Answer:

Acceleration of the ship, a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both ships, m=39000\ metric\ tons=39\times 10^6\ kg

Distance between two ships, d = 110 m

The gravitational force between two ships is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m^2}{d^2}

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times \dfrac{(39\times 10^6\ kg)^2}{(110\ m)^2}

F = 8.38 N

Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{8.38\ N}{39\times 10^6\ kg}

a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is 2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

"4.What determines how many figures are significant in reported measurement values? What
MAXImum [283]

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

<h3>What is significant figure?</h3>

The term significant figures refers to the number of important single digits in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation.

Significant figures are the digits in a value that are known with some degree of confidence.

The effect of reporting more or fewer figures or digits than are significant;

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

As precision of a measurement increases, so does the number of significant figures.

A child throws a ball vertically upward to a friend on a balcony 28 m above him. The friend misses the ball on its upward flight
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

t=1.9 sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h=28m

Time t=3s

Generally the Newton's equation for Initial velocity upward is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frtac{1}{2}at^2

 28=3u-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*3^2

 u=24.03m/s

Generally the velocity at  elevation and depression occurs  as ball arrives and passes through S=28

 v=\sqrt{24.03-2*9.8*28}

 v=5.35m/s and -5.35m/s

Generally the Newton's equation for time to reach initial velocity  is mathematically given by

 v=u+at

 5.35=24.03-9.8t

 t=\frac{28.03-5.35}{9.8}

 t=1.9 sec

the idling engines of a landing turbojet produce forward thrust when operating in a normal manner, but they can produce reverse
Finger [1]

Forward thrust has positive values and reverse thrust has negative values.

Thrust is a sudden push or pull in a certain direction.

a)

Flight speed u = 150 km/h

1 km/h = \frac{1}{3.6} km/s

therefore, 150 km/h =  41.67 km / s

The thrust force represents the horizontal or x-component of momentum equation:

T = m_{exhaust} * U_{exhaust} - U_{flight}

T = 50 * (150 - 41.67)

T = 5416.67 N

Therefore, the value of forward thrust is 5416.67 N.

b)

Now the exhaust velocity is now vertical due to reverse thrust application, then it has a zero horizontal component,

thus thrust equation is:

T = m_{exhaust} * U_{exhaust} - U_{flight}

T = 50 * (0 - 41.67)

T = -2083.5 N

Therefore, the thrust force T is -2083.5 N in the reverse direction.

c)

Now the exhaust velocity and flight velocity is zero, then it has a zero horizontal component, thus thrust is also zero becauseU_{exhaust} = U_{flight} = 0\\

T = 0

Therefore, there is no difference in two velocities in x direction.

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is,

"The idling engines of a landing turbojet produce forward thrust when operating in a normal manner, but they can produce reverse thrust if the jet is properly deflected. Suppose that while the aircraft rolls down the runway at 150 km/h the idling engine consumes air at 50 kg/s and produces an exhaust velocity of 150 m/s.

a. What is the forward thrust of this engine?

b. What are the magnitude and direction (i.e., forward or reverse) if the exhaust is deflected 90 degree without affecting the mass flow?

c. What are the magnitude and direction of the thrust (forward or reverse) after the plane has come to a stop, with 90 degree exhaust deflection and an airflow of 40 kg/s?"

11) A man is on a 1/4 on a bridge. A train is coming the same direction he is going. The man can run across the bridge in the sa
lesya692 [45]

15mph

If the man turns and runs toward point A, he will cover

3/8 of the length of the bridge in the time that it takes

the train to reach A.

If the man runs forward toward point B, what part of the bridge

will he cover before the train reaches A? Well, he will cover

3/8 of the bridge, only heading forward toward B. This will put

him 3/8 + 3/8 = 6/8 = 3/4 of the way across the bridge by the

time the train reaches A.

since we know that the man and the train will meet at B, this

means that in the time it takes the man to run the remaining

1/4 of the bridge, the train will cover the entire length of

the bridge.

If it takes the man the same time to cover 1/4 of the bridge

that it takes the train to cover the whole bridge, then the train

must be going four times as fast as the man. Another way of saying

this is that the man runs at 1/4 the speed of the train.  

Since the train's speed is known to be 60 mph, this means that

the man runs at (1/4) 60 = 15 mph.
