Answer:

7 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the jet is traveling 37.6 m/s when the pilot receives the message. 

And it takes the pilot 5.37 s to bring the plane to a halt.

Acceleration of the plane can be calculated by using first equation of motion

V = U - at

Since the plane is going to stop, the final velocity V = zero.

And the acceleration will be negative

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

0 = 37.6 - 5.37a

5.37a = 37.6

Make a the subject of formula

a = 37.6 / 5.37

a = 7.0 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the plane to bring the plane to a halt is 7 m/s^2

Look at paths of the projectiles. What effect does air resistance have on the projectile?
inna [77]

Answer:

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction

Explanation:

The projectile motion is described by the kinematics equations giving a parabolic trajectory, where on the x axis there is no acceleration and on the y axis the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity.

When the air resistance is taken into account it can be approximated as a force that opposes the movement that for low speeds is proportional to the speed of the space.

Consequently, the movement in the axis and the acceleration is less, in some cases it can be so small that the constant handle speed, in this case, is called terminal velocity.

On the x-axis the friction force creates an acceleration in the negative direction of the movement that the projectile has to brake.

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction.

Answer:

3 820 885 N

Explanation:

Gravitational equation

   F = G  m1 m2 / r^2    

         G = gravitational constant = 6.6713 x 10^-11 m^3/kg-s^2

F = 6.6713 x 10^-11   *   4.41 x 10^5  * 5.97 x 10^24  / ( 6.78x 10^6)^2

 = 3820885 .3 N
