A package falls out of an airplane that is flying in a straight line at a constant altitude and speed. If you ignore air resista

nce, what would be the path of the package as observed by the pilot? As observed by a person on the ground?

Anettt [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

If you ignore air resistant, then nothing affects the package horizontal motion. In Newton's first law it would keep the package at a constant speed, the speed of the airplane.

So to the eyes of the pilot who is also moving at the same horizontal speed, the lateral position of the package does not change. He can only perceive that the package is getting further away from him as it's dropping vertically.

To a person on the ground then the package is travelling in a parabolic path, where its horizontal speed is constant but vertical speed is increasing toward the ground at the rate of g.

What is the force when an object exerts 15 pascal pressure on a square surface of side 5 meters
olga55 [171]

Answer:375N

Explanation:

pressure =15 pascal

Length of side =5 m

Area=length x length

Area=5 x 5

Area=25 m^2

Force=pressure x area

Force=15 x 25

Force=375N

The energy of the electron in Hydrogen atom can be shown to be given by En = -13.6/n^2 eV, where n represents the principal quan
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

This represents radiation in ultra-violet region .

Explanation:

Energy of the orbit where n = 3 is given as follows

E_3 =- \frac{13.6 }{3^2}

E_3 =- \frac{13.6 }{9} = -1.511 eV

Energy of the orbit where n = 1 is given as follows

E_1 =- \frac{13.6 }{1^2}

E_1 =- \frac{13.6 }{1} = 13.6 eV

Difference of [tex]E_3 and [tex]E_1 = - 1.511+ 13.6

= 12.089 eV.

The wavelength of light having this energy in nm is given by the expression as follows

Wavelength in nm = 1244 / energy in eV

= 1244 / 12.089

= 102.90 nm

This represents radiation in ultra-violet region .

In a historical movie, two knight on horseback start from
mixer [17]

Answer:

The knights collide 53.0 m from the starting point of sir George.

Explanation:

The equation for the position in a straight accelerated movement is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

The position of the two knights is the same when they collide. Since they start from rest, v0 = 0:

Sir George´s position:

xGeorge = 0 m + 0 m + 1/2 * 0.300 m/s² * t²

Considering the center of the reference system as Sir George´s initial position, the initial position of sir Alfred will be 88.0 m. The acceleration of sir Afred will be negative because he rides in opposite direction to sir George:

xAlfred = 88.0 m + 0 m - 1/2 * 0.200  m/s² * t²

When the knights collide:

xGeorge = x Alfred

1/2 * 0.300 m/s² * t² = 88.0 m - 1/2 * 0.200  m/s² * t²

0.150 m/s² * t² = 88.0 m - 0.100  m/s² * t²

0.150  m/s² * t² + 0.100  m/s² * t² = 88.0 m

0.250 m/s² * t² = 88.0 m

t² = 88.0 m / 0.250 m/s²

t = 18.8 s

At t = 18.8 s the position of sir George will be

x =  1/2 * 0.300 m/s² * (18.8 s)² = <u>53.0 m </u>

What is paleomagnetism how has it been used to understand plate tectonics?
Nonamiya [84]
<span>Plate tectonics is the theory that the earth's crust is broken up into plates that float on top of a hotter and more fluid layer below. Evidence to support this theory has been uncovered through the study of the earth's past magnetic field, known as paleomagnetism.</span>
