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

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

How much energy in Joules (J) would an electric heater that draws 9.5 A when connected to a 120 V supply use if the heater were
leonid [27]
<h2>Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J</h2>

Explanation:

Energy = Power x Time

Power = Voltage x Current

Voltage = 120 V

Current = 9.5 A

Power = Voltage x Current

Power = 120 x 9.5 = 1140 W

Time = 2 hours = 2 x 60 x 60 = 7200 s

Energy = Power x Time

Energy = 1140 x 7200

Energy = 8208000 J

Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J

An airplane takes off a runway at a constant speed of 49m/s at constant angle 30 to the horizontal
joja [24]

Complete Question

An airplane takes off a runway at a constant speed of 49 m/s at constant angle 30 to the horizontal.How high (in meters )  is the airplane above the ground 13 seconds after takeoff?

Answer:

The height  is H  =  318.5 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at which the plane takes off is  u = 49 \ m/s

      The angle at which it takes off is  \theta  =  30 ^o

        The time taken is t =  13  s

The vertical distance traveled is  mathematically represented as

          H  =  u sin  \theta  t

Substituting values  

         H  =  (49) * sin (30) *13

        H  =  318.5 \ m

A 60-kg rollerblader rolls 10 m down a 30? incline. When she reaches the level floor at the bottom, she applies the brakes. The
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

s = 20 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the roller blader = 60 Kg

length = 10 m

inclines at = 30°

coefficient of friction = 0.25

using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 = m g d sin \theta

u^2 = 2 g d sin30^0

u= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 10 sin30^0}

u = 9.89 m/s

Using second law of motion  

ma =μ mg

a = μ g

a = 0.25 x 9.8

a = 2.45 m/s²

Using third equation of motion ,  

v² - u² = 2 a s

0² - 9.89² = 2 x 2.45 x s

s = 20 m

the distance moved before stopping is 20 m

At a certain instant, coil A is in a 10-T external magnetic field and coil B is in a 1-T external magnetic field. Both coils hav
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A) coil A

Explanation:

According to Faraday, Induced emf is given as;

E.M.F = ΔФ/t

ΔФ = BACosθ

where;

ΔФ  is change in magnetic flux

θ is the angle between the magnetic field, B, and the normal to the loop of area A

A is the area of the loop

B is the magnetic field

From the equation above, induced emf depends on the strength of the magnetic field.

Both coils have the same area and are oriented at right angles to the field.

Coil A has a magnetic field strength of 10-T which is greater than 1 T of coil B, thus, coil A will have a greater emf induced in it.

Singly charged gas ions are accelerated from rest through a voltage of 10.3 V. At what temperature (in K) will the average kinet
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Temperature of the gas molecules is 7.96 x 10⁴ K

Explanation:

Given :

Ions accelerated through voltage, V = 10.3 volts

The work done to change the position of singly charged gas ions is given by the relation :

W = q x V

Here q is charge of the ions and its value is 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

Average kinetic energy of gas molecules is given by the relation:

K.E. = \frac{3}{2}kT

Here T is temperature and k is Boltzmann constant and its value is 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K.

According to the problem, the average kinetic energy of gas is equal to the work done to move the singly charged ions, i.e. ,

K.E. = W

\frac{3}{2}kT = qV

Rearrange the above equation in terms of T :

T= \frac{2qV}{3k}

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

T=\frac{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times10.3 }{3\times1.38\times10^{-23} }

T = 7.96 x 10⁴ K
