Answer:

0.45 s.

Explanation:

From Newton's equation of motion,

s = ut + 1/2gt²........................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, t = time

Given: s = 1.0 m, u = 0 m/s (dropped from height), g = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting into equation 1,

1 = 0(t) + 1/29.81(t²)

1 = 9.81t²/2

2 = 9.81t²

t² = 2/9.81

t² = 0.204

t = √(0.204)

t = 0.45 s.

Hence it takes 0.45 s for the book to reach the elevator floor.

A jet aircraft is traveling at 262 m/s in horizontal flight. The engine takes in air at a rate of 85.9 kg/s and burns fuel at a
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

F_T=60132.52N

P=15814852.76W

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Velocity of aircraft  V=263m/s

Engine air intake rate \triangle M_a=85.9kg/s

Fuel burn rate  \triangle M_f =3.92kg/s

Velocity of exhaust gas V_e =921m/s

Generally the Mass change rate of Rocket is mathematically given by

 \triangle M = \triangle M_a+\triangle M_f

 \triangle M= 85.9+3.92

 \triangle M=89.82kg/s

Generally the Trust of the rocket is given mathematically by

 F_T=(\triangle M *V_e)-(dM_a/dt)*(V)

 F_T=(89.82 *921)-(85.9)*(263)

 F_T=60132.52N

Generally the Rocket's delivered power is mathematically given by

Delivered power P

 P=V*F_T

 P=263*60132.52N

 P=15814852.76W.
