A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes
OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

y(t) = 0

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s

So the horizontal distance travelled is

d=v_x t

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km

A rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a
Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
