An airplane is sitting on a runway waiting to take off. The airplane begins to move down the runway and it takes 10 s for the ai

rplane to leave the ground. The speed of the airplane at takeoff is 40 m/s. What is the acceleration of the airplane while it is moving down the runway?

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

-- You said that the airplane has to speed up from zero ("sitting") to 40 m/s, so the change in speed is 40 m/s.

-- You said that it has to roll for 10 seconds to build up enough speed to take off, so the time for the change is 10 s .

Acceleration = (40 m/s) / (10 s)

Acceleration = (40/10) (m/s)/s

<em>Acceleration = 4 m/s²</em>

That seems like no problem.  It's only like about 41% of 1 G .  That would not even spill the drinks in First Class, or wake up the passengers who are already asleep (like me).

A farmer lifts his hay bales into the top loft of his barn by walking his horse forward with a constant velocity of 1 ft/s. Dete
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The velocity of the hay bale is - 0.5 ft/s and the acceleration is 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Constant velocity of the horse in the horizontal, v_{x} = 1 ft/s

Distance of the horse on the horizontal axis, x = 10 ft

Vertical distance, y = 20 ft

Now,

Apply Pythagoras theorem to find the length:

20^{2} + 10^{2} = l^{2}

l^{2}= 500

Now,

x^{2} + y^{2} = 500                            (1)

Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t 't':

2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0

x\frac{dx}{dt} = - y\frac{dy}{dt}

where

\frac{dx}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the horizontal

\frac{dy}{dt} = Rate of change of displacement along the vertical

v_{x} = velocity along the x-axis.

v_{y} = velocity along the y-axis

xv_{x} = -yv_{y}

v_{y} = - 10\times \frac{1}{20} = - 0.5 ft/s

|v_{y}| = 0.5\ ft/s

Acceleration of the hay bale is given by the kinematic equation:

v_{y}^{2} = u_{y} + 2ay

(-0.5)^{2} =0 + 2ay

0.25 = 2ay

\frac{0.25}{2y} = a

a = \frac{0.25}{2\times 20} = 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}

When you lift a bowling ball with a force of 61.1 N, the ball accelerates upward with an acceleration a. If you lift with a forc
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

the weight of the ball is w = 51.94 N ( mass = 5.3 kg)

Explanation:

Following Newton's second law:

net force = mass * acceleration = weight/gravity * acceleration

then denoting 1 and 2 as the first and second lift

F₁ - w= w/g *a₁

F₂ -w = w/g *a₂ = w/g * 2.07a

dividing both equations

(F₂- w)/(F₁ -w)= 2.07

(F₂- w) = 2.07 * (F₁ -w)

1.07*w = 2.07*F₁ - F₂

w = (2.07*F₁ - F₂ )/ 1.07

replacing values

w = (2.07*61.1 N - 70.9 N )/ 1.07  = 51.94 N

then the weight of the ball is w = 51.94 N ( mass = 5.3 kg)

Imagine that the ball on the left is given a nonzero initial velocity in the horizontal direction, while the ball on the right c
masya89 [10]

Answer:

vₓ = xg/2y

Explanation:

In this question, let us  find the time it takes for the ball on the right that has zero initial velocity to reach the ground.

By newton equation of motion we know that

y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

t = 2y / g

This is the time it takes for the ball on the right to reach the ground; at this time the ball on the left travels a distance

vₓ = x/t

vₓ = xg/2y

vₓ = xg/2y

Where we assume that x and y are known.

Which of the following is fact-based science rather than part of a personal belief system?
marusya05 [52]
Since there are no choices, then this question calls for open-ended answers. Facts-based science must have proven underlying laws that support inferences such as Coulomb's Law, Kinetic Theory of Matter and many more. On the other hand, examples of science that focus on personal belief is philosophy. This depends on the perspective of known philosophers. An example would be Sigmund Freud who proposed the theory of 3 personalities. Although it is more on personal beliefs, this is used as a foundation in the study of psychology.
