At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A plane flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v

= 239 m/s. Upon landing, the plane can produce an average deceleration of a = 16.5 m/s².
How long will it take the plane to circle the Earth at the equator?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. From there we will define the distance as the circumference of the earth (approximate as a sphere). With the speed given in the statement we will simply clear the equations below and find the time.

R= 6370*10^3 m

v = 239m/s

a = 16.5m/s^2

The circumference of the earth would be

\phi = 2\pi R

Velocity is defined as,

v = \frac{x}{t}

t = \frac{x}{v}

Here x = \phi, then

t = \frac{\phi}{v} = \frac{2\pi (6370*10^3)}{239}

t = 167463.97s

Therefore will take 167463.97 s or 1 day 22 hours 31 minutes and 3.97seconds

In a closed system, a cart with a mass of 1.5 kg is rolling to the right at 1.4 m/s, while another cart of mass 1.0 kg is rollin
bija089 [108]

Answer: The correct option is (c.).

Explanation:

Mass of the cart A= 1.5 kg

Velocity of Cart A = 1.4 m/s towards right

Mass of the cart B = 1.0 kg

Velocity of Cart B = 1.4 m/s towards left

Momentum (P)= Mass × Velocity

P_A=1.5 kg\times 1.4 m/s=2.1 kg m/s

P_B=1.0 kg\times (-1.4m/s)=-1.4 kg m/s

(Negative sign means velocity of the cart is in opposite direction of that of the cart A)

Total Momentum =P_A+P_B=2.10 kg m/s-1.40 kg m/s=0.70 kg m/s

Hence, the correct option is (c.).

Por una resistencia de 10 Ω fluyen 5A. ¿Cuál será la diferencia de potencial que se le debe aplicar a la resistencia?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

V = 50 volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance, R = 10 ohms

Current, I = 5 A

We need to find the potential difference across the circuit. We know that,

V = IR

Put all the values,

V = 5 × 10

V = 50 volts

Hence, the potential difference is equal to 50 volts.
