A transport plane takes off from a level landing field with two gliders in tow, one behind the other. The mass of each glider is

700 kg, and the total resistance (air drag plus friction with the runway) on each may be assumed constant and equal to 1900 N. The tension in the towrope between the transport plane and the first glider is not to exceed 12000 N. Part A If a speed of 40 is required for takeoff, what minimum length of runway is needed? Express your answer using two significant figures. Part B What is the tension in the towrope between the two gliders while they are accelerating for the takeoff? Express your answer using two significant figures. Please try to explain how you get to the answer.

Answer:

(a)  Length =136.58 m

(b)  T=5995 N

Explanation:

for the glider in the back

T - 1900 = 700 a

for the glider in front

12000-T -1900 = 700a

add equations

12000-3800 = 1400 a

a=5.85 m/s^2

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a x

40^2 = 2*5.85*x

Length =136.58 m

b) plug the a back into one of the previous formula

T -  1900 = 700*5.85

T=5995 N

Violet light of wavelength 427 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.684 eV from a certain metal. What is the w
frutty [35]

Answer:

The work function of the metal is 2.226 eV.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the violet light, λ = 427 nm = 427 x 10⁻⁹ m

maximum kinetic energy, K.E = 0.684 eV

The energy of the incident light is calculated as;

E = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{6.626 \ \times \ 10^{-34} \ \times\ 3\ \times \ 10^8 }{427 \ \times \ 10^{-9}} = 4.655 \ \times \ 10^{-19} \ J\\\\1 \ eV = 1.6 \ \times \ 10^{-19} \ J\\\\E =( \frac{4.655 \ \times \ 10^{-19} \ J }{1.6 \ \times \ 10^{-19} \ J} ) \ eV\\\\E = 2.91 \ eV

Apply Einstein's photoelectric equation;

E = Ф + K.E

where;

Ф is the work function of the metal

Ф  = E - K.E

Ф  = 2.91 eV - 0.684 eV

Ф  = 2.226 eV.

Therefore, the work function of the metal is 2.226 eV.

What is the bicyclist's velocity at t=35s?
dlinn [17]
Since we are talking about the relation between the velocity and the time, the distance must be given.
Since no distance is given here, then I'll just tell you how to solve this question in terms of equations and you can substitute with the numbers you have.

The velocity can be calculated using the following rule:
velocity = distance / time
we are given the time as 3.5 seconds, therefore:
velocity = distance / 3.5
