A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 26 m/s when a 60

kg skydiver drops out by releasing his grip on the glider.
What is the glider's speed just after the skydiver lets go?

Answer:

The glider’s speed after the skydiver lets go is 26 m/s

Explanation:

To calculate the glider’s speed just after the skydiver lets go, we will need to use the conservation of momentum

Mathematically;

mv = mv + mv

so 680 * 26 = (680-60)v + 60 * 26

17680 = 620v + 1560

17680-1560 = 620v

16120 = 620v

v = 16120/620

v = 26 m/s

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 2.60 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 4.70 m
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish will have horizontal velocity of 2.6 m/s which is also the velocity of eagle. Additionally , he will have vertical velocity due to fall under gravity .

v² = u² + 2 g H .

v² = 0  + 2 x 9.8 x 4.7 m

= 92.12

v = 9.6 m /s

The fish's final velocity will have two components

vertical component = 9.6 m/s downwards

Horizontal component = 2.6 m /s  .

Resultant velocity = √ ( 9.6² + 2.6² )

= √ ( 92.16 + 6.76 )

= 9.9 m /s

A charge +3q is placed at x = 0 and a charge +11q is placed at x = 5 units. Where, along the x-axis is the net force on a charge
RideAnS [48]

At x = 1.72 units  the net force on a charge Q equal to zero when a charge +3q is placed at x = 0 and a charge +11q is placed at x = 5 units.

A net force is defined as the sum of all the forces acting on an object. The equation below is the sum of N forces acting on an object. There may be several forces acting on an object, and when you add up all of those forces, the result is what we call the net force acting on the object.

This equation is the sum of n forces acting on an object. The magnitude of the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object, as shown in this formula.

+3q        ⇔        +11q

x = ?      ⇔         x = 5

\frac{1}{4\pi E0} (\frac{3q}{x^{2} } -\frac{11q}{(5-x)^{2} } ) = 0

\frac{3}{x^{2} } = \frac{11q}{(5-x)^{2} }

\frac{5-x}{x} = \sqrt{\frac{11}{3} }  = 1.91\\

5-x = 1.91x\\x = 1.715 = 1.72 units

∴ At x = 1.72 units  the net force on a charge Q equal to zero

Easy Guided Online Tutorial A special electronic sensor is embedded in the seat of a car that takes riders around a circular loo
kumpel [21]

Answer:

v = 17.30 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law

at the bottom of the loop and stopped

           ∑ F = 0

           N-W = 0

           N = W

            W = 770 N

the mass of the body is

            W = mg

             m = W / g

            m = 770 / 9.8

            m = 78.6 kg

on top of the loop and moving

           ∑ F = m a

           N + W = m a

note that the three vectors go in the same vertical direction down

           

the centripetal acceleration is

           a = v² / r

we substitute

           N + W = m v² / r

           v = \sqrt{(N+W) \frac{r}{m} }

let's calculate

          v = \sqrt{ (350+770) \frac{21}{78.6} }

          v = 17.30 m / s

If a projectile hits a stationary target, and the projectile continues to travel in the same direction, the mass of the projecti
nika2105 [10]

The correct arrangement of the question is;

If a projectile hits a stationary target, and the projectile continues to travel in the same direction,

A) the mass of the projectile is less than the mass of the target.

B) the mass of the projectile is equal to the mass of the target.

C) the mass of the projectile is greater than the mass of the target.

D) nothing can be said about the masses of the projectile and target without further information.

E) this is an unphysical situation and will not actually happen.

Answer:

Option C: The mass of the projectile is greater than the mass of the target.

Explanation:

We want to find what will happen when a projectile continues in motion after it hits a target.

Now, for the projectile to keep moving in that direction after it hits the target, it means it had a force bigger than the force of the target to overpower it and force it to move with it.

Now, from law of inertia, Force = ma.

But in this case acceleration is 0 because the speed of the projectile is constant.

Thus, the force depends on the mass. So for a higher force, the mass of the projectile has to be more than that of the stationary object.

Thus, option C is correct
