A crate falls from an airplane flying horizontally at an altitude of 2,000 m.

Answer:

20.2 seconds

Explanation:

The airplane (and therefore the crate) initially has no vertical velocity, so v₀ = 0 m/s.

The crate is in free fall, so a = -9.8 m/s².

The crate falls downward, so Δx = -2000 m.

Find: t, the time it takes for the crate to land.

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

-2000 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 20.2 s

It takes 20.2 seconds for the crate to land.

A person is placed in a large, hollow, metallic sphere that is insulated from ground. (a) If a large charge is placed on the sph

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is given that the sphere is insulated from ground and a large charge is placed on the sphere. The charge on the hollow sphere will always remain on the outer surface of the sphere and there will be no charge on the inner surface of the sphere.

If a person touches the inner surface of the sphere then he will not be harmed as there is no charge on the inner surface of the sphere.

If a person carries the charge of the opposite sign of the same magnitude then the sphere and person get neutralized upon touching the sphere.

If a person does not touches the sphere then the charge on the outer surface will be zero and there will be a positive charge on the inner surface of the sphere

A sound wave traveling at 343 m/s is emitted by the foghorn of a tugboat. an echo is heard 2.80 s later. how far away is the ref

Nostrana [21]

The echo is heard 2.80 s later, this means this is the time the sound takes to travel to the reflecting object and then back to us. So, during this time, the sound wave has covered the distance L between us and the object twice:
$S=2L$
The speed of the sound wave is: $v=343 m/s$ , and since it is moving by uniform motion, we can find the distance covered by the wave using
$S=vt=(343 m/s)(2.80 s)=960 m$
And we said this corresponds to twice the distance between us and the reflecting object, so:
$L= \frac{S}{2} = \frac{960 m}{2} =480 m$
so, the object is 480 meters away.
