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

A 1.0 kg ball falls from rest a distance of 19.6 m.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

192.08J

19.6m/s

Explanation:

Since there will be no potential energy when the ball is on the ground, the change in potential energy is equal to the potential energy at the start when the ball is 19.6m above the ground.

PE=mgh

=(1)(9.8)(19.6)

=192.08J

v²=u²+2as, where v is the final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is distance. Initial velocity is 0 since it starts at rest.

v²=u²+2as

v²=0²+2(9.8)(19.6)

v=√384.16

=19.6m/s

slega [8]
An object is in motion if its distance from another object is changing. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. An reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is moving.

Tanya [424]

Answer: I'm not sure what it needs to be rounded to, but I got 37.53501401 m/s

Explanation: The formula for speed is speed = distance/time. You plug in the distance (13.40) and the time (0.357), then divide 13.40 by 0.357

I hope this helps! :)

How to do this, i'm completely lost

There are two torques t1 and t2 on the beam due to the weights, one torque t3 due to the weight of the beam, and one torque t4 due to the string.

You need to figure out t4 to know the tension in the string.

Since the whole thing is not moving t1 + t2 + t3 = t4.

torque t = r * F * sinФ = distance from axis of rotation * force * sin (∡ between r and F)

t1 =3.2 * 44g 
t2 = 7 * 49g 
t3 = 3.5 * 24g 

t4 = t1 + t2 + t3 = 5570,118

The t4 also is given by:

t4 = r * T * sin Ф

r = 7
Ф = 32°
T: tension in the string

T = t4 / (r * sinФ)

T = t4 / (7 * sin(32°)) 

T = 1501,6 N
