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 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Mass of ice = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Mass of water = 200 g

c_w = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

c_{Al} = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

If an object force of 50 N is used to move an object a distance of 20 m, what distance must the object be moved if the input for
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.

Explanation:

Given data:

F_{in} = 50 \ \rm N

F_{out} = 10 \ \rm N

d_{in} = 20 \ m

Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be d_{out}.

In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.

Thus,

W_{in} = W_{out}

F_{in}.d_{in} = F_{out}.d_{out}

\Rightarrow \ d_{out} = \frac{F_{in}.d_{in}}{F_{out}}

\ d_{out} = \frac{50 \times 20}{10}

\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.

Musya8 [376]
At a particular location, when an an increase in the rate at which water moves from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere, an increase in humidity is expected at that location. The term "humidity" generally refers to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
