A relief airplane is delivering a food package to a group of people stranded on a very small island. The island is too small for

the plane to land on, and the only way to deliver the package is by dropping it. The airplane flies horizontally with constant speed of 442km/hour at an altitude of 575m . For all parts, assume that the "island" refers to the point at a distance D from the point at which the package is released. Ignore the height of this point above sea level. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.80m/s^2 .
A) After a package is ejected from the plane, how long will it take for it to reach sea level from the time it is ejected? Assume that the package, like the plane, has an initial velocity of 442 km/hour in the horizontal direction.
Express your answer numerically in seconds. Neglect air resistance.
B) If the package is to land right on the island, at what horizontal distance D from the plane to the island should the package be released?
Express the distance numerically in meters.
C) What is the speed vf of the package when it hits the ground?
Express your answer numerically in meters per second.

speed of the plane is given as

v = 442 km/h = 122.8 m/s

height of the plane is

h = 575 m

acceleration due to gravity is

g = 9.80 m/s^2

part a)

when package is dropped its vertical speed is zero so we can use kinematics to find the time of drop

\delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

575 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.80*t^2

t = 10.83 s

Part b)

Horizontal distance moved by the package is given by

\delta x = v_x * t

\delta x = 122.8 * 10.83

\delta x = 1330.3 m

Part c)

final speed in x direction

v_x = 122.8 m/s

final speed in y direction

v_y = 9.8*10.83 = 106.13 m/s

so net speed as it hit the ground will be

v = \sqrt{v_y^2 + v_x^2}

v = \sqrt{122.8^2 + 106.13^2}

v = 162.3 m/s

A food processor draws 8.47 A of current when connected to a potential difference of 110 V.
Andreyy89

Answer:

27.95[kW*min]

Explanation:

We must remember that the power can be determined by the product of the current by the voltage.

P=V*I

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [volt]

I = amperage [Amp]

Now replacing:

P=110*8.47\\P=931.7[W]

Now the energy consumed can be obtained mediate the multiplication of the power by the amount of time in operation, we must obtain an amount in Kw per hour [kW-min]

Energy = 931.7[kW]*30[days]*10[\frac{min}{1day} ]=279510[W*min]or 27.95[kW*min]

The train traveled 500 kilometers north to Odessa in 2 hours . What’s the train’s speed ? What is the velocity ?
ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

Speed is distance over time.

500 km / 2 hr = 250 km/hr

Velocity is speed and direction.

250 km/hr north

__________ is when a person becomes less sensitive to a drug. A. Tolerance B. Craving C. Addiction D. Dependence
Luden [163]
A) Tolerance

Tolerance is developed after using a drug repeatedly, so the body adapts to it. Because of that, people who develop a tolerance would then need to use more of that drug to get the same effect.
