A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie

ve a positive velocity and positive acceleration, what is the most sensible way to set up her coordinate system?

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.

A jet transport with a landing speed of 200 km/h reduces its speed to 60 km/h with a negative thrust R from its jet thrust rever
Amanda [17]

Answer:

257 kN.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information in the following questions;

=> "A jet transport with a landing speed

= 200 km/h reduces its speed to = 60 km/h with a negative thrust R from its jet thrust reversers"

= > The distance = 425 m along the runway with constant deceleration."

=> "The total mass of the aircraft is 140 Mg with mass center at G. "

We are also give that the "aerodynamic forces on the aircraft are small and may be neglected at lower speed"

Step one: determine the acceleration;

=> Acceleration = 1/ (2 × distance along runway with constant deceleration) × { (landing speed A)^2 - (landing speed B)^2 × 1/(3.6)^2.

=> Acceleration = 1/ (2 × 425) × (200^2 - 60^2) × 1/(3.6)^2 = 3.3 m/s^2.

Thus, "the reaction N under the nose wheel B toward the end of the braking interval and prior to the application of mechanical braking" = The total mass of the aircraft × acceleration × 1.2 = 15N - (9.8 × 2.4 × 140).

= 140 × 3.3× 1.2 = 15N - (9.8 × 2.4 × 140).

= 257 kN.

Un recipiente contiene 224 dm3 de Ozono de masa 4.561 Kg a 51.09 grados celsius. Calcula la presión del Ozono
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Por lo tanto, la presión del ozono es:

P=0.011\: atm  

Explanation:

Podemos usar la ecuacion de los gases ideales;

PV=nRT (1)

Tenemos:

El volumen V = 224 dm³ = 224 L

La temperatura T = 51.09 C = 324.09 K

La masa es m = 4.561 kg

Lo necesitamos ahora es calvular n que es el numero de moles;

recordemos que el peso molecular del ozono M = 48 g/mol.

n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{4.561}{48}=0.095\: mol

Finalmente, usando la ecuacion 1 despejamos la presion P

P=\frac{nRT}{V}

P=\frac{0.095*0.082*324.09}{224}  

Por lo tanto, la presion del ozono es:

P=0.011\: atm  

Espero te haya ayudado!
