The difference b/w the displacement and total distance traveled is 4km.

Explanation.

▪ total distance - displacement

= 17 km - 13 km

= 4 km...answer

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:

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

Which sphere is NOT a part of the cycling of oxygen through Earths systems ?

stepan [7]

The answer would be Exosphere because, there are 3 main regions that circulate oxygen through the Earths system, which are the Biosphere, Atmosphere, and the Lithosphere.

Write down the effect of humidity and temperature on the speed of sound.

finlep [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.

The barrel of a rifle has a length of 0.855 m. A bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 553 m/s. What is the accele

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Acceleration of the bullet will be 1778835.6 $m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given length of the barrel refile s= 0.855 m

When the bullet leaves the muzzle its velocity is 553 m/sec

So final velocity v = 553 m/sec

Initial velocity will be 0 that is u = 0 m/sec

According to third equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2as$

$553^2=0^2+2\times a\times 0.855$

$a=178835.6m/sec^2$

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown. A man pushes on a door from the left. A woman pushes on the door

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The door will move when the forces exerted by each individual becomes unbalanced.

Explanation:

The Door will only move when the forces exerted by each of the individual is unbalanced i.e. when the Torque is unbalanced

This is because there will only be a reaction or movement of an object when the applied force > resistant force acting on the object.

example : An object at rest will only move when the applied force is greater than the frictional forces acting on the object at rest.
