A plane was traveling from Florida to Montreal. It flew for 4 hours and went 1,895 miles. What was its speed?

Physics
1 answer:
Contact [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

473.8miles/hr

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of flight  = 4hrs

Distance traveled  = 1895miles

Unknown:

Speed of the plane  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of distance covered per unit of time.

It is expressed as:

        Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}  

So;

  Speed  = \frac{1895}{4}   = 473.8miles/hr

Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the energy levels of n1 and n2 are high, the difference of their energy level will tend to zero thereby making the energy of the emitted photons very low.

A rocket is fired straight up. It contains two stages (Stage 1 and Stage 2) of solid rocket fuel that are designed to burn for 1
Archy [21]

Answer:

a)  y= 3.5 10³ m, b)   t = 64 s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use the vertical launch kinematics equation

Stage 1

          y₁ = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

          y₁ = 0 + 0 + ½ a₁ t²

Let's calculate

         y₁ = ½ 16 10²

         y₁ = 800 m

At the end of this stage it has a speed

        v₁ = vo + a₁ t₁

        v₁ = 0 + 16 10

        v₁ = 160 m / s

Stage 2

        y₂ = y₁ + v₁ (t-t₀) + ½ a₂ (t-t₀)²

        y₂ = 800 + 150 5 + ½ 11 5²

        y₂ = 1092.5 m

Speed ​​is

        v₂ = v₁ + a₂ t

        v₂ = 160 + 11 5

        v₂ = 215 m / s

The rocket continues to follow until the speed reaches zero (v₃ = 0)

         v₃² = v₂² - 2 g y₃

         0 = v₂² - 2g y₃

         y₃ = v₂² / 2g

         y₃ = 215²/2 9.8

         y₃ = 2358.4 m

The total height is

          y = y₃ + y₂

          y = 2358.4 + 1092.5

          y = 3450.9 m

           y= 3.5 10³ m

b) Flight time is the time to go up plus the time to go down

Let's look for the time of stage 3

          v₃ = v₂ - g t₃

          v₃ = 0

          t₃ = v₂ / g

          t₃ = 215 / 9.8

          t₃ = 21.94 s

The time to climb is

          t_{s} = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

          t_{s} = 10+ 5+ 21.94

          t_{s} = 36.94 s

The time to descend from the maximum height is

          y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

When it starts to slow down it's zero

         y = - ½ g t_{b}²

         t_{b}  = √-2y / g

         

        t_{b} = √(- 2 (-3450.9) /9.8)

        t_{b} = 26.54 s

Flight time is the rise time plus the descent date

        t = t_{s} + t_{b}

        t = 36.94 + 26.54

        t =63.84 s

        t = 64 s

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 0.10 km high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 65 m horizontally
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

height of building = 0.1 km

ball strikes horizontally to ground at = 65 m    

speed at which the ball strike = ?

vertical velocity  = 0 m/s

time at which the ball strike

s = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 100}{9.8}}

t = 4.53 s

vertical velocity at the time  4.53 s = g × t = 9.8 × 4.53 = 44.39 m/s

horizontal velocity = \dfrac{65}{4.53} =14.35 m/s

speed of the ball = \sqrt{44.39^2+14.35^2}

                             = 46.65 m/s

hence, the speed of the ball just before it strike the ground = 47 m/s

The correct answer is option B

You have two windlasses (winches) named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are
Blababa [14]

You have two windlasses  named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are hoisting a 50kg weight, Hence, X will lift faster and easier than Y

<h3>What is windlasses (winches) will lift faster?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Torque is  mathematically given as

Torque(X)=weight x radius of drum

T=50x9.81x0.25

T=122.625 Nm

For, Torque (Y)

T=50x9.81x0.375

T=183.93 Nm

Generally, the equation for the Equation of Power is  mathematically given as

P= Torque * Angular velocity

Angular velocity (w)= 2 x pi x N/60

As a consequence, torque has an inverse relationship to speed. Because of this, the torque will decrease as the speed rises.

According to the previous statement, windlass X has a speed of lift that is at its maximum, but windlass Y has a speed that is very low.

Additionally, power is exactly proportional to torque, which means that the highest possible torque required the highest possible amount of energy and vice versa.

Therefore, X should raise at the highest possible speed while using the least amount of energy.

In conclusion, X will lift faster and easier than Y
