The Special Olympics raises money through "plane pull" events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 k

g airplane 3.7 m across the tarmac. The inertia of the plane is an issue--but so is the 14,000 N rolling friction force that works against the teams. If a team pulls with a constant force, and thus a constant acceleration, and moves the plane 3.7 m in 6.1 s (an excellent time),a. What force does the team pull with?b. What is the speed of the plane at the end of the pull?c. What fraction of the teamâs work goes to kinetic energy of the plane?

Answer:

28716.4740661 N

1.2131147541 m/s

51.2474965841%

Explanation:

m = Mass of plane = 74000 kg

s = Displacement = 3.7 m

f = Frictional force = 14000 N

t = Time taken = 6.1 s

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 3.7=0\times 6.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.7\times 2}{6.1^2}\\\Rightarrow a=0.198871271164\ m/s^2

Force is given by

F=ma+f\\\Rightarrow F=74000\times 0.198871271164+14000\\\Rightarrow F=28716.4740661\ N

The force with which the team pulls the plane is 28716.4740661 N

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.198871271164\times 6.1\\\Rightarrow v=1.2131147541\ m/s

The speed of the plane is 1.2131147541 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74000\times 1.2131147541^2\\\Rightarrow K=54450.9540448\ J

Work done is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=28716.4740661\times 3.7\\\Rightarrow W=106250.954045\ J

The fraction is given by

\dfrac{54450.9540448}{106250.954045}=0.512474965841

The teams 51.2474965841% of the work goes to kinetic energy of the plane.

sveta [45]

Answer:

It covers distance of 9.15 football fields in the said time.

Explanation:

We know that

Distance=Speed\times Time

Thus distance covered in blinking of eye =

Distance=7.6\times 10^{3}m/s\times 110\times 10^{-3}s\\\\Distance=836 meters

Thus no of football fields=\frac{936}{91.4}=9.15Fields

A 45-mH inductor is connected in series with a 60-Ω resistor through a 15-V dc power supply and a switch. If the switch is close
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The current is 0.248 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductor L= 45\times10^{3}\ H

Resistance R= 60\Omega

Voltage = 15 volt

Time t =7.0\times10^{-3}\ sec

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

I=\dfrac{V}{R}(1-e^{\dfrac{-R}{L}}t)

Where, V = voltage

R = resistance

L = inductance

T = time

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{15}{60}(1-e^{\dfrac{-60}{45\times10^{3}}}\times7\times10^{-3})

I=0.248\ A

Hence, The current is 0.248 A.

Physics Homework
katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

a. Average speed = distance / time

= 100 m / 70 s

= 1.43 m/s

b. Average displacement = displacement / time

= 0 m / 70 s

= 0 m/s

Distance is the length of the path traveled.  Displacement is the difference between the final position and initial position.
