Small-plane pilots regularly compete in "message drop" competitions, dropping heavy weights (for which air resistance can be ign

ored) from their low-flying planes and scoring points for having the weights land close to a target. A plane 55m above the ground is flying directly toward a target at 48m/s .A)At what distance from the target should the pilot drop the weight?Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

It should be dropped from 160.80m

Explanation:

To calculate the time it takes the weight to reach the ground from 55m we need to consider that the only acceleration applied to it is the gravity, the height at any time t can be calculate as:

Y=Y_{0}+Vy_{0}*t-1/2*g*t^{2}

If we consider that it starts from Y_{0}=55m to reach Y=0, and that the initial velocity on the vertical axis equals zero:

0=55m-1/2*g*t^{2}

solving for t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{55m*2}{g} } =\sqrt{\frac{110m}{9.8m/s^{2} } }=3.35s

Now to calculate the horizontal distance from the target:

X=X_{0}+Vx_{0}*t-1/2*a*t^{2}

We have to consider that:

It will travel from X_{0}=0m (we set the reference on the dropping point so the result X will be de needed distance;

As the air resistance can be ignored there is no force on the horizontal direction, a=0;

The starting velocity Vx_{0} is the same of the plane velocity

It will be traveling for a time t calculated before;

replacing this on the equation:

X=48m/s*3.35s=160.80m

Q10. Explain the Retention time, in GC. What will happen to retention time, if you increase the detector temperature
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The detector temperature doesn't affect retention time

Explanation:

Retention time is one of the chromatographic parameters. Is defined as the time of a compound spends from injection to detection.

A solute in GC is added to the injector where is volatilized. When volatilized, it pass through a column until the detector.

The detector temperature doesn't affect retention time. To change retention time you must change injector temperature or column temperature. An increase in column or injector temperature results in a decrease in retention time.

Which two variables must be kept constant during this experiment?​
zloy xaker [14]

The number of molecules and the temperature must be kept constant.

Boyle's law is a gas law that states that a gas's pushing force (when it is of a certain mass and maintained at a constant temperature) is in direct opposition to the volume that it occupies. As a result, as long as the temperature and volume of the gas are maintained constant, the pressing factor and volume of the gas are incongruously comparable to one another.

V ∝ 1/P

V = K/P

PV = K

Therefore, the temperature will be the constant variable in Boyle's law. Even though it is the only constant factor, volume, temperature, and pressing factor are all in direct opposition to one another.
