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

The inductance of a solenoid with 450 turns and a length of 24 cm is 7.3 mH. (a) What is the cross-sectional area of the solenoi
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: 0.43 V

Explanation:

L = [μ(0) * N² * A] / l

Where

L = Inductance of the solenoid

N = the number of turns in the solenoid

A = cross sectional area of the solenoid

l = length of the solenoid

7.3*10^-3 = [4π*10^-7 * 450² * A] / 0.24

1.752*10^-3 = 4π*10^-7 * 202500 * A

1.752*10^-3 = 0.255 * A

A = 1.752*10^-3 / 0.255

A = 0.00687 m²

A = 6.87*10^-3 m²

emf = -N(ΔΦ/Δt).........1

L = N(ΔΦ/ΔI) so that,

N*ΔΦ = ΔI*L

Substituting this in eqn 1, we have

emf = - ΔI*L / Δt

emf = - [(0 - 3.2) * 7.3*10^-3] / 55*10^-3

emf = 0.0234 / 0.055

emf = 0.43 V

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.
