At a meeting of physics teacher in Montana, the teachers were asked to calculate where a flour sack would land if dropped from a

moving airplane. The plane would be moving horizontally at a constant speed of 60 m/s at an altitude of 300.

At a distance of 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

Explanation:

First of all, we have to calculate the time it takes for the sack to reach the ground.

To do so, we just analyze its vertical motion, which is a free-fall motion, so we can use the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s = 300 m is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find the it takes for the sack to reach the ground:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(300)}{9.8}}=7.82 s

Now we analyze the horizontal motion. The horizontal velocity of the pack is constant (since there are no forces along the horizontal direction) and equal to the initial speed of the airplane, so:

v_x = 60 m/s

We also know the total time of flight,

t = 7.82 s

Therefore, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the sack:

d=v_x t = (60)(7.82)=469.2 m

So, the sack will land 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

: The truck is to be towed using two ropes. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB acting on each rope in order to develop
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

  1. On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
  2. On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)

⇒Fa=2.24Fb

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950  

⇒Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950

⇒2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950

⇒Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}

⇒ Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5

⇒Fa=2.24*Fb

      =2.24*345.5

      =773.93

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N

An electron (e = 1.6 x 10-19 C) is traveling at 4.00 x 107 m/s due North in a horizontal plane through a point where the earth’s
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on the electron due to magnetic field 's north component will be zero because both velocity of electron and direction of magnetic field are same .

Force due to downward component of magnetic field

= B q v where B is magnetic field , q is charge moving and v is velocity of charge

F = 5 .00 x 10⁻⁵ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 4 x 10⁷

= 32 x 10⁻¹⁷ N

acceleration = F / m where m is mass of electron

= 32 x 10⁻¹⁷ / 9.11 x 10⁻³¹

= 3.5 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

When it is at rotating at full speed, a disk drive in a certain old computer game system revolves once every 0.050 seconds. Star
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

α = 200*π rad/sec²

Explanation:

  • If the disk drive revolves once every 0.05 sec, this means that the angular velocity can be expressed as follows:

        \omega = \frac{2*\pi}{0.05s} = 40*\pi rad/sec

  • (just applying the definition of angular velocity)
  • Now, it the disk started from rest, and took two revolutions to reach to full speed, assuming that the angular acceleration is constant, we can find the angular acceleration applying this kinematic equation:

        \omega_{f} ^{2} -\omega_{0} ^{2} = 2*\alpha * \Delta\theta

  • where Δθ, is the angle rotated while it went from rest to full speed, i.e., 2 revolutions, or 2*π rads.
  • Replacing by the value that we found for ωf (as ω₀ = 0), we  can solve for α :

       \alpha =\frac{\omega_{f}^{2} }{2*\Delta\theta} = \frac{(40*\pi)^{2} }{2*2*2*\pi } =\\ \\ \alpha = 200*\pi rad/sec2

That is FALSE. The equation to calculate the charges has a distance component that is in the denominator which means that it is inversely proportional (as the distance os greater the force is smaller)

Why is it that the weight of an object weighing 1N air, weighs more when immersed in water ?
Anni [7]
There is no "why", because that's not what happens.  The truth is
exactly the opposite. 

Whatever the weight of a solid object is in air, that weight will appear
to be LESS when the object is immersed in water.

The object is lifted by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
It displaces the same amount of air or water, and any amount of water
weighs more than the same amount of air.  So the force that lifts the
object in water is greater than the force that lifts it in air, and the object
appears to weigh less in the water.
