Answer:

a = -0.05 m/s² (negative sign shows deceleration)

Explanation:

In order, to find out the minimum average acceleration for a student starting at 5 m/s to slide to the end, we can use 3rd equation of motion. 3rd equation of motion is given as follows:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = minimum acceleration required = ?

s = minimum distance covered = 250 m

Vf = Final Speed = 0 m/s (for minimum acceleration the student will barely cover 250 m and then stop)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 5 m/s

Therefore,

2a(250 m) = (0 m/s)² - (5 m/s)²

a = - (25 m²/s²)/(500 m)

<u>a = -0.05 m/s²</u> (negative sign shows deceleration)

A plane has a mass of 360,000 kg takes-off at a speed of 300 km/hr. i) What should be the minimum acceleration to take off if th
melomori [17]

Answer:

i) the minimum acceleration to take off is 22500 km/h²

ii) the required time needed by the plane from starting to takeoff is 0.0133 hrs

iii) required force that the engine must exert to attain acceleration is 625 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of plane m = 360,000 kg

take of speed v = 300 km/hr = 83.33 m/s

i)

What should be the minimum acceleration to take off if the length of the runway is 2.00 km

from Newton's equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we know that a plane starts from rest, so; u = 0

given that distance S = 2 km

we substitute

(300)² = 0² + ( 2 × a × 2 )

90000 = 4 × a

a = 90000 / 4

a = 22500 km/h²

Therefore,  the minimum acceleration to take off is 22500 km/h²

ii) At this acceleration, how much time would the plane need from starting to takeoff.

from Newton's equation of motion;

v = u + at

we substitute

300 = 0 + 22500 × t

t = 300 / 22500

t = 0.0133 hrs

Therefore, the required time needed by the plane from starting to takeoff is 0.0133 hrs

iii) What force must the engines exert to attain this acceleration

we know that;

F = ma

acceleration a = 22500 km/hr² = 1.736 m/s²

so we substitute

F = 360,000 kg × 1.736 m/s²

F =  624960 N

F = 625 kN

Therefore, required force that the engine must exert to attain acceleration is 625 kN

For all turning vehicles, the rear wheels follow a ______ than the front wheels.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Shorter path

Explanation:

For all turning vehicles, the rear wheels follow <u>Shorter path</u> than the front wheels.

Any turning vehicle, the rear(the back part of something, especially a vehicle.) wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the vehicle is, the greater the difference will be in path. Trucks initially swing out before making a turn

Scenario
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1) t = 23.26 s,  x = 8527 m, 2)   t = 97.145 s,  v₀ = 6.4 m / s

Explanation:

1) First Scenario.

After reading your extensive problem, we are going to solve it, for this exercise we must use the parabolic motion relationships. Let's carry out an analysis of the situation, for deliveries the planes fly horizontally and we assume that the wind speed is zero or very small.

Before starting, let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         v₀ = 250 miles/h (5280 ft / 1 mile) (1h / 3600s) = 366.67 ft/s

         y = 2650 m

Let's start by looking for the time it takes for the load to reach the ground.

         y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

in this case when it reaches the ground its height is zero and as the plane flies horizontally the vertical speed is zero

         0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t2

          t = \sqrt{ \frac{2y_o}{g} }

          t = √(2 2650/9.8)

          t = 23.26 s

this is the horizontal scrolling time

          x = v₀ t

          x = 366.67  23.26

          x = 8527 m

the speed at the point of arrival is

         v_y = v_{oy} - g t = 0 - gt

         v_y = - 9.8 23.26

         v_y = -227.95 m / s

Module and angle form

        v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

         v = √(366.67² + 227.95²)

        v = 431.75 m / s

         θ = tan⁻¹ (v_y / vₓ)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (227.95 / 366.67)

         θ = - 31.97º

measured clockwise from x axis

We see that there must be a mechanism to reduce this speed and the merchandise is not damaged.

2) second scenario. A catapult located at the position x₀ = -400m y₀ = -50m with a launch angle of θ = 50º

we look for the components of speed

           cos θ = v₀ₓ / v₀

           sin θ = v_{oy} / v₀

            v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

            v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

we look for the time for the arrival point that has coordinates x = 0, y = 0

            y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

            0 = y₀ + vo sin θ t - ½ g t²

            0 = -50 + vo sin 50 t - ½ 9.8 t²

            x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t

            0 = x₀ + vo cos θ t

            0 = -400 + vo cos 50 t

podemos ver que tenemos un sistema de dos ecuación con dos incógnitas

          50 = 0,766 vo t – 4,9 t²

          400 =   0,643 vo t

resolved

          50 = 0,766 ( \frac{400}{0.643 \ t}) t – 4,9 t²

          50 = 476,52 t – 4,9 t²

          t² – 97,25 t + 10,2 = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

         t = [97.25 ± \sqrt{97.25^2 - 4 \ 10.2}] / 2

         t = 97.25 ±97.04] 2

         t₁ = 97.145 s

         t₂ = 0.1 s≈0

the correct time is t1 the other time is the time to the launch point,

         t = 97.145 s

let's find the initial velocity

         x = x₀ + v₀ cos 50 t

         0 = -400 + v₀ cos 50 97.145

         v₀ = 400 / 62.44

         v₀ = 6.4 m / s
