Answer

given,

tourist travels = 1500 miles

second plane averages 50 miles per hour faster than the first plane.

x = y + 50

The tourist uses the slower plane for the first 500 and the faster plane for the next 1000 miles.

total flying time = 6.5 hours

\dfrac{500}{y} + \dfrac{1000}{x} = 6.5

\dfrac{500}{y} + \dfrac{1000}{y + 50} = 6.5

\dfrac{500(50 + y)+ 1000 y}{y(y + 50)} = 6.5

25000 + 600 y = 6.5 y^2 + 325 y

6.5 y^2 - 275 y - 25000 = 0

on solving equation

y = 86.67 mile/hr

x = 86.67 + 50

x = 136.67 mile/hr

Newer aircraft jet catapult systems use magnets instead of steam. The launch still takes 1.19 seconds, but the acceleration is a
Westkost [7]

Answer:

33.6 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 47.41 m/s²

t = 1.19 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (1.19 s) + ½ (47.41 m/s²) (1.19 s)²

Δx = 33.6 m

A drone is flying horizontally when it runs out of battery and begins to free fall from 20m. No drag. If it lands 60m away (in t
rewona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

At the time it takes to drop 20 m is the same time it takes to travel 60 m horizontally.

Givens

h = 20 m

hd = 60 m

g = 9.81

vi = 0

Formula

d = vi*t + 1/2 a * t^2                  We are solving for t

Solution

When the battery fails, the vertical initial velocity is 0. So we have to find the time it would take to drop 20 meters

d = 0*t + 1/2 * 9.81 a* t^2

20 = 4.91 * t^2                          Divide by 4.91

20/4.91 = 4.91 t^2 / 4.91    

4.073 = t^2                              Take the square root of both sides.

t = 2.02 seconds

Horizontal

d = 60 m

t = 2.02 seconds

v = ?

Note: there is no horizontal deceleration or acceleration

v = d/t

v = 60/2.02

Answer: v = 29.73 m/s

Molodets [167]

You are true, Stokey.  The correct choice is<em> (c)</em>.

If you think about it a little bit more, you'll realize that "side to side" is also a horizontal motion.  

Anyway, the question told us that we're only talking about 2 dimensions.  Well, the The measurements in the 2 dimensions are the x and the y .  If there were a z measurement, that would be the 3rd dimension.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It has the least potential energy at the bottom of its circular path.

Explanation:

It has the least potential energy at the bottom of its circular path.

Remember the equation

U = m*g*h

where U is the potential energy

m is the mass of the yo-yo

h is the height
