Small-plane pilots regularly compete in "message drop" competitions, dropping heavy weights (for which air resistance can be ign

ored) from their low-flying planes and scoring points for having the weights land close to a target. A plane 75m above the ground is flying directly toward a target at 40m/s .
A) At what distance from the target should the pilot drop the weight?
B) The pilot looks down at the weight after she drops it. Where is the plane located at the instant the weight hits the ground?
not yet over the target
past the target
directly over the target
not enough information to determine

Answer:

a. 156.41m

b. directly over the target

Explanation:

a) At the point of release, the weight will have:

Horizontal:

velocity of 40m/s (same as the plane)

Acceleration of zero since it is not under the influence of any force.

Vertical:

initial Velocity - zero at this instant

Acceleration - Towards the ground with g (9.81m/s^2)

from newton's equation of motion, since its falling under gravity, the horizontal component wont be involved

s = ut + (1/2)at^2

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = displacement

t = time taken

75 = 0 + (1/2)(9.81)t^2

t^2=15.29

t=3.91

t = 3.91s

Applying the time of flight to the horizontal components:

Distance = speed x time

= 40 x 3.91

= 156.41m

B) The pilot looks down at the weight after she drops it. Where is the plane located at the instant the weight hits the ground?

not yet over the target

past the target

directly over the target

not enough information to determine

c. directly over the target. will be the correct answer

What is the suitable condition for the superconductivity and high resista (a) Weak phonon-phonon interactions (b) No interaction
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(d) A strong electron-phonon interaction

Explanation:

Superconductivity -

The phenomenon of superconductivity is due to the attractive force between electrons from the exchange of the phonons that cause the bound pair of electrons known as cooper pairs .

A strong electron -phonon intercation is suitable condition for superconductivity and high resistance .

Boxes A and B are being pulled to the right on a frictionless surface. Box A has a larger mass than B. How do the two tension fo
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Tension T1 is less than tension T2.

T1 < T2

Explanation:

According to given data,

mass of box A ( mA) is grater than mass of box B (mB)

we can write,

m(A) > m(B)

Newton's second law states that:

Tension of object is directly proportional to the mass of the system.

T ∝ m

here Boxes A and B are being pulled to the right on a frictionless surface,

so Tension T1 generates due to the mass of box A m(A)

and Tension T2 arises due to mass of the system m(A) + m(B)

Thus tension T1 will be less than tension T2

T1 < T2
