Answer:

The average acceleration is 8.06 m/s².

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the jet, u = 120 mph = 176 ft/s

Final velocity of the jet, v = 30 mph = 44 ft/s

Distance, d = 1800 ft

We need to find the average acceleration required of the airplane during braking. It can be calculated using third law of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ad

a = acceleration

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}

a=\dfrac{(44\ ft/s)^2-(176\ ft/s)^2}{2\times 1800\ ft}

a=-8.06\ ft/s^2

So, the average acceleration required of the airplane during braking is -8.06 ft/s². Hence, this is the required solution.

A boy takes hold of a rope to pull a wagon (m = 50 kg) on a surface with a static coefficient of friction μS = 0.25. Calculate t
vivado [14]

Answer:

<em>The force that would be applied on the rope just to start moving the wagon is 122 N</em>

Explanation:

Frictional force opposes motion between two surfaces in contact. It is the force that must be applied before a body starts to move. Static friction  opposes the motion of two bodies that are in contact but are not moving. The magnitude of static friction to overcome for the body to move  can be calculated using equation 1.

F = μ x mg .............................. 1

where F is the frictional force;

          μ is the coefficient of friction ( μs, in this case, static friction);

          m  is mass of the object and;

          g is the acceleration due to gravity( a constant equal to 9.81 m/s^{2})

from the equation we are provide with;

       μs  = 0.25

       m = 50 kg

       g =  9.81 m/s^{2}

      F =?

Using equation 1

F = 0.25 x 50 kg x  9.81 m/s^{2}

F = 122.63 N  

<em>Therefore a force of 122 N must be applied to the rope just to start the wagon.</em>

A basketball referee tosses the ball straight up for the starting tip-off. At what velocity (in m/s) must a basket ball player l
mamaluj [8]

Answer:4.93 m/s

Explanation:

Given

height to reach is (h )1.24 m

here Let initial velocity is u

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2ah

here Final Velocity v=0

a=acceleration due to gravity

0-u^2=2\left ( -g\right )h

u=\sqrt{2gh}

u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.24}

u=\sqrt{24.328}

u=4.93 m/s

Aunt Matilda goes to a well and throws a penny straight down the well at 3.0 m/s. She hears a splash after 0.5 seconds. How deep
nevsk [136]

Answer : The correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explanation :

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance or height = ?

u = initial velocity  = 3.0 m/s

t = time = 0.5 s

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

s=(3.0m/s)\times (0.5s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (0.5s)^2

s=2.73m

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 2.73 m

The elements selenium and oxygen are both poor electrical conductors. In which section of the periodic table are they
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Nonmetals

Explanation:

Nonmetals   they are bad conductors of heat and electricity except graphite.

Metalloids   they are less conductors of electricity than metals.

Noble gases  they conduct electricity.

Halogens they are not metals and do not conduct electricity.

From this information, we conclude that Oxygen and Selenium are nonmetals.
