A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 20.6 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in front of

the moon. As seen from the tower, the moon subtends an angle of 9.26x10-3 radians. Find the distance traveled (in meters) by the jet as the observer watches the nose of the jet cross from one side of the moon to the other.

Answer:

197.76 m

Explanation:

r = Radius of the path = 20.6 km = 20.6\times 10^3\ m

\theta = The angle subtended by moon = 9.6\times 10^{-3}\ rad

Distance traveled is given by

s=r\times\theta

\Rightarrow s=20.6\times 10^3\times 9.6\times 10^{-3}

\Rightarrow s=197.76\ m

The distance traveled by the jet is 197.76 m

Determine the launch speed of a horizontally launched projectile that lands 26.3m from the base of a 19.3m high cliff
mote1985 [20]

The launch speed of a horizontally launched projectile is 13.28 m/s.

<h3>Time of motion of the projectile</h3>

The time of motion is calculated as follows;

t = √(2h / g)

where;

  • h is height of the cliff
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2 x 19.3 / 9.8)

t = 1.98 s

<h3>Launch speed of the projectile</h3>

X = Vxt

Vx = X/t

Vx = (26.3)/(1.98)

Vx = 13.28 m/s

Thus, the launch speed of a horizontally launched projectile is 13.28 m/s.

Lina20 [59]

Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

As it is given in the problem, the path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the same mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitational, every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with the gravitational force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is also the largest planet in the solar system. The gravity of Jupiter on its surface is 2.4 times that of surface gravity of the Earth.

If a person weighs 100 pounds on the Earth then he would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), the meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force.
