Answer:

-100000 N.

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and it's acceleration. The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N). The Formula of force is given as,

F = ma ........................... Equation 1

Where F = Average force exerted on the car, m = mass of the car, acceleration of the car, a = acceleration of the car.

a = (v-u)/t..................... Equation 2

Where v = Final velocity, u = Initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............. Equation 3

Given: m = 1500 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s (brought to rest), t = 0.3 s.

Substitute into equation 3

F = 1500(0-20)/0.3

F = 1500(-20)/0.3

F = -100000 N.

Note: The negative sign is due to the fact that the force exerted on the car by the pole is equal and opposite the force of the car.

When flying the LNAV approach, the missed approach point (MAP) would be indicated by reaching __________. A. an altitude of 3100
frutty [35]

Answer:

When flying the LNAV Approach, the missed approach point (MAP) would be indicated by reaching:

C. the RW30 waypoint.

Explanation:

  • In Aviation, LNAV stands for Lateral Navigation. The option a is incorrect as an altitude of 3100 feet refers to the decision altitude not the missed approach point.
  • The option b is incorrect as a distance of 1.5 NM  to RW30 referring to the Visual descent point (VDP) is 1.5 nautical miles for the Runway (RW) 30 from threshold.
  • The option c is correct as Missed approach point is designed to coincide with the runway threshold. The RW 30 way point is referring to the way point to the threshold for the Runway 30.

The answer is <span>C. 49 m/s

The kinetic equation is:
v2 = v1 + a * t

v1 - initial velocity
v2 - final velocity
a - gravitational acceleration
t - time

We know:
v2 = ?
v1 = 0 (in free fall
a = 9.8 m/s
t = 5

</span>v2 = v1 + a * t
v2 = 0 + 9.8 * 5
v2 = 0 + 49
v2 = 49 m/s
