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

A spinning ice skater will speed up if he brings his arms close to his body. Which of the following statements explains this phe
xxMikexx [17]
A. Angular momentum is always conserved would be the correct answer.

This is because like linear momentum (mvmv), angular momentum (r×mvr×mv) is a conserved quantity, where rr is the vector from the center of rotation. For a skater holding a static pose, for each particle making up her body, the contribution in magnitude to the total angular momentum is given by mirivimirivi. Thus bringing in her arms reduces riri for those particles. In order to conserve angular momentum, there is then an increase in the angular velocity.

hope this helps!

A Boeing 777 aircraft has a mass of 300,000 kg. At a certain instant during its landing, its speed is 27.0 m/s. If the braking f
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of Boeing 777 aircraft = 300,000 kg

Braking force = 445,000 N

Deceleration

            a=\frac{445000}{300000}=1.48m/s^2

Initial velocity, u = 27 m/s

Time , t = 10 s

We have equation of motion, v =u +at

            v = 27 + (-1.48) x 10 = 27 - 14.8 = 12.2 m/s

Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s

What does the slope of a velocity-time graph reveal about an objects motion
Ivan

Answer:

The slope of a velocity graph represents the acceleration of the object. So, the value of the slope at a particular time represents the acceleration of the object at that instant.
