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.

34kurt
Given: Mass m = 60 Kg

           Weight  W = 96 N

Required: Acceleration due to gravity, g = ?

Formula:  W = mg

                g = W/g

                g = 96 Kg.m/s²/60 Kg   (note: this is the derive unit for Newton "N")

                g = 1.6 m/s²

If one bulb broke in series circuit the other will light up ?
Charra [1.4K]
It makes no difference whether there are two bulbs or 1000 bulbs. If they are all in series then when one bulb burns out, or one little piece of wire between two bulbs comes loose, ALL of them go dark. In that situation it's a challenge to find where the break in the circuit is because all of the bulbs are dark.

A satellite that weighs 4900 N on the launchpad travels around the earth's equator in a circular orbit with a period of 1.667 h.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

(a)F= 3.83 * 10^3 N

(b)Altitude=8.20 * 10^5 m

Explanation:

On the launchpad weight = gravitational force between earth and satellite.

W = GMm/R²

where R is the earth radius.

Re-arranging:

WR² / GM = m

m = 4900 * (6.3 * 10^6)² / (6.67 * 10^-11 * 5.97 * 10^24) = 488 kg

The centripetal force (Fc) needed to keep the satellite moving in a circular orbit of radius (r) is:

Fc = mω²r

where ω is the angular velocity in radians/second. The satellite completes 1 revolution, which is 2π radians, in 1.667 hours.

ω = 2π / (1.667 * 60 * 60) = 1.05 * 10^-3 rad/s

When the satellite is in orbit at a distance (r) from the CENTRE of the earth, Fc is provided by the gravitational force  between the earth and the satellite:

Fc = GMm/r²

mω²r = GMm / r²

ω²r = GM / r²

r³ = GM/ω² = (6.67 * 10^-11 * 5.97 * 10^24) / (1.05 * 10^-3)²  

r³ = 3.612 * 10^20

r = 7.12 * 10^6 m

(a) F = GMm/r²  

F=(6.67 * 10^-11 * 5.97 * 10^24 * 488) / (7.12 * 10^6 )²

F= 3.83 * 10^3 N

(b) Altitude = r - R = (7.12 * 10^6) - (6.3 * 10^6) = 8.20 * 10^5 m

Is P4O8 a ionic or covalent compound??
tresset_1 [31]

Salt is made up of sodium and chloride and is ionically bonded. Sugar, on the other hand, is composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen and has covalent bonds. A salt molecule is made up of one sodium atom and one chlorine atom. For salt to be made, the sodium atom must lose an electron and become a sodium ion.
