Answer:

60 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy,

The kinetic energy of the plane = Energy of store in the spring when the plane lands.

1/2mv²  = 1/2ke²

making v the subject of the equation.

v = √(ke²/m).................... Equation 1

Where  v = the plane landing speed, k = spring constant, e = extension. m = mass of the plane.

Given: m = 15000 kg, k = 60000 N/m, e = 30 m.

Substitute into equation 1

v = √(60000×30²/15000)

v = √(4×900)

v = √(3600)

v = 60 m/s.

Hence the plane's landing speed = 60 m/s

Scenario
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1) t = 23.26 s,  x = 8527 m, 2)   t = 97.145 s,  v₀ = 6.4 m / s

Explanation:

1) First Scenario.

After reading your extensive problem, we are going to solve it, for this exercise we must use the parabolic motion relationships. Let's carry out an analysis of the situation, for deliveries the planes fly horizontally and we assume that the wind speed is zero or very small.

Before starting, let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         v₀ = 250 miles/h (5280 ft / 1 mile) (1h / 3600s) = 366.67 ft/s

         y = 2650 m

Let's start by looking for the time it takes for the load to reach the ground.

         y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

in this case when it reaches the ground its height is zero and as the plane flies horizontally the vertical speed is zero

         0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t2

          t = \sqrt{ \frac{2y_o}{g} }

          t = √(2 2650/9.8)

          t = 23.26 s

this is the horizontal scrolling time

          x = v₀ t

          x = 366.67  23.26

          x = 8527 m

the speed at the point of arrival is

         v_y = v_{oy} - g t = 0 - gt

         v_y = - 9.8 23.26

         v_y = -227.95 m / s

Module and angle form

        v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

         v = √(366.67² + 227.95²)

        v = 431.75 m / s

         θ = tan⁻¹ (v_y / vₓ)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (227.95 / 366.67)

         θ = - 31.97º

measured clockwise from x axis

We see that there must be a mechanism to reduce this speed and the merchandise is not damaged.

2) second scenario. A catapult located at the position x₀ = -400m y₀ = -50m with a launch angle of θ = 50º

we look for the components of speed

           cos θ = v₀ₓ / v₀

           sin θ = v_{oy} / v₀

            v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

            v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

we look for the time for the arrival point that has coordinates x = 0, y = 0

            y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

            0 = y₀ + vo sin θ t - ½ g t²

            0 = -50 + vo sin 50 t - ½ 9.8 t²

            x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t

            0 = x₀ + vo cos θ t

            0 = -400 + vo cos 50 t

podemos ver que tenemos un sistema de dos ecuación con dos incógnitas

          50 = 0,766 vo t – 4,9 t²

          400 =   0,643 vo t

resolved

          50 = 0,766 ( \frac{400}{0.643 \ t}) t – 4,9 t²

          50 = 476,52 t – 4,9 t²

          t² – 97,25 t + 10,2 = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

         t = [97.25 ± \sqrt{97.25^2 - 4 \ 10.2}] / 2

         t = 97.25 ±97.04] 2

         t₁ = 97.145 s

         t₂ = 0.1 s≈0

the correct time is t1 the other time is the time to the launch point,

         t = 97.145 s

let's find the initial velocity

         x = x₀ + v₀ cos 50 t

         0 = -400 + v₀ cos 50 97.145

         v₀ = 400 / 62.44

         v₀ = 6.4 m / s

I am pushing in a large box with 200 N of force. Clint is pushing on the box with 200 N of force in the opposite direction. Why
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Balanced forces

Explanation:

Balanced forces are where two forces of equal size act on an object in opposite directions. It means that in each direction, any pushes and pulls are balanced by another force in the opposite direction.

A 50 kg astronaut floating in space throws her 2 kg wrench to the left at 10
Hoochie [10]

The astronaut will move at 0.4 m/s in the opposite direction to the wrench

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the astronaut-wrench system must be conserved before and after the launch.

Before the launch, the total momentum is zero, since the astronaut is at rest:

p = 0 (1)

After the launch, the total momentum is:

p=mv+MV (2)

where :

m = 2 kg is the mass of the wrench

v = 10 m/s is the velocity of the wrench

M = 50 kg is the mass of the astronaut

V is the recoil velocity of the astronaut

Since momentum is conserved, we can write (1) = (2), and so we can solve for V:

0=mv+MV\\V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(2)(10)}{50}=-0.4 m/s

And the negative sign means that the astronaut will move in the opposite direction to the wrench.
