As a 15000 kg jet plane lands on an aircraft carrier, its tail hook snags a cable to slow it down. The cable is attached to a sp

ring with spring constant 60000 N/m.If the spring stretches 30 m to stop the plane, what was the plane's landing speed?

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

Answer the following questions for projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance (the initial angle being
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The velocity will never be zero . The velocity will be minimum at the highest point of projectile,  which will be equal to the horizontal component of the initial velocity.

b ) The velocity will be minimum when its kinetic energy will be minimum . Kinetic energy will be minimum when its potential energy will be maximum.

Its potential energy will be maximum at the highest point so velocity will be minimum at the highest point.

c ) Velocity will never be the same as initial velocity because constant force of gravitation is acting on the projectile all the time.

d ) At the moment when the projectile returns back and hits the ground, the speed becomes equal to the initial speed ( at t = 0 ) because its kinetic energy becomes the same as initial energy , the height becoming zero.
