Ashley is flying a plane that has to reach a gradient of 360m/km in order to take off and not crash. Her goal is to travel from

sea level to an elevation of 1000m at a distance of 2.8km. Calculate the gradient of Ashley’s flight and determine if she will crash!

Answer:

She is likely to crash because her flight gradient is lesser than the flight gradient required gradient to avoid crashing

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The required gradient of the plane Ashley is flying needs to reach in order to take off and not crash = 360 m/km

The initial elevation of the plane Ashley is flying = Sea level = 0 m

The goal Ashley intends to make = Elevation of 1000 m at 2.8 km. distance

∴ Ashley's goal = Traveling from sea level to 1000 m at 2.8 km horizontal distance

We have;

The gradient  = Rate of change of elevation/(Horizontal distance)

Therefore;

The gradient of Ashley's flight = (1000 - 0)/(2.8 - 0) = 357.143 m/km

The gradient of Ashley's flight ≈ 357.143 m/km which is lesser than the required 360 m/km in order to take off and not crash, therefore, she will crash.

What is meant by the statement,the linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature of copper is 0.000017k

Explanation:

Given that :

The linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k. This simply means that ; for a given copper length, the length of such copper will increase by 0.000017k for every degree rose in temperature of the copper rod.

Therefore, the change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature (k) is 0.000017

A particle with charge 3.01 µC on the negative x axis and a second particle with charge 6.02 µC on the positive x axis are each
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The third particle should be at 0.0743 m from the origin on the negative x-axis.

Explanation:

Let's assume that the third charge is on the negative x-axis. So we have:

E_{1}+E_{3}-E_{2}=0

We know that the electric field is:

E=k\frac{q}{r^{2}}

Where:

  • k is the Coulomb constant
  • q is the charge
  • r is the distance from the charge to the point

So, we have:

k\frac{q_{1}}{r_{1}^{2}}+k\frac{q_{3}}{r_{3}^{2}}-k\frac{q_{2}}{r_{2}^{2}}=0

Let's solve it for r(3).

\frac{3.01}{0.0429^{2}}+\frac{9.03}{r_{3}^{2}}-\frac{6.02}{0.0429^{2}}=0

r_{3}=0.0743\:  

Therefore, the third particle should be at 0.0743 m from the origin on the negative x-axis.

I hope it helps you!

a person was using a spanner to loosen a tight nut.Their mass was 50kg the spanner was 0.5m long i) what is the persons weight?
sineoko [7]

1) Weight of the person: 490 N

2) Maximum torque: 245 Nm

Explanation:

1)

The weight of a body is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the body; it is given by the equation

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the person in this problem,

m = 50 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface

Therefore, the weight of the person is

F=(50)(9.8)=490 N

2)

The turning force (also called torque) exerted by a force rotating an object is given by

\tau = Fd sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the length of the arm (the distance between the force and the pivotal point)

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the arm

For the spanner in this problem,

F = 490 N is the force applied (the weight of the person)

d = 0.5 m is the arm (the length of the spanner)

The maximum torque is obtained when \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore it is:

\tau=(490)(0.5)(sin 90^{\circ})=245 N\cdot m

A stone takes 5.4 seconds to fall from the top of a cliff. The cliff is
Allushta [10]

Answer:

143

Explanation:

Using one of the 3 fundamental equations in physics, y=vo*t+1/2gt^2, we can use this equation to find the total distance that was traveled.

Acceleration due to gravity is always 9.8m/s^2 and time is 5.4s, we also have no initial velocity.

Given this, we can plug in the known variables.

y=0t+1/2*9.8*5^2

simplify,

y=4.9*5.4^2

y=4.9*29.16

y=142.884m which we can round up to 143 meters

Final Answer: 143 meters
