<h2>Answer: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
</h2>
The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation, since they flew in a device heavier than air, which was inconceivable at that time.
Their first successful flight was on December 17th, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, which lasted only 12 seconds in which their plane (the Flyer I, with 341 kg, 6.4 m long and a wingspan of 12.3 m) traveled 37 m without touching the ground. This was achieved through the help of an external catapult that "threw" them into the air.
It should be noted that the Wright brothers only studied until high school, however, their passion for solving the problem of the human inability to fly, their perseverance and experience acquired over the years in their bicycle company, led them to reach that goal. An achievement that marked the beginning of the aviation era.
consider the motion of projectile A in vertical direction :
v₀ = initial velocity of projectile A in vertical direction = 0 m/s (since the projectile was launched horizontally)
a = acceleration of the projectile = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
t = time of travel for projectile A = 3.0 seconds
Y = vertical displacement of projectile A = height of the cliff = h = ?
using the kinematics equation along the vertical direction as
Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
h = (0) (3.0) + (0.5) (9.8) (3.0)²
h = 44.1 m
Acceleration = velocity / time.
the friction force provided by the brakes is 30000 N.
<h3>What is friction force?</h3>
Friction force is the force that opposes the motion between two bodies in contact.
To calculate the average friction force provided by the brakes, we apply the formula below.
Formula:
- K.E = F'd............. Equation 1
Where:
- K.E = Kinetic energy of the train
- F' = Friction force provided by the brakes
- d = distance
Make F' the subject of the equation
- F' = K.E/d............ Equation 2
From the question,
Given:
Substitute these values into equation 2
- F' = (8.1 ×10⁶)/270
- F' = 30000 N
Hence, the friction force provided by the brakes is 30000 N
