It's possible for a determined group of people to pull an aircraft. Drag is negligible at low speeds, and the only force impedin

g motion is the rolling friction of the rubber tires on the concrete runway. In 2000, a team of 60 British police officers set a world record by pulling a Boeing 747, with a mass of 200,000 kg, a distance of 100 m in 53 s. The plane started at rest. Suppose that the Rolling Friction Coefficient = 0.02.
Estimate the force with which each officer pulled on the plane, assuming constant pulling force and constant acceleration.

Answer:

F_o = 890.67 N

Explanation:

initial speed of the aircraft = 0

it covers a distance = 100 m

time taken by it = 53 s

so we will have

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

100 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(53^2)

a = 0.071 m/s^2

now we know that there are two forces on the aircraft

1) applied force in forward direction

2) friction force in opposite direction

so we will have

F - \mu mg = ma

F - (0.02)(200,000)(9.81) = 200,000(0.071)

F = 39,240 + 14,200

F = 53440 N

so net force by 60 officers is 53440 N

so force due to each officer is given as

F_o = \frac{53440}{60} = 890.67 N

If pressure is increased from 200 kPa to 300 kPa, and the original volume of gas was 1.5 L, what is the new volume? Assume the t
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:      V2 = 1 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 200 kPa

P2 = 300 kPa

V1 = 1.5 l

V2 = ?

Formula

                          P1V1 = P2V2

                          V2 = (P1V1) / P2

                          V2 = (200 x 1.5) / 300

                          V2 = 1 l

The function of a cell depends primarily on its ?
Schach [20]
<span>Organelles which are very important in giving nutrients. During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.</span>

Two point charges, 3.4 μC and -2.0 μC , are placed 5.0 cm apart on the x axis. Assume that the negative charge is at the origin,
Elza [17]

The electric field is zero at x = -16.45cm

Data;

  • q1 = 3.4 μC
  • q2 = -2.0 μC
  • distance = 5cm

<h3>The Electric Field at point 0</h3>

As the 3μC is larger than -2.0μC  and the charges are opposite sign. The electric field will be zero at the negative axis.

Let the point be at x.

For an electric field to be equal to zero;

k(\frac{q_1}{d_1})^2 + k(\frac{q_2}{d_2})^2 = 0\\\frac{3.4}{(5-x)^2} - \frac{2}{x^2} = 0\\

Let's solve for x using mathematical methods.

\frac{3.4x^2 - 2(5-x)^2}{(5-x)^2x^2}= 0\\ 3.4x^2 - 2(5-x^2) = 0\\3.4x^2 - 50 - 2x^2 + 20x = 0\\1.4x^2 +20x - 50 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation;

x = -16.45cm

The electric field is zero at x = -16.45cm
