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

If the distance between two masses is tripled, the gravitational force between changes by a factor of
maw [93]

A. 1/9

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the two masses

r is the distance between the two masses

From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the distance is tripled (increased by a factor 3), the magnitude of the force changes by a factor

\frac{1}{r^2}=\frac{1}{3^2}=\frac{1}{9}

What kind of radiation is emitted in the following nuclear reaction
miv72 [106K]

Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.
