A Plane crashes into the side of a mountain. If the crash took place over 9

Physics
1 answer:
Julli [10]3 years ago
6 0

Given parameters:

Duration of crash = 9min

Velocity before crash = 2000 yards per second

Unknown:

Acceleration of the plane = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the change of velocity with time.

  Acceleration  = \frac{V - U}{t}

where v is the final velocity

          u is the initial velocity

          t is the time taken

We need to convert the time into seconds from min;

                      60s  = 1 min

                                So, 9min = 60 x 9 = 540s

So input the parameters and solve;

                  Acceleration = \frac{2000 - 0 }{540}  = 3.7yards/s²

The acceleration of the plane is 3.7yards/s²

Explain how it is that you could have 2 parents with brown eyes, but you have blue eyes. Talk about the role chromosomes, genoty
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

If both parents had a recessive allele for blue eyes and they had a brown phenotype it is completely possible for the child to have blue eyes.

Explanation:

Chromosomes play the role of transfering the encoded strands of DNA to the child. Genotypes are the traits or groups of traits transferred and need to carry the trait of blue eyes in order for the child to have them. As long as the parents had a recessive allele for blue eyes they could have a blue eyed child.

Light takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth, and the speed of light is 3.0×10^8 m/s. a) What is the orbital speed of the Earth arou
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

(a) 28690 m/s (b) 2.46x10^{33}J

Explanation:

The orbital speed is define as:

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}   (1)

Where r is the radius of the trajectory and T is the orbital period.

To determine the orbital speed of the Earth it is necessary to know the orbital period and the radius of the trajectory. That can be done by means of the Kepler's third law and average velocity equation.

The average velocity in a Uniform Rectilinear Motion is defined as:

v = \frac{d}{t}   (2)

Where v is the velocity, d is the covered distance and t is the time.

Equation 2 can be rewritten for d to get:

d = vt   (3)

In this case, v will be the speed of light and t, the 8 minutes that takes to reach the Earth.

The time will be converted to seconds so the units in equation 3 can match:

8min . \frac{60s}{1min} ⇒  480s

t = 480s

Replacing all those values in equation 3 it is gotten:

d = (3.0x10^{8}m/s)(480s)

d = 1.44x10^{11}m

Kepler’s third law is defined as:

T^{2} = r^{3}

Where T is orbital period and r is the radius of the trajectory.

T = \sqrt{r^{3}}

T = \sqrt{(1.44x10^{11}m)^{3}}

It is necessary to pass from meters to astronomical unit (AU), 1 AU is defined as the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

T = \sqrt{1AU}

T = 1AU

That can be expressed in units of years.

T = 1AU . \frac{1year}{1AU}

T = 1year

But there are 31536000 seconds in one year:

T = 1year . \frac{31536000s}{1year}

T = 31536000s

Finally, equation  1 can be used:

v = \frac{2 \pi (1.44x10^{11}m)}{(31536000s)}

v = 28690 m/s

<u>So Earth orbital speed around the Sun is 28690 m/s.</u>

<em>b) What is its kinetic energy?</em>

The kinetic energy is defined as:

E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  (4)

Notice that it is necessary to found the mass of the Earth, that can be done combining the Universal law of gravity and Newton's second law:

F = \frac{GMm}{r^{2}}

ma = \frac{GMm}{r^{2}}  (5)

M will be isolated in equation 5:

M = \frac{r^{2}a}{G}

Where r is the radius of the Earth (6.38x10^{6}m)

M = \frac{(6.38x10^{6}m)^{2}(9.8m/s^{2})}{6.67x10^{-11}kg.m/s^{2}.m^{2}/Kg^{2}})

M = 5.98x10^{24} Kg

E = \frac{1}{2}( 5.98x10^{24} Kg))(28.690m/s)^{2}

E = 2.46x10^{33}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}

E = 2.46x10^{33}J

<u>Hence, the kinetic energy of Earth is 2.46x10^{33}J.</u>

How much heat must be removed from 456 g of water at 25.0°C to change it into ice at - 10.0°C?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

229,098.96 J

Explanation:

mass of water (m) = 456 g = 0.456 kg

initial temperature (T) = 25 degrees

final temperature (t) = - 10 degrees

specific heat of ice = 2090 J/kg

latent heat of fusion =33.5 x 10^(4) J/kg

specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg

for the water to be converted to ice it must undergo three stages:

  • the water must cool from 25 degrees to 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of water x change in temp

        Q = 0.456 x 4186 x (25 - (-10)) = 66808.56 J

  • the water must freeze at 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of fusion x change in temp

         Q = 0.456 x 33.5 x 10^(4) = 152760 J

  • the water must cool further to -10 degrees from 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of ice x change in temp

        Q = 0.456 x 2090 x (0 - (-10)) = 9530.4 J

The quantity of heat removed from all three stages would be added to get the total heat removed.

Q total = 66,808.56 + 152,760 + 9,530.4 = 229,098.96 J
