how do you isolate t (time) in this equation? the question is asking me to derive an equation for time to hit the ground for a d

ropped object in terms of height of the drop, gravity, and initial velocity and that’s what i have so far.

Fine, so we have the equation

S = So + Vo.t + at²/2

We have the final height = 0 and since its dropped, Vo = 0, our a will be the gravity, negative since its falling

0 = So + 0.t - gt²/2

0 = So - gt²/2

Since So is our h, lets change the letter

0 = h - gt²/2

gt²/2 = h

gt² = 2h

t² = 2h/g

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

a paper airplane gliding down towards the ground will experience the force of air resistance pushing up. the weight of the paper
Oduvanchick [21]

The net force acting on the airplane is 25N.

Forces acting on the paper airplane when it is in the air:

  • The forward force generated by the engine, propeller, or rotor is called thrust. It resists or defeats the drag force. It operates generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. However, as will be discussed later, this is not always the case.
  • Drag is an airflow disruption generated by the wing, rotor, fuselage, and other projecting surfaces that causes a backward, decelerating force. Drag acts backward and perpendicular to the relative wind, opposing thrust.
  • Weight is the total load carried by airplane, including the weight of the crew, fuel, and any cargo or baggage. Due to the influence of gravity, weight pulls the airplane downward.
  • Lift—acts perpendicular to the flight path through the center of lift and opposes the weight's downward force. It is produced by the air's dynamic influence on the airfoil.

Given.

Weight of the paper airplane, F1 = 16N

The force of air resistance, F2 = 9N

Net force = F1 + F2

Net force = 25N

Thus, the net force acting on the airplane is 25N.

A driver is traveling eastward on a dirt road when she spots a pothole ahead. She slows her car from 14.0 m/s to 5.5 m/s in 6.0
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

- 1.42m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity of a body with respect to time.

Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity/time

Since she slows her car from 14.0 to 5.5m/s in 6seconds,

Initial velocity = 14m/s

Final velocity = 5.5m/s

Time = 6seconds

Substituting in the given formula, we will have

Acceleration = 5.5 - 14/6

Acceleration = - 8.5/6

Acceleration = - 1.42m/s²

The negative acceleration shows that the car decelerates.

If a 10,000 g mass is suspended from a rope, what is the tensile force in the rope?
nadezda [96]

To solve this problem we will apply Newton's second law and the principle of balancing Forces on the rope. Newton's second law allows us to define the weight of the mass, through the function

F = ma\rightarrow F =mg

Here,

m = mass

a = g = Gravitational acceleration

Replacing we have that the weight is

W= (10kg)(9.8)

W = 98N

Since the rope is taut and does not break, the net force on the rope will be zero.

\sum F = 0

T-W = 0

T = W

T = 98N

Therefore the tensile force in the rope is 98N
