Answer:

a

D =  1162.7 \  m

b

\beta =- 65.55^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The speed of the airplane is  u  =  92.3 \ m/s

   The  angle is  \theta = 51.1^o

    The altitude of the plane is  d =  532 \  m

Generally the y-component of the airplanes velocity is  

       u_y  =  v *  sin (\theta )

=>     u_y  =   92.3 *  sin ( 51.1 )

=>     u_y  =  71.83  \ m/s

Generally the displacement  traveled by the package in the vertical direction is

       d =  (u_y)t +  \frac{1}{2}(-g)t^2

=>       -532  = 71.83 t +  \frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2

Here the negative sign for the distance show that the direction is along the negative y-axis

 =>   4.9t^2 - 71.83t - 532 = 0

Solving this using quadratic formula we obtain that

    t =  20.06 \  s

Generally the x-component of the velocity is  

     u_x  =  u  *  cos (\theta)

=>    u_x  =   92.3  *  cos (51.1)

=>   u_x  =   57.96 \ m/s

Generally the distance travel in the horizontal  direction is    

     D =  u_x  *  t

=>   D =  57.96  *   20.06

=>    D =  1162.7 \  m

Generally the angle of the velocity vector relative to the ground is mathematically represented as

       \beta  =  tan ^{-1}[\frac{v_y}{v_x } ]

Here v_y is the final  velocity of the package along the vertical  axis and this is mathematically represented as  

     v_y  =  u_y  -   gt

=>  v_y  =  71.83  -    9.8 *  20.06

=>  v_y  =  -130.05 \  m/s  

and  v_x is the final  velocity of the package which is equivalent to the initial velocity u_x

So

       \beta  =  tan ^{-1}[-130.05}{57.96 } ]

       \beta =- 65.55^o

The negative direction show that it is moving towards the south east direction

How long does it take for a 3.5 kW electric water heater to heat 40 kg of water? from 20 ° C to 75 ° C? The specific heat capaci
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

2633.7 s

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the water heater = Heat gained by the water

Applying,

P = cm(t₂-t₁)/t.................. Equation 1

Where P = power of the heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: c = 4190 J/kgK, P = 3.5 kW = 3500 W, m = 40 kg, t₁ = 20°C, t₂ = 75°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = 4190×40(75-20)/3500

t = 9218000/3500

t = 2633.7 s

Bruno the bat flies at a speed of 0.5 m/s in circle of radius 1 m. What is his acceleration?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Acceleration is 0.25m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed = 0.5m/s

Radius(r) of circle = 1m

Acceleration round a circular path is given as :

a = v^2 / r

Where

a = acceleration of the body

v = speed / velocity

r = radius

Therefore,

a = v^2 / r

a = (0.5)^2 / 1

a = 0.25m/s^2

Does gravity hold things together?
mariarad [96]
  <span>Gravity is an attractive force. All masses exert gravity, so matter pull toward each other. However, it is only significant when the masses are large, like that of Earth.  Exactly what causes gravity still remains a mystery. Since all the other three fundamental forces (strong, weak, and electromagnetic) are caused by particles called bosons, some scientists think that gravity is caused by particles called the graviton. However, such a particle has not yet been observed, and its existence has not been proven yet. 
Also, gravity does not hold EVERYTHING together, as another person has already mentioned. Static electricity holds your socks together after they come out of the dryer, not gravity. Also, gravity is too weak to hold together, say, the nucleus of atoms, or even atoms of molecules together.</span>
