A fighter jet is launched from an aircraft carrier with the aid of its own engines and a steam-powered catapult. The thrust of i

ts engines is 2.3 x 10^5 N. In being launched from rest it moves a distance of 87 m and has a kinetic energy of 4.5 x 10^7 J at lift-off. What is the work done on the jet by the catapult?

Answer:

2.5 x 10⁷ J

Explanation:

F = thrust of the engine = 2.3 x 10⁵ N

d = distance traveled = 87  m

Work done by the engine is given as

W = F d =  (2.3 x 10⁵) (87) = 200.1 x 10⁵ J

W' = Net work done

W'' = work done by catapult

KE₀ = initial kinetic energy = 0 J

KE = final kinetic energy = 4.5 x 10⁷ J

Net work done is given as

W' = KE - KE₀

W' = 4.5 x 10⁷ J

We know that

W' = W + W''

4.5 x 10⁷ = 2.001 x 10⁷ + W''

W'' = 2.5 x 10⁷ J

Sam, whose mass is 75 kg, straps on his skis and starts down a 50-m-high, 20 frictionless slope. A strong headwind exerts a hori
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sam mass=75kg

Height is 50m

20° frictionless slope

Horizontal force on Sam is 200N

According to the work energy theorem, the net work done on Sam will be equal to his change in kinetic energy.

Therefore

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

Note initial the body was at rest at top of the slope.

Then, ∆K.E is K.E(final) - K.E(initial)

K.E Is given as ½mv²

Since initial velocity is zero then, K.E(initial ) is zero

Therefore, ∆K.E=½mVf²

Wg is work done by gravity and it is given by using P.E formulas

Wg=mgh

Wg=75×9.8×50

Wg=36750J

Ww is work done by wind and it's is given by using formulae for work

Work=force × distance

Ww=horizontal force × horizontal distance

Using Trig.

TanX=opposite/adjacent

Tan20=h/x

x=h/tan20

x=50/tan20

x=137.37m

Then,

Ww=F×x

Ww=200×137.37

We=27474J

Now applying the formula

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

36750 - 27474 =½×75×Vf²

9276=37.5Vf²

Vf²=9275/37.5

Vf²= 247.36

Vf=√247.36

Vf=15.73m/s

The Moon is about 3.8 ✕ 108 m from Earth. Traveling at the speed of light, 3.0 ✕ 108 m/s, how long does it take a laser beam to
lana66690 [7]
Hello

1) The total distance the light has to cover to go from Earth to the Moon and back is twice the distance between the Earth and the Moon:
S=2d=2\cdot 3.8 \cdot 10^8~m =7.6 \cdot 10^8~m

2) Given the relationship
v= \frac{S}{t}
where v=3\cdot10^8~m/s is the speed of light, S the total distance covered calculate at point 1), and t the time, we can find the time the light needs to go from Earth to the Moon and back again:
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{7.6\cdot10^8 m}{3\cdot10^8~m/s}=2.53~s

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Only 9% weaker

Explanation:

Because this is where most stuff that people do in space takes place. So, um, here we're at a radius of the earth plus 300 kilometers. You may already be seeing why this isn't going to have much effect if this were except the 6.68 times, 10 to the sixth meters. And so the value of Gout here. You know, Newton's gravitational constant times, the mass of the Earth divided by R squared for the location we're looking at. And so this works out to be 8.924 meters per second squared, which is certainly less than it is at the surface of the earth. However, this is only 9% less than acceleration for gravity at the surface. So the decrease in the gravity gravitational acceleration of nine percent not really going toe produces a sensation of weightlessness.
