An airplane cruises at 850 km/h relative to the air. It is flying from Denver, Colorado, due west to Reno, Nevada, a distance of

1200 km, and will then return. There is a steady 90km/h wind blowing to the east.

Answer:

difference in flight time= 0.3023 hour

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, but I found it in your textbook.

Spped of aircraft = 850 km/h

Opposing speed of wind = 90km/h

Hence, the net speed when it's travelling west = 850 - 90 = 760 km/hr

The distance covered = 1200km

time taken = distance/ time = 1200/ 760 = 1.5789 hours

When coming back, the speed of the wind is complementary to the speed of the aircraft so

net speed when it's coming back = 850 +90 = 940 km/hr

time taken in this instance = 1200/ 940 = 1.2765 hours

Hence, the difference in flight time= 1.5789 - 1.2765 = 0.3023 hour

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

We will discard options that don't fit the situation:

Option b: <em>Incorrect </em>since if the driver "hits the gas" then velocity is augmenting and it's not constant.

Option c and d: <em>Incorrect </em>since the situation doesn't give us any information that could be related directly to the terrain or movement direction.

Option a: Correct. At <em>stage 1</em> we can assume the driver was going at constant speed which means acceleration is constantly zero. At <em>stage 2 </em>we can assume the driver augmented speed linearly, this is, with constant positive acceleration. At <em>stage 3 </em>we can assume the driver slowed the speed linearly, with constant negative acceleration.

A ball is thrown straight up. It passes a 2.00-m-high window 7.50 m off the ground on its path up and takes 0.312 s to go past t
marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

The window height is 2m

And the window is 7.5m from the ground

Then the total height of the window from the ground is 7.5+2=9.5m

It takes the ball 0.32sec travelled pass the window.

When the ball get to the window, it has an initial velocity (u') and when it gets to the top of the window it has a final velocity ( v')

Now using the equation of free fall during this window travels

S=ut-½gt² against motion.

S=2, g=9.81, t=0.32sec

Then,

S=u't-½gt²

2=u'×0.32-½×9.81×0.32²

2=0.32u'-0.5023

2+0.5032=0.32u'

Then, 0.32u'=2.5032

u'=2.5032/0.32

u'=7.82m/s

This is the initial velocity as the ball got the the window

Now, let analyse from the window bottom to the ground which is a distance of 7.5m

Using the equation of free fall again

v²=u²-2gH

In this case the final velocity (v) is the velocity when the ball reach the bottom of the window i.e u'=7.82m/s,

While u is the original initial velocity from the throw of the ball

Then,

u'²=u²-2gH

7.82²=u²-2×9.81×7.5

61.146=u²-147.15

61.146+147.15=u²

Then, u²=208.296

So, u=√208.296

u=14.43m/s

The initial velocity of the ball form the throw is 14.43m/s

A crate of mass 190 kg sits on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.4, an
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of 190kg

Coefficient of static friction is 0.4

Coefficient of kinetic friction 0.36

Horizontal force= 500N

Taking g=9.81m/s^2.

The weight of the body my

W=190×9.81=1863.91N

There is a normal acting on the body which is equal to the weight

N=W=1863.91N

Frictional force(fr) is acting on the body and it is opposite the horizontal force.

The minimum force to be overcome before the object can start to move is Fr = μsN

Fr= μsN. μs=0.4

Fr= 0.4×1863.91

Fr=745.56N.

Since the horizontal force (500N) is not up to the minimum force to make the object move, then the force of 500N the body is still at rest.

Then the frictional force at that time is equal to the horizontal force

Therefore

Functional force = 500N

b. Mass of asteroid is

M=2000kg

Asteroid velocity at a particular instant is,

U=(-1.30x10^4, 4.20x10^4, 0)m/s

Magnitude of U is

U=√(-1.30×10^4)^2 +(4.2×10^4)^2+0

U=√1.933E9

U=4.39×10^4m/s

Position of the asteroid from the centre of the earth is,

R= (6.00x10^6, 10.00x10^6, 0)m.

The magnitude of the radius is

R = √(6.00x10^6)^2+ (10.00x10^6)^2+ 0^2

R=√3.6E13+10E13+0

R=√13.6E13

R=1.17E7m

R^2=13.6E13m

The mass of the earth is

Me=5.97x10^24 kg

The momentum of the asteroid after time, t=1.5×10^3s

Given that G=6.67x10^-11Nm^2/kg^2

Momentum is

Mv-Mu=Ft

There the new momentum will be

Mv=Ft+Mu

Now we the to find the force the earth exert on the asteroid by using

F=GMMe/R^2

F=6.67E-11 ×2000× 5.97E24 /13.6E13

F=7.964E17/13.6E13

F=5855.88N

The new momentum

Mv= Mu+Ft

Mv= 2000(4.39E4)+5855.88(1.5E3)

Mv=9.66E7kgm/s

The new momentum is 9.66×10^7 Kgm/s
