Let's call

the mass of the glider and

the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string.
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:

For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is

) and the acceleration a:

So, if we equalize the two equations, we get

and from this we can find the acceleration:
Answer:
La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².
Explanation:
Un movimiento uniformemente acelerado (M.U.A) es aquél cuya aceleración es constante y la velocidad de un objeto cambia a medida que el movimiento evoluciona.
Siendo la aceleración "a" el cambio de velocidad al tiempo transcurrido en un punto A a B, la velocidad inicial la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al iniciar su movimiento en un período de tiempo y la velocidad final la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al finalizar su movimiento en un período de tiempo, entonces en M.U.A se cumple:
Vf² - Vo² = 2*a*d
donde:
- Vf: Velocidad final
- Vo: Velocidad inicial
- a: Aceleración
- d: Distancia recorrida
En este caso:
- Vf: 0 m/s, porque el avión se detiene
- Vo: 50 m/s
- a: ?
- d: 120 m
Reemplazando:
(0 m/s)² - (50 m/s)² = 2*a*120 m
Resolviendo:

a= - 10.42 m/s²
<u><em>La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².</em></u>
The thermal efficiency of an engine is

where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work
In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is

So the power output is

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.
2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.
Answer:
v = 3.84 m/s
Explanation:
In order for the riders to stay pinned against the inside of the drum the frictional force on them must be equal to the centripetal force:

where,
v = minimum speed = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
r = radius = 10 m
μ = coefficient of friction = 0.15
Therefore,

<u>v = 3.84 m/s</u>
