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}

frez [133]

a.

The work done by a constant force along a rectilinear motion when the force and the displacement vector are not colinear is given by:

W=F\cos\theta\cdot d

where F is the magnitude of the force, theta is the angle between them and d is the distance.

The problen gives the following data:

The magnitude of the force 750 N.

The angle between the force and the displacement which is 25°

The distance, 26 m.

Plugging this in the formula we have:

\begin{gathered} W=\left(750\right)\left(\cos25\right)\left(26\right) \\ W=17673 \end{gathered}

Therefore the work done is 17673 J.

b)

The power is given by:

P=\frac{W}{t}

the problem states that the time it takes is 6 s. Then:

\begin{gathered} P=\frac{17673}{6} \\ P=2945.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore the power is 2945.5 W

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster.  Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.
