In fighting forest fires, airplanes work in support of ground crews by dropping water on the fires. For practice, a pilot drops

a canister of red dye, hoping to hit a target on the ground below. If the plane is flying in a horizontal path 90.0 m above the ground and has a speed of 64.0 m/s (143 mi/h), at what horizontal distance from the target should the pilot release the canister? Ignore air resistance.

Answer:

s=274.2857\ m is the distance from the target before which the pilot must release the canister.

Explanation:

Given:

  • height of the plane, h=90\ m
  • horizontal speed of plane, v_x=64\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Time taken by the canister to hit the ground:</u>

using equation of motion

h=u_y.t+\frac{1}{2} g.t^2

where:

u_y= initial vertical velocity of the canister = 0 (since the the object is dropped from a horizontally moving plane)

t= time taken to hit the ground

90=0+0.5\times 9.8\times t^2

t=4.2857\ s

<u>Now the horizontal distance travelled by the canister after dropping:</u>

s=v_x\times t

s=64\times 4.2857

s=274.2857\ m is the distance from the target before which the pilot must release the canister.

If the back of the truck is 1.3 m above the ground and the ramp is inclined at 22 ∘ , how much time do the workers have to get t
solong [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that
(a) The piano rolls down on frictionless wheels,
(b) Wind resistance is negligible.

The distance along the ramp is
d = (1.3 m)/sin(22°) = 3.4703 m

The component of the piano's weight along the ramp is
mg sin(22°)
If the acceleration down the ramp is a, then
ma = mg sin(22°)
a = g sin(22°) = (9.8 m/s²) sin(22°) = 3.671 m/s²

The time, t, to travel down the ramp from rest is given by
(3.4703 m) = 0.5*(3.671 m/s²)*(t s)²
t² = 3.4703/1.8355 = 1.8907
t = 1.375 s

Answer: 1.375 s

A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 600 Hz sound generator to a 1.0-m-long rope and whirling it aroun
nalin [4]

Answer:

Therefore the the highest frequency is 620Hz and lowest frequency is 580Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Source Frequency fs=600Hz

Length r=1.0m

RPM=100 rpm

The speed of the generator is calculated as:

v_{s}=rw\\v_{s}=r(2\pi f)

Substitute the given values

v_{s}=(1.0m)2\pi (\frac{100}{60}rev/s )\\v_{s}=10.47m/s

For approaching generator the frequency is calculated as:

f_{+}=\frac{f_{s}}{1-\frac{v_{s}}{v} }\\f_{+}=\frac{600Hz}{1-\frac{10.47m/s}{343m/s} } \\f_{+}=620Hz

On the other hand,for the receding generator,Doppler's effect is expressed as:

 f_{-}=\frac{f_{s}}{1+\frac{v_{s}}{v} }\\f_{-}=\frac{600Hz}{1+\frac{10.47m/s}{343m/s} } \\f_{-}=580Hz

Therefore the the highest frequency is 620Hz and lowest frequency is 580Hz

What is kepler's law??​
Elan Coil [88]
<h2>QUESTION:- </h2>

➜what is kepler's law??

\huge\red{\boxed{\huge\mathbb{\red A \pink{N}\purple{S} \blue{W}\orange{ER}}}}

Kepler gave the three laws or theorems of motion of the orbitals bodies

{\huge {\bold{ \red{ \star}}}}{ \blue{ \bold{FIRST \: \: \: LAW}}}

This law state that the celestial bodies revolves around the stars in elliptical orbit and star as a single focus.

Example :- Earth revolves around the Sun as assuming it as single focus

This also shows that earth revolves around the sun in elliptical orbit.

{\huge {\bold{ \blue{ \star}}}}{ \green{ \bold{SECOND \: \: \: LAW}}}

Area covered by the planet is equal in equal duration of time irrespective of the position of the planet.

It also states that Angular momentum is constant

As Angular momentum is constant it means areal velocity is also constant.

\frac{ \triangle \: A}{ \triangle \: T} = \frac{L}{2m}△T△A=2mL

where:-

A is the area.

T is the time.

L is the angular momentum.

M is the mass of the body.

{\huge {\bold{ \green{ \star}}}}{ \purple{ \bold{THIRD \: \: \: LAW}}}

square of the time of the revolution is directly proportional to the cube of the distance between the planet and star in Astronomical unit.

{T}^{2} = {a}^{3}T2=a3

where:-

T = time of revolution

a is the distance between the planet and star.
