d = 3.26 m$

so the maximum height that it can reach will be 3.26 m

Part B)

now if it reaches to height 1.8 m with initial speed 8 m/s

so here we will have

$y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$1.8 = 8 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$4.9 t^2 - 8t + 1.8 = 0$

$t = 0.27 s$

An animal-rescue plane flying due east at 27 m/s drops a bale of hay from an altitude of 74 m . The acceleration due to gravity

padilas [110]

To solve this problem we will find the net speed, through the two components given. The vertical component will be found through the energy conservation theorem. Finally with speed we will find the momentum as a function of mass and speed. Given the weight we will divide it by the acceleration to find that mass.

The x component is given as

$v_x = 27m/s$

For conservation of energy the vertical component of velocity would be

$PE = KE$

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv_y^2$

$v_y = \sqrt{2gh}$

Here,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

h = Height

Replacing we have that the vertical velocity is

$v_y = \sqrt{2(9.8)(74)}$

$v_y = 38.08m/s$

The magnitude of this velocity would be

$|V| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$

$|V| = \sqrt{27^2+38.08^2}$

$|V| = 46.68m/s$

Finally the momentum of the bale would be

$p = mv$

$p = (\frac{F}{g})(v)$

$p = (\frac{165}{9.8})(46.68)$

$p = 785.93kg\cdot m/s$

Therefore the momentum of the bale the moment it strikes the ground is $785.93kg\cdot m/s$
