This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

An airplane is flying at a speed of 200 m/s in level flight at an altitude of 800 m. A package is to be dropped from the airplan

MArishka [77]

Answer:

2560m or 2.56km (rounded to 3 significant figures)

Explanation:

First, list all known and desired values/variables (initial vertical velocity is 0 as the plane is kept level and vertical acceleration is just gravity):

$Vertical \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) = u_{v} = 0 \\\\ Horizontal \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) = u_{h} = 200\\\\ Vertical \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) = a_{v} = 9.8 \\\\ Horizontal \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) = a_{h} = 0 \\\\ Vertical \ displacement \ (m) = s_{v} = 800 \\\\ Horizontal \ displacement \ (m) = s_{h}$

The horizontal displacement is going to be the distance travelled, horizontally of course, once the package is released;

First thing to understand is that the vertical and horizontal components are to be dealt with separately because they don't affect each other;

Since there is no horizontal acceleration (ignoring air resistance), we simply require a velocity and time to find the horizontal displacement, using the formula v = d/t (or speed = distance/time);

What we have is the horizontal velocity but we don't have the time taken;

One thing we know is that the time elapsed for the vertical fall of 800m and for the horizontal displacement must be the same;

What we do, therefore, is find the time taken for the vertical displacement using the formula, s = ut + ¹/₂·at², since we know the vertical velocity, height and acceleration:

800 = (0)t + ¹/₂·(9.8)t²

800 = 4.9t²

t² = 163.26...

t = 12.77...

We now have the time taken for the vertical fall and the horizontal displacement, we can use this with the horizontal velocity we know already and get the horizontal displacement:

$u_{h} = \frac{s_{h} }{t} \\\\ 200 = \frac{s_{h} }{12.77...} \\\\ s_{h} = 200(12.77...) \\\\ s_{h} = 2555.5...$

Skater begins to spend with arms held out at shoulder height. The skater wants to match the speed of the spin to the beat of the

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment

I₀/I > 1 ⇒ w > w₀

Explanation:

The angular momentum is conserved if the external torques in the system are zero, this is achieved because the friction with the ice is very small,

L₀ = L_f

I₀ w₀ = I w

w = $\frac{I_o}{I}$ w₀

where we see that the angular velocity changes according to the relation of the angular moments, if we approximate the body as a cylinder with two point charges, weight of the arms

I₀ = I_cylinder + 2 m r²

where r is the distance from the center of mass of the arms to the axis of rotation, the moment of inertia of the cylinder does not change, therefore changing the distance of the arms changes the moment of inertia.

If we say that the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment will be

I <I₀

I₀/I > 1 ⇒ w > w₀

therefore the angular velocity (rotations) must increase

in this way the skater can adjust his spin speed to the musician.
