An airplane moves through the air at a constant speed. The engines’ thrust applies a force in the direction of motion, and this

force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the drag force. Reducing thrust will cause the plane to fly at a slower—but still constant—speed. Explain why this is so.

lord [1]3 years ago

Explanation:

This is because the drag force suffered by the aircraft is proportional to the speed at which it travels. The thrust of the engines prints a speed to the plane and this speed prints a drag force, always reaching an equilibrium point of these two forces where the speed of the plane is constant and the acceleration is equal to zero.

Therefore, by reducing the thrust, the drag force is greater and the plane begins to decrease its speed, until it reaches the point where the new drag force is matched with the new thrust force, giving it a new final speed , without acceleration.

Answer:

current going into a junction in a circuit is EQUAL TO the current comming out of the junction.

Explanation:

Krichhoff's Current Law

Kirchhoff's current law (1st Law) states that current flowing into a node (or a junction) must be equal to current flowing out of it.

A 35.9 g mass is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 18.4 N/m and released from rest with an amplitude of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

7.74m/s

Explanation:

Mass = 35.9g = 0.0359kg

A = 39.5cm = 0.395m

K = 18.4N/m

At equilibrium position, there's total conservation of energy.

Total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy

Total Energy = K.E + P.E

½KA² = ½mv² + ½kx²

½KA² = ½(mv² + kx²)

KA² = mv² + kx²

Collect like terms

KA² - Kx² = mv²

K(A² - x²) = mv²

V² = k/m (A² - x²)

V = √(K/m (A² - x²) )

note x = ½A

V = √(k/m (A² - (½A)²)

V = √(k/m (A² - A²/4))

Resolve the fraction between A.

V = √(¾. K/m. A² )

V = √(¾ * (18.4/0.0359)*(0.395)²)

V = √(0.75 * 512.53 * 0.156)

V = √(59.966)

V = 7.74m/s

A sphere of volume 1.20×10−3m3 hangs from a cable. When the sphere is completely submerged in water, the tension in the cable is
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B = 62.9 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise on Archimedes' principle, where the thrust force equals the weight of the  liquid

         B = ρ g V

write the equilibrium equation

         T + B -W = 0

         B = W- T               (1)

use the density to write the weight

         ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

         W = ρ g V

substitute in  1

         B = m g -T

         B = \rho_{body} g V - T

To finish the calculation, the density of the material must be known, suppose it is steel  \rho_{body} = 7850 kg / m³

calculate

         B = 7850 9.8 1.20 10⁻³ - 29.4

          B = 92.3 - 29.4

          B = 62.9 N

Two identical resistors connected in series have an equivalent resistance of 4 ohms. The same two resistors, when connected in p
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1 ohm

Explanation:

since there are two identical resistors, one resistor will be

R = \frac{4}{2} =2ohm [ proven as in series R_{e} = 2 + 2 = 4ohm ]

to calculate the equivalent resistance when in parallel:

\frac{1}{R_{e} }  = \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2}}

so,

\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

R_{e} = 1ohm
