Small-plane pilots regularly compete in "message drop" competitions, dropping heavy weights (for which air resistance can be ign

ored) from their low-flying planes and scoring points for having the weights land close to a target. a plane 70 m above the ground is flying directly toward a target at 44 m/s . at what distance from the target should the pilot drop the weight?

Answer:

1.7 × 10² m

Explanation:

The movement of the weight can be decomposed in a vertical component and a horizontal component.

The vertical movement is uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) and is the one that we will use to find the time of flight (t). The initial vertical speed is zero, and the vertical distance (y) traveled is 70 m. The acceleration is that of gravity.

y = 1/2 . a. t²

t = √(2y/a) = √(2 . 70 m/ 9.8 m/s²) = 3.8 s

The horizontal movement is a uniform motion (constant speed). The  horizontal speed is that of the plane. The horizontal distance at what the pilot should drop the weight is:

d = v . t = 44 m/s . 3.8s = 1.7 × 10² m

plane is flying at an altitude of 70 m

now if an object is dropped from it then time taken by object to drop on ground will be given as

y = v_i* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

here initial speed in vertical direction must be zero as plane is moving horizontal

given that

y = 70 m

a = 9.8 m/s^2

70 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2

t = 3.77 s

now since the plane is moving horizontally with speed v = 44 m/s

so the horizontal distance moved by the object will be

d = v_x * t

d = 44 * 3.77

d = 166.3 m

so the distance moved by the box is 166.3 m

Radiant heat makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat loss by radiation from 1.00 m^2 o
VARVARA [1.3K]

The rate of heat loss by radiation is equal to <u>-207.5kW</u>

Why?

To calculate the heat loss rate (or heat transfer rate) by radiation, from the given situation, we can use the following formula:

HeatLossRate=E*S*A*((T_{cold})^{4} -(T_{hot})^{4} )

Where,

E, is the emissivity of the body.

A, is the area of the body.

T, are the temperatures.

S, is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, which is equal to:

5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2}*K^{-4} }

Now, before substitute the given information, we must remember that the given formula works with absolute temperatures (Kelvin), so,  we need to convert the given values of temperature from Celsius degrees to Kelvin.

We know that:

K=Celsius+273.15

So, converting we have:

T_{1}=1110\°C+273.15=1383.15K\\\\T_{2}=36.2\°C+273.15=309.35K

Therefore, substituting the given information and calculating, we have:

HeatLossRate=E*S*A*((T_{cold})^{4} -(T_{hot})^{4} )

HeatLossRate=1*5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2}*K^{-4} }*1m^{2} *((309.35K)^{4} -(1383.15})^{4} )\\\\HeatLossRate=5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{K^{-4} }*(95697.42K^{4} -3.66x10^{12}K^{4})\\ \\HeatLossRate=5.67x10^{-8}\frac{W}{K^{-4} }*(-3.66x10^{12} K^{4})=-207522W=-207.5kW

Hence, we have that the rate of heat loss is equal to -207.5kW.

A 6.0 m section of wire carries a current of 5.2 A from east to west in the earth's magnetic field of 1.0 × 105 T at a location
NNADVOKAT [17]
Well, since you only want direction, ignore the numbers. Use the right hand rule.
Current (pointer finger) points west (left). 
Magnetic field (middle finger) points south (towards you). 
Force (thumb) then points up (away from the earth)

New substances are formed by chemical reactions. When elements react together to form compounds their atoms join to other atoms using chemical bonds. For example, iron and sulfur react together to form a compound called iron sulfide. Hopefully this will help you decide...

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

636.619772368 A

Explanation:

\tau = Torque = 1\times 10^{-3}\ N/m

B = Magnetic field of Earth = 5\times 10^{-5}\ T

A = Area

d = Diameter = 20 cm

Current is given by

I=\dfrac{\tau}{BA}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1\times 10^{-3}}{5\times 10^{-5}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.2^2}\\\Rightarrow I=636.619772368\ A

The current is 636.619772368 A
