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

A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up in the air. After the pin leaves his hand and while it is in the air, which statement
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The velocity of the pin is opposite its acceleration on the way up.

(d) option is correct.

Explanation:

when the juggler throws a bowling pin straight in the air, the acceleration working on the pin is in the downward direction due to the gravitational force of the earth.

According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation

''The gravitational force is a force that attracts any objects with mass''

What electric field strength would store 12.5 JJ of energy in every 6.00 mm3mm3 of space?
Tcecarenko [31]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the potential energy per unit volume for which we will obtain an energy density relationship that can be related to the electric field. From this formula it will be possible to find the electric field required in the problem. Our values are given as

The potential energy,  U = 13.0 J

The volume,  V = 6.00 mm^3 = 6.00*10^{-9}m^3

The potential energy per unit volume is defined as the energy density.

u = \frac{U}{V}

u= \frac{(13.0 J)}{(6.00*10^{-9} m^3)}

u= 2.167109 J/m^3

The energy density related with electric field is given by

u = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E^2

Here, the permitivity of the free space is

\epsilon_0 = 8.85*10^-{12} C^2/N \cdot m^2

Therefore, rerranging to find the electric field strength we have,

E = \sqrt{\frac{2u}{\epsilon_0}}

E = \sqrt{\frac{2(2.167109)}{8.85*10^{-12}}}

E = 2.211010 V/m

Therefore the electric field is 2.21V/m
