There are competitions in which pilots fly small planes low over the ground and drop weights, trying to hit a target. A pilot fl

ying low and slow drops a weight; it takes 2.0 s to hit the ground, during which it travels a horizontal distance of 100 m. Now the pilot does a run at the same height but twice the speed. How much time does it take the weight to hit the ground? How far does it travel before it lands?

Answer:

1) 2 seconds

2) 200 m

Explanation:

1) Fall time at initial speed s_{1} = t_{1}

  Fall time at final speed s_{2} = t_{2}

  Initial fall height h_{1} at initial speed = Final fall height h_{2} at final speed i.e h_{1} = h_{2}

s = speed

t = time

h = height

Therefore, since fall time depends on fall height where acceleration due to gravity (g) is constant,

Fall time at s_{1} = Fall time at s_{2}

i.e t_{1} = t_{2} = <u>2.0 s</u>

<u>Time taken to land = 2.0 s</u>

2) Initial distance traveled (S_{1}) at initial speed s_{1} = 100 m

   Final speed s_{2} is double initial speed i.e s_{2} = 2s_{1}

Therefore, since distance traveled is directly proportional to speed,

Final distance traveled S_{2} at final speed s_{2} is double initial distance S_{1}

i.e S_{2} = 2S_{1}

    2S_{1} = 2 x 100 m = <u>200 m</u>

<u>Distance traveled = 200 m</u>

Answer:

2.0 s, 200 m

Explanation:

Time to hit the ground depends only on height.  Since the plane is at the same height, the weight lands at the same time as before, 2.0 s.

Since the plane is going twice as fast, the weight will travel twice as far (ignoring air resistance).  So it will travel a horizontal distance of 200 m.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Three types of electromagnetic waves, used to transmit various information

Explanation:

A form of energy waves having both electric & magnetic fields are Electromagnetic waves. Three types -

Radio Waves - These have longest wavelengths & transmit data through radio, satellites, radar .

Micro Waves - These have shorter wavelengths & are used in cooking appliances & predicting weather.

X rays - These have more short wavelength and can penerate soft tissues like skin & muscle, hence are used for medical examining

katovenus [111]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure its B and C

Explanation:

B bc the weight is gravitational pull x mass so when the object has same mass the weight is smaller on moon

C bc mass is the same - you can't change it

Two particles are moving along the x axis. Particle 1 has a mass m₁ and a velocity v₁ = +4.7 m/s. Particle 2 has a mass m₂ and a
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Explanation:

We can work this problem with the moment, the system is formed by the two particles

The moment is conserved, to simulate the system the particles initially move with a moment and suppose a shock where the particular that, without speed, this determines that if you center, you should be stationary, which creates a moment equal to zero

    p₀o = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

    pf = 0

    m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

    m₁ / m₂=  - (-6.2) / 4.7

     m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Another way to solve this exercise is to use the mass center relationship

    Xcm = 1/M    (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

We derive from time

   Vcm = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

As they say the velocity of the center of zero masses

    0 = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

   m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

   m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

A 0.274 kg block is pushed up a frictionless ramp inclined at angle of 32° above the horizon. The push force is a constant 2.55
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The answer is 2,416 m/s. Let's jump in.

Explanation:

We do work with the amount of energy we can transfer to objects. According to energy theory:

W = ΔE

Also as we know W = F.x

We choose our reference point as a horizontal line at the block's rest point.<u> At the rest, block doesn't have kinetic energy</u> and <u>since it is on the reference point(as we decided) it also has no potential energy.</u>

Under the force block gains;

W = F.x → W=2,55.0,71=1,8105\frac{N}{m}

In the second position block has both kinetic and potential energy. Following the law of conservation of energy;

W = ΔE = Kinetic energy + Potantial Energy

W = ΔE = \frac{1}{2} mV^{2} + mgh

Here we can find h in the triangle i draw in the picture using sine theorem;

In a triangle \frac{a}{sinA}=\frac{b}{sinB}=\frac{c}{sinC}

In our situation

\frac{0,71}{sin90} =\frac{h}{sin32} → h=0,376

Therefore

1,8105=\frac{1}{2} 0,274V^{2} +0,274.9,81.0,376

→ V=2,416
