An 85-kg man plans to tow a 109 000-kg airplane along a runway by pulling horizontally on a cable attached to it. Suppose that h

e instead attempts the feat by pulling the cable at an angle of 9.08 above the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the runway is 0.77. What is the greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane?

Answer:

The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of man = 85 kg

Mass of airplane = 109000 kg

Distance = 9.08

Coefficient of static friction = 0.77

We need to calculate the greatest friction force

Using formula of friction

$F=\mu mg$

Where, m = mass of man

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$F = 0.77\times85\times9.8$

$F= 641.41\ N$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of newton's second law

$F = ma$

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{ 641.41}{109000}$

$a=0.0059\ m/s^2$

Hence, The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

What are the horizontal and vertical components of a lizard’s displacement if it has climbed 7m directly up a tree?

madam [21]

Answer:

The horizontal component is zero.

The vertical component is $7\sin\theta$

Explanation:

Given that,

The lizard climb 7m directly up on a tree.

We know that,

The horizontal component is

$x=\cos\theta$

The vertical component is

$y=\sin\theta$

If the lizard climb 7m directly up on a tree then,

We need to find the components

Using given data

The horizontal component of lizard is

$x=0$

The vertical component is

$y=7\sin\theta$

Hence, The horizontal component is zero.

The vertical component is $7\sin\theta$

A train accelerates at -1.5 m/s2 for 10 seconds. If the train had an initial

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

17 m/s

Explanation:

Using formula a = (v-u) /t

acceleration a = -1.5 m/s2

final velocity v = unknown

initial velocity u = 32 m/s

time t = 10s

-1.5 = (v-32)/10

-15 = v - 32

-15 + 32 = v

v = 17 m/s

A ball is dropped from a rooftop 60m high. <br> How long is the ball in the air?

alina1380 [7]

Answer: 3.49 s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equation of motion:

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

Where:

$y=0 m$ is the final height of the ball

$y_{o}=60 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the initial velocity (the ball was dropped)

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

$t$ is the time

Isolating $t$ :

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

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (60 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (3)

Finally we find the time the ball is in the air:

$t=3.49 s$ (4)

Which two elements will most likely form an ionic bond? (Click on the periodic table icon to view these elements) krypton and li

netineya [11]

Answer:

Magnesium and Bromine

Explanation:

I just took the test, and Magnesium has 7 electrons and Bromine has 2 valance electrons making the transfer a lot easier. In the first choice, Krypton already has 8 valance electrons therefore it cannot transfer or accept any more which rules it out as a possible answer. Calcium has 2 valance electrons and Potassium has 1 meaning it couldn't make a full shell of 8 and cannot make a ionic bond. Iodine has 7 electrons as well as Chlorine which wouldn't be the answer because it would have more than 8 valance electrons.
