Alex, a rescue piot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 1800.0 m with a forward veloci

ty of 140.0 m/s. A group of lost Antarctica explorers is below on the ground. How far in front of the explorers should Alex drop the supplies?

The kit has position vector with components

x=\left(140.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t

y=1800.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

It would take time t for the kit to reach the ground from freefall:

0=1800.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=19.2\,\mathrm s

It sounds like Alex's plane is 1800 m above the ground, at some (horizontal) distance away from the explorers below, and is heading in their direction. In order to have the kit drop down where the explorers are located, Alex should release the kit at a distance of

x=\left(140.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(19.2\,\mathrm s)\approx2690\,\mathrm m

away from the explorers.

romanna [79]

Answer: 0.00068 N

Explanation: Universal gravitational constant=6.674 *10^(-11)

Force=Gm1m2/(r^2)

Force= 6.67*25000*40000*10^(-11)/(10^2)

Force=0.00068 N

A long, straight wire of radius R carries a steady current I that is uniformly distributed through the cross section of the wire
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a

  When r \ge R

      B =  \frac{ \mu_o *  I}{ 2 \pi r }

b

 When r< R

   B =  [\frac{\mu_o *  I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius is  R  

   The  current is  I

    The  distance from the center

Ampere's law is mathematically represented as

       B[2 \pi r]  =  \mu_o  *  \frac{I r^2  }{R^2 }

      B =  \frac{ \mu_o}{2 \pi }  *  \frac{r}{R^2}

When r \ge R

=>     B =  \frac{ \mu_o *  I}{ 2 \pi r }

But when r< R

   B =  [\frac{\mu_o *  I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r

A 1kg ball is dropped (from rest) 100m onto a spring with spring constant 125N/m. How much does the spring compress?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

3.95 m

Explanation:

m = 1 kg, h = 100 m, k = 125 N/m

Let the spring is compressed by y.

Use the conservation of energy

potential energy of the mass is equal to the energy stored in the spring

m x g x h = 1/2 x ky^2

1 x 9.8 x 100 = 0.5 x 125 x y^2

y^2 = 15.68

y = 3.95 m

A boy weighs 40 kilograms. He runs at a velocity of 4 meters per second north. Which is his momentum?
Artist 52 [7]
The formula for momentum is mass times velocity. Simply, we just multiply the given values:
p = mv
p = 40 kg x 4 m/s
p = 160 kg m/s

Other units for momentum is N s.
p = 160 N s
