Dump Tower is 96 stories tall. A small, 1.2-kg object is dropped over the side of the roof of the tower and accelerates toward t

he ground. The mass of the planet housing Dump Tower is 2.7 times the mass of Ganymede and the radius of the body is 1.7 times the radius of Makemake. You will track the object for its entire fall. Each story of this tower is 3.05 meters tall.
How many seconds will it take the object to reach the ground and what will be its impact speed with the ground?

The ball will not drop until your submit your answers.

Answer:

The time taken by the object to reach the ground, t = 25.04 / √gₓ

The final velocity of the object, v = 23.39 √gₓ

Explanation:

Given data,

The height of the Dump Tower, h = 96 x 3.05

= 292.8 m

The mass of the planet housing Dump Tower, M = 2.7 mₓ

The radius of the planet housing Dump Tower, R = 1.7 rₐ

The acceleration due to the gravity of the planet is,

g = GM/R²

= 2.7 Gmₓ / (1.7 rₐ)²

= 0.934 Gmₓ/rₐ²

g = 0.934 gₓ

Using the II equations of motion,

S = ut + ½ gt²

= 0 + ½ (0.934 gₓ) t²

t = √(2S/ 0.934 gₓ)

= √(2 x 292.8/ 0.934 gₓ)

t = 25.04 / √gₓ

Hence, the time taken by the object to reach the ground, t = 25.04 / √gₓ

Using the I equations of motion

v = u + gt

= 0 + 0.934 gₓ (25.04 / √gₓ)

v = 23.39 √gₓ

Hence, the final velocity of the object, v = 23.39 √gₓ

For the airfoil and conditions in Problem 2.2, calculate the lift-to-drag ratio. Comment on its magnitude.

raketka [301]

Answer:

L/D= 112

Explanation:

Aerodynamics can be defined as the branch of dynamics which deals with the motion of air, their properties and the interaction between the air and solid bodies.

Aerodynamics law explains how an airplane is able to fly. There are four forces of flight, and they are; lift, weight, thrust and drag. The amount of lift generated by a wing divided by the aerodynamic drag is known as the lift to drag ratio.

Lift increases proportionally to the square of the speed.

The solutions to the question is the file attached to this explanation.

Lift,L= qC(l). S---------------------------(1).

and,

Drag,D = qC(d).S ----------------------(2).

Hence, Lift to drag ratio,L/D= C(l)/C(d).

Therefore, we have to compute various angle of attack.(check attached file)...

Then, (L/D) will then be equal to 112.

What are (a) the energy of a photon corresponding to wavelength 6.0 nm, (b) the kinetic energy of an electron with de Broglie wa

dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.0 nm

de Broglie wavelength = 6.0 nm

(a). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-9}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-17}\ J$

(b). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-9})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-21}\ J$

(c). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-15}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-11}\ J$

(d). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-15})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-9}\ J$

Hence, This is the required solution.

a child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0seconds. What is the velocity if the ball the instant befo

fredd [130]

Terminal velocity (Maximum velocity) is 9.8 meters a second. m/s.

If you wanted the exact answer, you would need the distance from the window to the ground; and than divide by 3.0. Otherwise, 9.8 meters a second would be your best bet.
