Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.  You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain  the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

A skier descends a mountain at an angle of 35.0º to the horizontal. If the mountain is 235 m long, what are the horizontal and v
neonofarm [45]
Total displacement along the length of mountain is given as
L = 235 m
angle of mountain with horizontal = 35 degree
now we will have horizontal displacement as
x = L cos35
x = 235 cos35 = 192.5 m
similarly for vertical displacement we can say
y = L sin35
y = 235 sin35 = 134.8 m

A. How far does a 100-newton force have to move to do 1,000 joules
Aloiza [94]

Work done by a force is given as the product of force and the distance moved by the force.

<h3>What is work done?</h3>

Work done is the product of force and the distance moved by the the force.

  • Work done = Force × distance

Thus, distance required by the 100 N force is given as:

  • Distance = work done/force

Distance = 1000/100 = 10 m

Distance to be moved is 10 m.

Force applied = work done/ distance

Force applied by the hoist = 500/2

Force applied by the hoist = 250 N

Distance moved in one push-up = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete after one push-up = 250 × 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete = 62.5 J

Distance moved by the force = 0 m

Work done = 500 × 0 = 0 N

Therefore, for work to be done, force has to move a distance.

BRAINLIEST AND MAY DOUBLE POINTS!!!
raketka [301]

Given that:

 Energy of bulb  (Work ) = 30 J,

 Time (t) = 3 sec

The power consumption =  ?

 We know that, Power can be defined as rate of doing work

              Power (P) = Work(Energy supplied) ÷ time

                               = 30 ÷ 3

                              = 10 Watts

<em> The power consumption is 10 W.</em>
