A plane comes in for a landing at a velocity of 80 meters per second west. As it touches down, it decelerates at a constant rate

of 3 meters per second per second. What is the minimum length of runway needed for this plane to come to a complete stop (on the runway!)?
OA) 240 m
OB) 682 m
OC) 859 m
OD) 1067 m​

Answer:

Answer D : about 1067 meters

Explanation:

There are two steps to this problem:

1) First find the time it takes the plane to stop using the equation for the acceleration:

a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

Where Vf is the final velocity of the plane (in our case: zero )

Vi is the initial velocity of the plane (in our case: 80 m/s)

a is the acceleration (in our case -3 m/s^2 - notice negative value because the velocity is decreasing)

a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}\\-3=\frac{0-80}{t}\\t=\frac{-80}{-3} = \frac{80}{3}

with units corresponding to seconds given the quantities involved in the calculation.

2) Second knowing the time it took the plane to stop, now use that time in the equation for the distance traveled under accelerated motion:

Xf-Xi=Vi*t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2} \\Xf-Xi= 80 (\frac{80}{3}) +\frac{1}{2} (-3) (\frac{80}{3}) ^{2}=1066.666666...

Where the answer results in units of meters given the quantities used in the calculation.

We round this to 1067 meters

Masja [62]

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the pressure of a gas in a container will increase if the number of collisions with the container wall increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Keeping the volume of the vessel constant, if we increase the amount of gas in it; the pressure will increase. This is because when the number of gas particles increases in that limited volume, they hit the walls of the container with more energy and hence, the overall pressure of the gas increases.

If we decrease the amount of gas in the vessel or increase the volume for the same amount of gas, the pressure decreases. As the pressure inside the vessel depends upon the gas supplied in the container.

An object is dropped from a platform 100 feet high. Ignoring wind resistance, what will its speed be when it reaches the ground?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

80 ft/s

Explanation:

Use III equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2g h

Here, U = 0, g = 32 ft/s^2, h = 100 ft

V^2 = 0 + 2 × 32 ×100

V^2 = 6400

V = 80 ft/s
