To hit the target the crew drop the crate before the plane is directly over the target. It is because <span>because the cargo has forward velocity and therefore before it reaches the ground it travels some distance. The answer is A. Hope it helps. </span>

Answer:

a) Before the plane is directly over the target  

Explanation:

When a crate would be dropped from the cargo plane, its initial vertical velocity would be zero (free fall) but it would still have horizontal velocity of the moving plane. Therefore, the falling crate would transverse a parabolic path.

In order to make it hit the target, the crate should be dropped before the plane is directly over the target because of the horizontal component of net velocity will take the crate towards the target.

Thus, option a is correct.

Your friend is wearing a red coat. When white light hits the coat, some light is reflected, and some is absorbed.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Orange , yellow, green and blue

red coat absorbs all colors of visible light except red, so red light

is the only light left to bounce off of the coat toward our eyes.

Suppose the odometer on our car is broken and we want to estimate the distance driven over a 30 second time interval. We take th
Natalija [7]

Let say for every 5 s of time interval the speed will remain constant

so it is given as

v(mi/h)   16    21    23    26    33    30     28

now we have to convert the speed into ft/s as it is given that 1 mi/h = 5280/3600 ft/s

so here we will have

v(ft/s)      23.5    30.8     33.73     38.13     48.4     44     41.1

now for each interval of 5 s we will have to find the distance cover for above interval of time

d = v \times t

d = (23.5 + 30.8 + 33.73 + 38.13 + 48.4 + 44 + 41.1) \times 5

d = 1298.1 ft

so here it will cover 1298.1 ft distance in 30 s interval of time

At a distance of 0.208 cm from the center of a charged conducting sphere with radius 0.100cm, the electric field is 485 n/c . wh
Anna35 [415]

We have the equation for electric field E = kQ/d^{2}

Where k is a constant, Q is the charge of source and d is the distance from center.

In this case E is inversely proportional to d^{2}

So, \frac{E_{1} }{E_{2}} = \frac{d_{2}^{2}}{d_{1}^{2}}

E_{1} = 485 N/C

d_{1} = 0.208 cm

d_{2} = 0.620 cm

E_{2} = ?

\frac{485 }{E_{2}} = \frac{0.620^{2}}{0.208^{2}}

E_{2} = \frac{485*0.208^{2}}{0.628^{2}}

E_{2} = 53.20 N/C

At an air show, a stunt pilot performs a vertical loop-the-loop in a circle of radius 3.63 x 103 m. During this performance the
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

189 m/s

Explanation:

The pilot will experience weightlessness when the centrifugal force, F equals his weight, W.

So, F = W

mv²/r = mg

v² = gr

v = √gr where  v = velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and r = radius of loop = 3.63 × 10³ m

So, v = √gr

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 3.63 × 10³ m)

v = √(35.574 × 10³ m²/s²)

v = √(3.5574 × 10⁴ m²/s²)

v = 1.89 × 10² m/s

v = 189 m/s
