Answer:

(a) Angle is 42.865°

(b) t=12.54s

Explanation:

The jet plane is at 5870m from Earth surface

The jet traveling at speed of 1.47 Mach

Speed of Sound v=343 m/s

Part (a)

As we know :

Sin\alpha =\frac{v}{vs}\\

Substitute the given values

Sin\alpha =\frac{v}{1.47v}\\ Sin\alpha =\frac{343m/s}{1.47(343m/s)} \\Sin\alpha =0.68027\\\alpha =Sin^{-1}(0.68027)\\\alpha  =42.865^{o}

Angle is 42.865°

Part (b)

As the distance given as:

d=vst

By using some trigonometry

d=\frac{h}{tan\alpha }

Where h is the height of jet plane

Thus

t=\frac{h}{tan\alpha } \frac{1}{vs}

Substitute the given values

So

t=\frac{5870m}{tan(42.865)}\frac{1}{1.47(343m/s)}  \\t=12.54s

A runner starts from rest and attains a speed of 8.00ft/s after 2.00s. What's the runner's acceleration? (keep the answer in ft/
arlik [135]

Answer:

4 ft/s^2

Explanation:

If the velocity is 8ft/s after 2s then to find the acceleration you would use the formula:

\frac{v_f - v_{i} {}}{t} =a

sooooooooo

\frac{8 ft/s - 0 ft/s }{2 s} = \frac{8 ft/s }{2 s} = 4 ft/s^{2}

What is the importance of time ?
lesantik [10]
I think that the importance of time is to allow there to be order. People need to be somewhere at a certain time and not just whenever they want. It allows people to get things done more efficiently. <span />

The desperate contestants on a TV survival show are very hungry. The only food they can see is some fruit hanging on a branch hi
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a) v = 18.86 m / s, b)  h = 8.85 m

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use the conservation of energy relations.

Starting point. Like the compressed spring

          Em₀ = K_e + U = ½ k x² + m g x

the zero of the datum is placed at the point of the uncompressed spring

Final point. With the spring if compress

           Em_f = K = ½ m v²

how energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          ½ k x² + m g x = ½ m v²

   

           v² = \frac{k}{m}  x² + 2gx

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          m = 500 g = 0.500 kg

          x = -45 cm = -0.45 m

the negative sign is because the distance in below zero of the reference frame

       

let's calculate

           v² = \frac{900}{0.500}  0.45² + 2 9.8 (- 0.45)

           v = √355.68

           v = 18.86 m / s

b) For this part we use the conservation of energy with the same initial point and as an end point at the point where the rock stops

           Em_f = U = m g h

           Em₀ = Em_f

            ½ k x²2 + m g x = m g h

            h = ½  \frac{k}{g}   x² + x

let's calculate

           h = \frac{1}{2} \ \frac{900}{9.8 } \ 0.45^2 - 0.45

           h = 8.85 m

measured from the point where the spring is uncompressed
