Plate tectonicss a property of the behavior of systems, plates, that are far from fundamental, like particles. So any statement about them is a theory.

A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes
OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

y(t) = 0

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s

So the horizontal distance travelled is

d=v_x t

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km

What is the term for substances that have several unpaired electrons and are strongly magnetic
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Scientific definitions for ferromagnetic

The property of being strongly attracted to either pole of a magnet. Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, contain unpaired electrons, each with a small magnetic field of its own, that align readily with each other in response to an external magnetic field.

A skier of mass 60 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30° slop
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination(\theta )=30^{\circ}

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

F_{net}=0

Force applied by cable=mg\sin \theta

F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N

work done=F\cdot x

W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J

(b)Power=F\cdot v

P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp
