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

A solution is prepared by dissolving 49.3 g of KBr in enough water to form 473 mL of solution. Calculate the mass % of KBr in th
son4ous [18]

Answer:

9.31%

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of KBr=49.3 g

Volume of solution=473 mL

Density of solution =1.12g/mL

We have to find the mass% of KBr.

Mass =volume\times density

Using the formula

Mass of solution=1.12\times 473=529.76 g

Mass % of KBr=\frac{mass\;of\;KBr}{Total\;mass\;of\;solution}\times 100

Mass % of KBr=\frac{49.3}{529.76}\times 100

Mass % of KBr=9.31%

Hence, the mass% of KBr=9.31%

A net force of 345 N accelerates a boy on a sled at 3.2 m/s^2 . What is combined mass of the sled
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Mass, m = 26.54kg

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Where;

  • Fnet is the net force
  • Fapp is the applied force
  • Fg is the force due to gravitation

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Net force, Fnet = 345

Acceleration, a = 3.2m/s²

<u>To find mass;</u>

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Fnet = ma + mg

Fnet = m(a+g)

m = Fnet/(a+g)

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8m/s²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

m = 345/(3.2 + 9.8)

m = 345/13

Mass, m = 26.54kg

Find the unit vector in the direction of vector B=4i+2j-5k​
solmaris [256]

Answer:

\frac{4}{\sqrt{45} } i\,+\frac{2}{\sqrt{45} } j-\frac{5}{\sqrt{45} } k

Explanation:

for the unit vector, we need to divide the given vector by its norm, because it should be in the SAME direction as the original vector, but of magnitude "1".

We notice that the norm of the given vector is:

\sqrt{4^2+2^2+(-5)^2} =\sqrt{45}

Then, the unit vector becomes:

\frac{4}{\sqrt{45} } i\,+\frac{2}{\sqrt{45} } j-\frac{5}{\sqrt{45} } k

Suppose A=BnCm, where A has dimensions LT, B has dimensions L2T-1, and C has dimensions LT2. Then the exponents n and m have the
julsineya [31]

Explanation:

The expression is :

A=B^nC^m

A =[LT], B=[L²T⁻¹], C=[LT²]

Using dimensional of A, B and C in above formula. So,

A=B^nC^m\\\\\ [LT]=[L^2T^{-1}]^n[LT^2}]^m\\\\\ [LT]=L^{2n}T^{-n}L^mT^{2m}\\\\\ [LT]=L^{2n+m}T^{2m-n}

Comparing the powers both sides,

2n+m=1 ...(1)

2m-n=1 ...(2)

Now, solving equation (1) and (2) we get :

n=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\m=\dfrac{3}{5}

Hence, the correct option is (E).
