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

An electron with a charge of -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs experiences a field of 1.4 × 105 newtons/coulomb. What is the magnitude of th
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Electric force, F=2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on an electron is -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Electric field, E=1.4\times 10^5\ N/m

We need to find the magnitude of the electric force on this electron due to this field. The electric force is given by :

F=qE\\\\F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.4\times 10^5\\\\F=2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N

So, the electric force is 2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N.

Cuales son las diferencias entre el helio y el hidrógeno?
allsm [11]

El helio es más ligero que el aire y a diferencia del hidrógeno no es inflamable, siendo además su poder ascensional un 8 % menor que el de este, por lo que se emplea como gas de relleno en globos y zepelines publicitarios, de investigación atmosférica e incluso para realizar reconocimientos militares.espero ke esto ayude!

Is the magnitude of the acceleration of the center of mass of spool A greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The acceleration of the centre of mass of spool A is equal to the magnitude of the acceleration of the centre of mass of spool B.

Explanation:

From the image attached, the description from the complete question shows that the two spools are of equal masses (same weight due to same acceleration due to gravity), have the same inextensible wire with negligible mass is attached to both of them over a frictionless pulley; meaning that the tension in the wire is the same on both ends.

And for the acceleration of both spools, we mention the net force.

The net force acting on a body accelerates the body in the same direction as that in which the resultant is applied.

For this system, the net force on either spool is exactly the same in magnitude because the net force is a difference between the only two forces acting on the spools; the tension in the wire and their similar respective weights.

With the net force and mass, for each spool equal, from

ΣF = ma, we get that a = ΣF/m

Meaning that the acceleration of the identical spools is equal also.

Hope this Helps!
