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

A bird uses 10 N of force to pull a worm out of the ground a distance of 3 inches. How much work did the bird do?
pochemuha

Answer:

The work done by the bird is 0.762 J

Explanation:

Given;

force applied by the bird, f = 10 N

distance the bird moved the worm, d = 3 inches = 0.0762 m

The work done by the bird is given by;

W = F x d

where;

W is the work done by the bird

d is the distance the bird moved the load

Substitute the given values and estimate the work done by the bird;

W = 10 x 0.0762

W = 0.762 J

Therefore, the work done by the bird is 0.762 J

Standing on a mountain, you look towards another mountain 6.00 km away, on which there are two persons standing 1.00 meter apart
allsm [11]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

We shall solve this problem by calculating the resolving power of eye for given wavelength

Resolving Power of eye = \frac{1.22\lambda }{D}

Where λ is wave length of light and D is diameter of eye.

λ is 600 nm and D is 3.5 mm . Put these values in the given formula

Resolving Power = \frac{1.22\times 600\times 10^{-9} }{3.5\times 10^{-3}}\\

=209.14 \times 10^{-6}radian

From the formula

Φ = \frac{L}{D}[/tex]

Where Ф is resolving power . If L be distance between two points that can be resolved at distance D. D is 6 km or 6000 m .

209.14  \times 10^{-6}=\frac{L}{6000}\\

L= 1.254 m

So minimum distance that can be resolved is 1.254 m.

Two children are pulling and pushing a 30.0 kg sled. The child pulling the sled is exerting a force of 12.0 N at a 45o angle. Th
raketka [301]
In order to calculate the weight, we may simply use:
W = mg
W = 30 * 9.81
W = 294.3 N

The sum of the reaction force and the upward component of child pulling will be equal to total downward force. The force acting downwards is the weight. Therefore:
R + 12sin(45) = 294.3
R = 285.82 N

The acceleration can be found using the resultant force and the mass of the sled. The resultant force is:
F(r) = pulling force + pushing force - friction
F(r) = 12cos(45) + 8 - 5
F(r) = 11.48 N
a = F/m
a = 11.48 / 30
a = 0.38 m/s²
