A plane traveling horizontally at 120 ​m/s over flat ground at an elevation of 3610 m must drop an emergency packet on a target

on the ground. The trajectory of the packet is given by xequals 120​t, yequals minus4.9tsquaredplus3610​, for tgreater than or equals ​0, where the origin is the point on the ground directly beneath the plane at the moment of the release. How many horizontal meters before the target should the packet be released in order to hit the​ target? Set up an equation involving t that could be solved in order to find out how long it takes the packet to reach the ground after being released.

Answer:

x=3257.143\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • horizontal velocity of the plane,
  • elevation of the plane,

Trajectory of the packet is given by:

x=120.t ...........................(1)

y=-4.9.t^2+3610 ...................(2)

<u>According to given at ground level we have y = 0.</u>

Putting this condition in eq. (2)

0=-4.9.t^2+3610

t=27.14\ s

<u>Now the horizontal distance travelled by the plane in the above time:</u>

(Due to inertia of motion the packet will also travel the same distance horizontally from the point where it is dropped.)

x=120\times 27.14

x=3257.143\ m is the horizontal distance from the target on the earth before which the packet must be released in order to reach there.

Answer:

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement

x = 120 t

Vertical position

y = 3610 - 4.9 t²

y = 0 for the ground

0 = 3610 - 4.9 t²

t = 27.14 s

This is the time it will take to reach the ground .

During this period , horizontal displacement

x = 120 x 27.14 m

= 3256.8 m

So packet should be released 3256.8 m before the target.

Which tool would you use to measure the amount of rainfall? a. graduated cylinder b. stopwatch c. scale d. thermometer
Fittoniya [83]

A graduated cylinder measures the volume of a liquid.

A stopwatch measures the amount of time that elapses.

A scale measures the mass of objects.

A thermometer measures the temperature of any object.

Because we are measuring rain, a liquid, we would want to use a tool that would allow us to collect the rain for measuring. Therefore, the tool e would use to measure the amount of rainfall would be A. a graduated cylinder.

To test the quality of a tennis ball, you drop it onto a floor from a height of 4.00m . It rebounds to a height of 2.00 m. If th
Agata [3.3K]
In this problem, we apply the equation regarding  kinematics  expressed as  vf^2 = v0^2 + 2as  vf eventually becomes zero because the ball stops in the end. a = -9.8 m/s2s = 2 metres this time 
This gives initial velocity, vo equal to 6.26m/s 
now 6.26-(-8.85) = 15.11m/s 

change in velocity/change in time = average acceleration 15.11/(12/1000) = 1259.167 m/s^2

A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the lizard’s average acceleration?
frutty [35]

Answer:

2m/s²

Explanation:

Subtract the initial speed from the final, and divide it by 4

a =  \frac{10 - 2}{4}  =  \frac{8}{4}  = 2 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }

An electron in the n=7 level of the hydrogen atom relaxes to a lower energy level, emitting light of 1005 nm. Part A What is the
matrenka [14]

Answer:

rom level n = 7 to level n = 3

Explanation:

Bohr's model describes the energy levels for the hydrogen atom

         En = -13.606 / n²

Where n is an integer with values ​​of 1, 2, 3

An electronic transition occurs between two permitted levels of energy

        ΔE =E_{nf} -E_{no}

Let's apply these relationships our problem.

Let's start by knowing the energy of level n = 7

       E₇ = - 13.606 / 7²

       E₇ = - 0.27767 eV

Now let's see what the energy of the emitted photon

       E = h f

       c = λ f

       f = c / λ

       E = h c / λ

       E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1005 10⁻⁹

       E = 19,791 10⁻²⁰ J

Let's reduce to eV

       E = 19,791 10⁻²⁰ (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹)

       E = 1,237 eV

The possible transitions from this level are towards n = 6, 5, 4,3,2, 1

We must test the different values ​​until we find the right one

Energy of the states

n        E_{n}

6       -0.378

5       -0.544

4       -0.850

3       -1,512

2       -3,402

1      -13,606

Let's examine the transition n = 7 to n = 6

      ΔE = - 0.27767 - (-0.3779)

     ΔE = 0.10023 eV

n = 7 to n = 5

     ΔE = -0.27767 - (-0.5442)

     ΔE = 0.267 eV

n = 7 a n = 4

     ΔE = -0.27767- (-0.8504)

     ΔE = 0.573 eV

n = 7 a n = 3

     ΔE = -0.27767 - (- 1.5118)

     ΔE = 1.234 Ev

This is the transition sought, so that the electron goes from level n = 7 to level n = 3
