The situation is exactly the same as YOUR speed relative to the seat you're sitting in, aboard the passenger jet flying at 500 mph with you in it.

The dummy is moving with a speed 0 km/h relative to the seat in which it is sitting.

If the relative speed was non-zero, the dummy would move away from its seat, which contradicts the problem formulation.

A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes
OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

y(t) = 0

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s

So the horizontal distance travelled is

d=v_x t

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km

Describe how thermal energy is transferred​
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Thermal energy typically flows from a warmer material to a cooler material. Generally, when thermal energy is transferred to a material, the motion of its particles speeds up and its temperature increases. There are three methods of thermal energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
