a jet plane traveling 1890 km/h pulls out of a dive by moving in an arc of radius 5.20km. what is planes acceleration in g's

Andrew [12]

Answer:

$53 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Unit conversions:

1890 km/h = 1890 km/h * 1000m/km * 1/3600 h/s = 525 m/s

5.2 km = 5200 m

Assume that the jets is traveling in perfect circular motion, we can calculate the centripetal acceleration of the motion:

$a = \frac{v^2}{r}$

where v = 525m/s is the velocity of the jet and r = 5200 is the radius of the arc

$a = \frac{525^2}{5200} = 53m/s^2$

Two blocks with mass M and 3M on a horizontal frictionless surface are pushed together and compress a spring of negligible mass

Naily [24]

Answer:

launching speed of the lighter block = -6 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of light block; M

Mass of heavy block; 3M

Speed of launched block: v = 2m/s

We are told that the two blocks are sitting on the horizontal frictionless surface. Thus, we can say that no external force is being applied on the system and so, the momentum of the whole system is conserved accordingly to that condition.

We are also told that when the rope is cut with scissors, that the heavier block attains the speed of 2 m/s in the positive x-direction which is horizontal direction.

We know that formula for momentum is; M = mass x velocity.

Thus, the momentum of the heavier block is calculated as;

M_1 = 3M × 2

M_1 = 6M kg.m/s

Since no external force is applied on the object, the initial momentum will be zero.

Hence, to conserve the system, the momentum of the lighter block will be equal and opposite to the momentum of heavier block.

So, momentum of lighter block is;

M_2 = -6M kg.m/s

Since mass of lighter block is M and formula for momentum = mass x velocity.

Thus;

-6M = Mv

Where v is speed of lighter block.

So, v = -6M/M

v = -6 m/s

A kid on a playground swing makes a complete to-and-fro swing each 2 seconds.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

The frequency of the swing: 1/2 Hertz

The period is: 2 Seconds

Explanation:

The time the kid takes to make a complete to-and-fro swing = 2 seconds

The period, T, is the time it takes to make one complete cycle of an oscillatory motion, therefore, we have;

The frequency, f, is the number of cycles completed each second, therefore, we have;

The time for 1 cycle = 2 seconds

2 seconds = 1 cycle

Dividing both sides by 2 gives;

2/2 seconds = 1/2 cycles

2/2 = 1

In 2/2 = 1 seconds The number of cycles completed = 1/2 cycles

Therefore, the number of cycles completed per (one) second = 1/2 cycles

Therefore the frequency of the swing, f = 1/2 cycle/seconds = 1/2 Hertz

The period, T, is the time it takes to complete one to-and-fro swing which is one cycle which is 2 seconds

Therefore, the period is 2 Seconds.
