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 120t, 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.

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

0.6375 m/s

Explanation:

Let x be the distance of the man from the building

from the figure attached

initially the value of x=12

Given:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$

where the negative sign depicts that the distance of the man from the building is decreasing.

Now, Let The length of the shadow be = y

we have to calculate $\frac{dy}{dt}$ when x=4

from the similar triangles

we have,

$\frac{2}{12-x}=\frac{y}{12}$

or

$y=\frac{24}{12-x}$

Differentiating with respect to time 't' we get

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{-dx}{dt}$

or

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{dx}{dt}$

Now for x = 4, and $\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$ we have,

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-4}^2\times (-1.7)$

or

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-0.6375m/s$

<u>here, the negative sign depicts the decrease in length and in the question it is asked the decreasing rate thus, the answer is </u><u>0.6375m/s</u>

You have gas in a container with a movable piston. The walls of the container are thin enough so that its temperature stays the

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

New pressure of the gas increases by 26.5% with respect to initial pressure, new volume decreases 27% with respect to initial volume and new temperature decreases 8% with respect to initial volume.

Explanation:

If we assume the gas is a perfect gas we can use the perfect gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

For Isothermal process:

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$ (1)

Where subscripts 1 shows before the isothermal process and 2 after it, because isothermal means constant temperature T1=T2, and pressure increases by 10% means P2=1,1*P1, using these facts on (1) we have:

$V_{2}=\frac{V_{1}}{1.1}$ (2)

For Isobaric process:

$\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}=\frac{P_{3}V_{3}}{T_{3}}$ (3)

Where subscripts 2 shows before the isobaric process and 3 after it, because isobaric means constant pressure P2=P3, and volume decreases by 20% means V3=0.8*V2, using these facts on (3) we have:

$T_{3}=0.8T_{2}$ (4)

For Isochoric process:

$\frac{P_{3}V_{3}}{T_{3}}=\frac{P_{4}V_{4}}{T_{4}}$ (5)

Where subscripts 3 shows before the isochoric process and 4 after it, because isochoric means constant volume V3=V4, and temperature increases by 15% means T4=1.15*T3, using these facts on (5) we have:

$P_{4}=1.15P_{3}$ (6)

So now because P4=1.15*P3, P2=P3 and P2=1.1*P1:

$P_{4}=1.15*1.1P_{1}=1.265P1$

This is, the new pressure of the gas increases by 26.5% with respect to initial pressure.

Similarly, we have V3=V4, V3=0.8*V2 and V1=1,1*V2:

$V_{4}=\frac{0.8}{1.1}V_{1}=0.72V1$

so the final volume decreases 27% with respect to initial volume.

T4=1,15*T3, T3=0.8*T2 and T1=T2:

$T_{4}=1.15*0.8T_{1}=0.92T1$

The new temperature decreases 8% with respect to initial volume.

Two technicians are discussing a problem where the brake pedal travels too far before the vehicle starts to slow. Technician A s

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

If Technician B was correct, and the master cylinder is defective - then no braking action would occur.

This is not true however, as some breaking action eventually occurs, meaning it must be out of adjustment.

What is the acceleration of a 10kg mass pushed by a 5N force?

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

<h2>0.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

From the question we have

$a = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \\ = 0.5$

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.5 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
