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

Anastaziya [24]

The correct option is (b) 5n

As a result, there is a net downward force of 5N operating on the object.

The resultant force is the force that results from adding the vector sums of all the forces operating on an item. The combined action of all the acting forces on the object produces the same effect as the resulting force. When determining the resulting force, the direction of the forces must be taken into account.

Given;

The northward force is Fn = 10N

The southward force is Fs = 15N

Required;

The net force on the mobile phone is Fnet = ?N

The object's weight exerts downward pressure, and upward resistance exerts upward pressure. The vector sum of these two forces will be the net force.

Fnet = Fs - Fn (Considering the direction downward as positive)

Fnet= 15N - 10N

Fnet = 5N

As a result, there is a net downward force of 5 N operating on the object.

A drag car starts from rest and moves down the racetrack with an acceleration defined by a = 50 - 10r, where a and fare in m/s^2
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Mistake in question

The correct question

A drag car starts from rest and moves down the racetrack with an acceleration defined by a = 50 - 10t , where a and t are in m/s² and seconds, respectively. After reaching a speed of 125 m/s, a parachute is deployed to help slow down the dragster. Knowing that this deceleration is defined by the relationship a = - 0.02v², where v is the velocity in m/s, determine (a) the total time from the beginning of the race until the car slows back down to 10 m/s, (b) the total distance the car travels during this time.

Explanation:

Given the function

a = 50 —10t

The car started from rest u = 0

And it accelerates to a speed of 125m/s

Then, let find the time in this stage

Acceleration can be modeled by

a = dv/dt

Then, dv/dt = 50—10t

Using variable separation to solve the differentiation equation

dv = (50—10t)dt

Integrating both sides

∫ dv = ∫ (50—10t)dt

Note, v ranges from 0 to 125seconds, so we want to know the time when it accelerate to 125m/s. So t ranges from 0 to t'

∫ dv = ∫ (50—10t)dt

v = 50t —10t²/2. Equation 1

[v] 0<v<125 = 50t —10t²/2 0<t<t'

125—0 = 50t — 5t² 0<t<t'

125 = 50t' — 5t'²

Divide through by 5

25 = 10t' — t'²

t'² —10t' + 25 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation

t'² —5t' —5t' + 25 = 0

t'(t' —5) —5(t' + 5) = 0

(t' —5)(t' —5) = 0

Then, (t' —5) = 0 twice

Then, t' = 5 seconds twice

So, the car spent 5 seconds to get to 125m/s.

The second stage when the parachute was deployed

We want to the time parachute reduce the speed from 125m/s to 10m/s,

So the range of the velocity is 125m/s to 10m/s. And time ranges from 0 to t''

The function of deceleration is give as

a = - 0.02v²

We know that, a = dv/dt

Then, dv/dt = - 0.02v²

Using variable separation

(1/0.02v²) dv = - dt

(50/v²) dv = - dt

50v^-2 dv = - dt

Integrate Both sides

∫ 50v^-2 dv = -∫dt

(50v^-2+1) / (-2+1)= -t

50v^-1 / -1 = -t

- 50v^-1 = -t

- 50/v = - t

Divide both sides by -1

50/v = t. Equation 2

Then, v ranges from 125 to 10 and t ranges from 0 to t''

[ 50/10 - 50/125 ] = t''

5 - 0.4 = t''

t'' = 4.6 seconds

Then, the time taken to decelerate from 125s to 10s is 4.6 seconds.

So the total time is

t = t' + t''

t = 5 + 4.6

t = 9.6 seconds

b. Total distanctraveleded.

First case again,

We want to find the distance travelled from t=0 to t = 5seconds

a = 50—10t

We already got v, check equation 1

v = 50t —10t²/2 + C

v = 50t — 5t² + C

We add a constant because it is not a definite integral

Now, at t= 0 v=0

So, 0 = 0 - 0 + C

Then, C=0

So, v = 50t — 5t²

Also, we know that v=dx/dt

Therefore, dx/dt = 50t — 5t²

Using variable separation

dx = (50t —5t²)dt

Integrate both sides.

∫dx = ∫(50t —5t²)dt

x = 50t²/2 — 5 t³/3 from t=0 to t=5

x' = [25t² — 5t³/3 ]. 0<t<5

x' = 25×5² — 5×5³/3 —0

x' = 625 — 208.333

x' = 416.667m

Stage 2

The distance moved from

t=0 to t =4.6seconds

a = -0.002v²

We already derived v(t) from the function above, check equation 2

50/v = t + C.

When, t = 0 v = 125

50/125 = 0 + C

0.4 = C

Then, the function becomes

50/v = t + 0.4

50v^-1 = t + 0.4

Now, v= dx/dt

50(dx/dt)^-1 = t +0.4

50dt/dx = t + 0.4

Using variable separation

50/(t+0.4) dt = dx

Integrate both sides

∫50/(t+0.4) dt = ∫ dx

50 In(t+0.4) = x

t ranges from 0 to 4.6seconds

50In(4.6+0.4)—50In(4.6-0.4) = x''

x'' = 50In(5) —50In(4.2)

x'' = 8.72m

Then, total distance is

x = x' + x''

x = 416.67+8.72

x = 425.39m

The total distance travelled in both cases is 425.39m

A 2.0 kg particle moving along the z-axis experiences the
DochEvi [55]

At point x = 0, the particle accelerates. Since there will be change of velocity at that point. The the force of the particle will change from negative sign to positive sign according to the given figure, we can therefore conclude that the particle will have a turning point at point x = 0.

Given that a 2.0 kg particle moving along the z-axis experiences the  force shown in a given figure.

Force is the product of mass and acceleration. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both the force and acceleration are vector quantities. They have both magnitude and direction.

If the particle's velocity is  3.0 m/s at x = 0 m, that mean that the particle experience change of velocity at point x = 0. Since the the force of the particle will change from negative sign to positive sign according to the given figure, we can therefore conclude that the particle will have a turning point at point x = 0.
