<h2>Answer: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
</h2>
The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation, since they flew in a device heavier than air, which was inconceivable at that time.
Their first successful flight was on December 17th, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, which lasted only 12 seconds in which their plane (the Flyer I, with 341 kg, 6.4 m long and a wingspan of 12.3 m) traveled 37 m without touching the ground. This was achieved through the help of an external catapult that "threw" them into the air.
It should be noted that the Wright brothers only studied until high school, however, their passion for solving the problem of the human inability to fly, their perseverance and experience acquired over the years in their bicycle company, led them to reach that goal. An achievement that marked the beginning of the aviation era.
For vertical motion, use the following kinematics equation:
H(t) = X + Vt + 0.5At²
H(t) is the height of the ball at any point in time t for t ≥ 0s
X is the initial height
V is the initial vertical velocity
A is the constant vertical acceleration
Given values:
X = 1.4m
V = 0m/s (starting from free fall)
A = -9.81m/s² (downward acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface)
Plug in these values to get H(t):
H(t) = 1.4 + 0t - 4.905t²
H(t) = 1.4 - 4.905t²
We want to calculate when the ball hits the ground, i.e. find a time t when H(t) = 0m, so let us substitute H(t) = 0 into the equation and solve for t:
1.4 - 4.905t² = 0
4.905t² = 1.4
t² = 0.2854
t = ±0.5342s
Reject t = -0.5342s because this doesn't make sense within the context of the problem (we only let t ≥ 0s for the ball's motion H(t))
t = 0.53s
A. 1/9
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is given by
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the two masses
r is the distance between the two masses
From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the distance is tripled (increased by a factor 3), the magnitude of the force changes by a factor
Answer:
D. the same as force. the applied force per cross-sectional area.
Explanation:
Tensile stress of a material is defined as the ratio of the applied force on the material to its cross sectional area. this is expressed mathematically as;
Tensile stress = Force/cross sectional area
Tensile stress = F/A
Force is measured in newton while cross sectional area is measured in m
Hence the unit of Tensile stress is N/m²
