Given :

Initial velocity, u = 12.5 m/s.

Height of camera, h = 64.3 m.

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s².

To Find :

How long does it take the camera to reach the ground.

Solution :

By equation of motion :

h = ut+\dfrac{gt^2}{2}

Putting all given values, we get :

12.5t+\dfrac{9.8t^2}{2}=64.3\\\\4.9t^2+12.5t=64.3

t = 2.56  and t = −5.116.

Since, time cannot be negative.

t = 2.56 s.

Therefore, time taken is 2.56 s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A small airplane is sitting at rest on the ground. Its center of gravity is 2.58 m behind the nose of the airplane, the front wh
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The percentage of the weight supported by the front wheel is  A= 19.82 %

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The center of gravity of the plane to its nose  is  z = 2.58 m

    The distance of the front wheel of the plane to  its nose is l = 0.800\ m

     The distance of the main wheel of the plane to its nose is e =  3.02 \ m

At equilibrium  the Torque about the nose of the airplane is mathematically represented as

          mg (z- l) -  G_B *(e - l) = 0

Where m is the mass of the airplane

          G_B is the weight of the airplane supported by the main wheel  

       So  

             G_B =\frac{mg (z-l)}{(e - l)}

Substituting values

            G_B =\frac{mg (2.58 -0.8 )}{(3.02  - 0.80)}

           G_B = 0.8018 mg

Now the weight supported at the frontal wheel is mathematically evaluated as

           G_F = mg - G_B

Substituting values      

       G_F = mg - 0.8018mg    

      G_F = (1 - 0.8018) mg      

     G_F = 0.1982 mg    

Now the weight of the airplane is  =  mg

Thus percentage of this weight supported by the front wheel is  A = 0. 1982 *100 = 19.82 %

A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 94.5 km/h except for a 22.0 min rest stop. If the person's average speed
qwelly [4]
From the average speed you can fix an equation:

Average speed = distance / time

You know the average speed = 65.1 kg / h, then

65.1 = distance / total time,

where total time is the time traveling plus 22.0 minutes

Call t the time treavelling and pass 22 minutes to hours:

65.1 = distance / [t + 22/60] ==> distance = [t + 22/60]*65.1

 
From the constant speed, you can fix a second equation

Constant speed = distance / time traveling

94.5 = distance / t ==> distance = 94.5 * t

The distance is the same in both equations, then you have:

[t +22/60] * 65.1 = 94.5 t

Now you can solve for t.

65.1t + 22*65.1/60 = 94.5t

94.5t - 65.1t = 22*65.1/60

29.4t = 23.87

t = 23.87 / 29.4

t  = 0.812 hours

distance = 94.5 km/h * 0.812 h = 76.7 km

Answers: 1) 0.81 hours, 2) 76.7 km
