An airplane is flying horizontally with a speed of 103 km/hr (278 m/s) when it drops a payload. The payload hits the ground 30 s

later. (Neglect air drag and the curvature of the Earth. Take g = 10 m/s².)
At what altitude H is the airplane flying?

Answer:

H = 4500 m

Explanation:

  • Once dropped, the payload moves along a trajectory, that can be decomposed along two directions independent each other.
  • Just by convenience, we choose these directions to be coincident with the horizontal (-x) and vertical (y) axes.
  • As both movements are independent each other due to both are perpendicular, in the vertical direction, the initial speed is 0.
  • So, in order  to find the vertical displacement at any point in time, we can use the following kinematic equation, where a=-g., and H = -Δy.

        H = \frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 10 m/s2*(30s)^{2}   = 4500 m

  • The airpane was flying at a 4500 m altitude.

A 300 g ball and a 600 g ball are connected by a 40-cm-lon massless, rigid rod. The structure rotates about its center of me at
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

 KE = 1.75 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball, m₁ = 300 g = 0.3 Kg

mass of ball 2, m₂ = 600 g = 0.6 Kg

length of the rod = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Angular speed = 100 rpm= 100\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}

                         =10.47\ rad/s

now, finding the position of center of mass of the system

    r₁ + r₂ = 0.4 m.....(1)

 equating momentum about center of mass

  m₁r₁ = m₂ r₂

   0.3 x r₁ = 0.6 r₂

   r₁ = 2 r₂

Putting value in equation 1

2 r₂ + r₂ = 0.4

 r₂ = 0.4/3

 r₁ = 0.8/3

now, calculation of rotational energy

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}I_1\omega^2+\dfrac{1}{2}I_2\omega^2

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\omega^2 (I_1 +I_2)

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\omega^2 (m_1r_1^2 +m_2r^2_2)

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 10.47^2(0.3\times (0.8/3)^2 +0.6\times (0.4/3)^2)

 KE = 1.75 J

the rotational kinetic energy is equal to 1.75 J

How do we find an atom's mass number?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons. Example: Find the atomic mass of an isotope of carbon that has 7 neutrons. You can see from the periodic table that carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is its number of protons.
