Even though the plane is moving horizontally, the only thing that matters for figuring out how long it’ll take the whee to fall are vertical forces.

In this case the only vertical force is gravity, which has an acceleration of 9.8m/s^2. We are also given height (distance) and starting velocity (0 m/s). We need to solve for time. The equation that incorporates these variables is:

d = vt + ½ at^2
500 = 0t + ½ (9.8)t^2
500 = 4.9t^2
t^2 = 102
t = 10.1 seconds

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

Dry cells become soft even when not in use. Explain.
mamaluj [8]
This is possible due to self-discharge. Very small internal currents inevitably occur in these cells over time and they will eventually exhaust the chemistry.

Which statement correctly describes variable stars?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

The Period-Luminosity relationship tells us that luminosity increases with the period, and of course the more luminosity a star has the more far away they can be seen, so from this we know that:

A) False since lower luminosities can be observed when they are close.

B) False since longer periods means higher luminosities

C) False since lower luminosities can be observed when they are close.

D) True: Variable stars with shorter periods have lower luminosities, so they can only be observed when they are close.

A 0.2-stone is attached to a string and swung in a circle of radius 0.6 m on a horizontal and frictionless surface. If the stone
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

2960 N

Explanation:

Convert rev/min to rad/s:

150 rev/min × (2π rad/rev) × (1 min / 60 s) = 50π rad/s

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

T = m v² / r

T = m ω² r

T = (0.2 kg) (50π rad/s)² (0.6 m)

T = 2960 N

1. A ball is launched horizontally at 40 m/s while 6.0 m above a level field . How far will the ball move horizontally before st
Tresset [83]

Answer:

44 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal velocity of the ball, u = 40 m/s

It is 6 m above the level field.

We need to find the distance covered by the ball when move horizontally before striking the ground. Let it is d.

Firstly, we will find time taken for the ball to hit the ground. Using second equation of motion as follows :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put u = 0 and a = g

s=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6}{9.8}} \\\\t=1.1\ s

No finding the horizontal distance as follows :

d = ut

d = 40 m/s × 1.1 s

d = 44 m

So, the ball will move 44 m horizontally before striking the ground.
