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).

Class II levers like ankles and wheelbarrows are useful because they provide mechanical advantage, by amplifying the input force
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.

Explanation:

According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:

TA = W * (a * cosθ)

The torque due to effort at C point is:

TC = E * (b * cosθ)

The net torque is equal to 0, we have:

Tnet = 0

W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0

E=W\frac{a}{b}

From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W

A. Write two or three sentences to describe the conductivity of an insulator. Explain its conductivity in terms of the electrons
aliya0001 [1]

PART A)

Conductivity of insulator is very small as there is no free electrons to conduct the current trough that medium

So here number of conduction electrons are very less in insulators

PART B)

Resistance is the property of a conducting medium which will oppose the flow of current trough it

Resistance of wire directly depends on its length so resistance of long wire will be more than the resistance of short wire

Resistance inversely depends on the area so if a wire has more crossectional area then its resistance must be small

PART C)

power of light bulb is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is given by formula

P = i V

here we know that

i = 1.46 A

V = 120 volts

so power is given as

P = 1.46 \times 120

P = 175.2 Watt

A rock is stuck deep in the dirt. When you pull on the rock to remove it, what type of force are you exerting?
aleksandrvk [35]
It is Tension as the other 3 answer choices would not make sense. Compression would mean you are pressing the rock on both sides or in this case, pushing it into the dirt. It can't be nuclear force as you are pulling out a rock. Air resistance would not make sense either as there is no air involved in the scenario at all.

When a object slows down what direction is the force going?
trapecia [35]

Answer: when a object gets slowed down, it's force is either going into friction and drag, if it's on the ground, and weight+drag+friction, if it's in the air.
