A man seeking to set a world record wants to tow a 101,000-kg airplane along a runway by pulling horizontally on a cable attache

d to the airplane. The mass of the man is 84 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the runway is 0.76. What is the greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane? Assume that the airplane is on wheels that turn without any frictional resistance.

Answer:

6.19 x 10^{-3} m/s^{2}

Explanation:

For this exercise we need to sum the forces on the y-axis and x-axis as follows:

∑F_{y} = N - mg = m.a_{y} = 0

From the exercise, we deduce there is no motion in y-axis, so:

N = mg

Then for x-axis we have:

∑F_{x} = H - f^{s} = m.a_{x} = 0

Now, from the exercise we deduce that we are looking for the greatest static friction which means to have the maximun static friction to start moving, so at this point the acceleration is zero, so we can find horizontal force (H), which then will act in the airplane to move it. Therefore we have:

H = f^{s} = f^{sma_{x} } = u_{s}N = u_{s}mg

H = (0.76)(84Kg)(9.8m/s^{2})

H = 625.63 N

Now we apply this force to the weight of the plane to find the greatest acceleration the mann can give to start moving the plane.

a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{H}{m}

a = \frac{6325.63N}{101000Kg}

a = 6.19 x 10^{-3} m/s^{2}

A charge moves a distance of 1.8 cm in the direction of a uniform electric field having a magnitude of 214 N/C. The electrical p
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

 13.4 x 10 raise to power -19  C

Explanation:

. The distance moved by a charge in the direction of a uniform electric field is d= 1.8 cm =0.018 m

. The uniform electric field is  E = 214 N/M

, The decrease in electrical potential energy is   d(P.E) = 51.63 x 10 raise to power -19 J

Let the magnitude of the charge of the moving particle be q

which is given by the equation

d(P.E) =qEd

51.63 x 10 power -19 = q(214)(0.018)

51.63 x 10 power -19 =3.852q

by making q the formular,

q = 13.4 x 10 power -19 C

A school bus has a mass of 18,200 kg. The bus moves at 13.5 m/s. How fast must a 0.142-kg baseball move in order to have the sam
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

bus momentum

p_bus= m_bus x v_bus

=18,200 x 16.5

basball momentum

pball=mball x vball

=0.142 x v

p_bus = pball

18200 x 16.5 = 0.142 x v

v=(18200 x 16.5)/0.142

v is the answer for baseball

If you throw a raw egg against a wall, you'll break it, but if you throw it with the same speed into a sagging sheet it won't br
SashulF [63]
<span>The egg doesn't break when it hits the sheet because the impact time is longer. Momentum means the egg is slowed rather than coming to an abrubt halt. The softer the object that the egg hits, the longer the time it takes to break. A sheet is so soft that the force is never high enough for the egg to break.</span>

True: All matter on earth is made up of atoms.

False: Subatomic particles don't identify an element. I give you an electron. Can you tell me where it came from?

False: (1/2) A neutron has no charge [That's the True part]. It identifies the element. (Not true).

True: description of an electron.
