A rescue pilot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying at an altitude of 1.5 km with a forward velocity of 100.0 m/s. If

air friction is disregarded, how far in advance of the starving explorer’s drop zone should she release the package?

Given: Initial Velocity Vi = 100 m/s; Altitude y = 1.5 Km; Time t = ?

The aircraft is moving horizontally on x direction

Formula to follow: x = VicosΘt   but Time t is unknown. 

Solving for Time "t" formula will be y = VisineΘt + 1/2 gt² 

Since sineΘt = 0 therefore  y = 1/2gt² Solve for t

t = √2y/g  t = √2(1500 m)/9.8m/s²)   t = 31.24 s

Now solving for distance

x = VicosΘt  x = (100 m/s) (31.24 s) x =  3,124 m or 3.124 Km

1750 meters.  
First, determine how long it takes for the kit to hit the ground. Distance over constant acceleration is: 
d = 1/2 A T^2
 where
 d = distance
 A = acceleration
 T = time 
 Solving for T, gives
 d = 1/2 A T^2
 2d = A T^2
 2d/A = T^2
 sqrt(2d/A) = T 
 Substitute the known values and calculate.
 sqrt(2d/A) = T
 sqrt(2* 1500m / 9.8 m/s^2) = T
 sqrt(3000m / 9.8 m/s^2) = T
 sqrt(306.122449 s^2) = T
 17.49635531 s = T 
 Rounding to 4 significant figures gives 17.50 seconds. Since it will take
17.50 seconds for the kit to hit the ground, the kit needs to be dropped 17.50
seconds before the plane goes overhead. So just simply multiply by the velocity. 
17.50 s * 100 m/s = 1750 m

A 12.6-kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging on a vertical circle. As an approximation, assume a radial dis
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

a)27.3N

b)150.78N

Explanation:

Having in mind the conservation of energy, as the monkey goes up (gaining potential gravitational energy) the kinetic energy must be reduced, so reducing the velocity of the monkey. So the maximum velocity will be at this lower point with a velocity of 1.36m/s

From this velocity and the radius we can calculate the angular velocity for the monkey center of mass:

w=\frac{1.36m/s}{0.853m} =1.594 /s

with this we can calculate the centripetal force magnitude:

F=m*w^{2} *r=12.6kg*(1.594/s)^{2} *0.853m=27.3N

On the mokey center of mass we have two opposite forces acting, the tension of the arm and the weight, in order for the monkey to continue swinging the resolt of this two forces must be equal to the centripetal force:

T-P=F=>T=F+P

T=27.3N+12.6kg*9.8m/s^{2}=150.78N

2 Select the correct answer. Javed suffers from a severe food allergy. Which device should Javed always carry? A. inhaler B. epi
Slav-nsk [51]

The best answer would be:

B. Epi pen

Here is more about it:

An epi pen injects epinephrine into the body to counteract the effects of an allergic reaction. Epinephrine helps narrow blood vessels and open up the airways. This can be used for food allergies, insect bites, and some other allergens. It is very effective and immediately works, but it is short-lived, so seeking medical attention after is still needed.

German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position (Δx) to the uncertainty in its velocity (Δ???
fredd [130]

Answer:

\Delta x = 5.47 \times 10^{-9} m

Explanation:

As we know by the principle of uncertainty that the product of uncertainty in position and uncertainty in momentum is given as

\Delta x \times \Delta P = \frac{h}{4\pi}

so here we know that

\Delta v = 0.01 \times 10^6 m/s

m = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

so we have

\Delta x \times (9.11 \times 10^{-31})(0.01 \times 10^6) = \frac{6.26 \times 10^{-34}}{4\pi}

\Delta x = 5.47 \times 10^{-9} m
