A jet aircraft with mass of 658,055 kilograms is flying straight downward. At an instant the plane's engine is producing an down

ward thrust (force) of 1,484,732.5 Newtons and air resistance is exerting a force of 740,492.6 Newtons upward. What is the acceleration of the plane in m/s2 at that instant?

Answer:

The acceleration of the plane is 10.93 m/s² at that instant.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of aircraft, $m=658055\textrm{ kg}$

Downward thrust produced, $F=1484732.5\textrm{ N}$

Upward resistance force by air, $F_{R}=740492.6\textrm{ N}$

Weight of the aircraft acting donward, $W=mg=658055\times 9.8=6448939\textrm{ N}$

According to Newton's second law, net force acting on an object is equal to the product of mass and its acceleration.

Here, the net force is given as the difference of downward forces and upward forces.

$F_{net}= F+W-F_{R}\\ F_{net}=1484732.5+6448939-740492.6=7193178.9\textrm{ N}$

Now,

$F_{net}=ma\\7193178.9=658055a\\a=\frac{7193178.9}{658055}=10.93\textrm{ }m/s^{2}$

Therefore, the acceleration of the plane is 10.93 m/s² at that instant.

A cannon, positioned on a hill, shoots a cannonball horizontally at 23 m/s. The cannonball hits the stone wall 1.96 m below the

irina [24]

Answer: 14. 49 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$x=V_{o} cos \theta t$ (1)

$y-y_{o}=V_{o} sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x$ is the horizontal distance between the cannon and the ball

$V_{o}=23 m/s$ is the cannonball initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ since the cannonball was shoot horizontally

$t$ is the time

$y=0$ is the final height of the cannonball

$y_{o}=1.96 m$ is the initial height of the cannonball

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Isolating $t$ from (2):

$t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(y-y_{o})}{g}}$ (3)

$t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(0 m-1.96 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (4)

$t=0.63 s$ (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

$x=(23 m/s) cos(0\°) 0.63 s$ (6)

Finally:

$x=14.49 m$

At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;

A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20

B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10

Given that t = 0 in both cases;

vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20

vA = 20 m/s

For vB

vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10

vB = 10 m/s

We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?

Many planets in our solar system (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have rings. If these rings are made of chunks of debris, why do they

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Generally, rings form from moons, asteroids, or comets that have disintegrated due to a collision or because they got too close to their planet (Roche Limit). ... Most of the debris, however, will not have enough energy to overcome the planet's gravity and will remain in orbit around the planet.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Part a)

$\rho = 3\epsilon_0 k r^2$

Part b)

$Q = 4\pi \epsilon_0kR^5$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that electric field intensity due to some given charge distribution is given as

$E = kr^3 \hat r$

now electric flux through a spherical surface of radius r is given as

$\phi = E. A$

$\phi = kr^3(4\pi r^2)$

now by Guass law we know that

$E.A = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

$q = 4\pi \epsilon_0kr^5$

now volume charge density is given as

$\rho = \frac{q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}$

$\rho = 3\epsilon_0 k r^2$

Part b)

Total charge inside the radius R is given as

$Q = 4\pi \epsilon_0kR^5$
