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:
The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵N
(b) the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.
Explanation:
Given;
cross-sectional area of the man, A = 0.500m²
intensity of light, I = 35.5kW/m²
If all the incident light were absorbed, the pressure of the incident light on the man can be calculated as follows;
P = I/c
where;
P is the pressure of the incident light
I is the intensity of the incident light
c is the speed of light
F = PA
where;
F is the force of the incident light on the man
P is the pressure of the incident light on the man
A is the cross-sectional area of the man
F = 1.18 x 10⁻⁴ x 0.5 = 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N
The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N
Therefore, the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.
Answer:
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force exerted between two bodies of masses
and
and separated by a distance
is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:
(1)
Where:
is the Gravitational Constant and its value is
is the mass of the Sun
is the mass of the Earth
is the distance between the Sun and the Earth
Substituting the values in (1):
(2)
Finally:
This is the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun
<u><em>The question doesn't provide enough data to be solved, but I'm assuming some magnitudes to help you to solve your own problem</em></u>
Answer:
<em>The maximum height is 0.10 meters</em>
Explanation:
<u>Energy Transformation</u>
It's referred to as the change of one energy from one form to another or others. If we compress a spring and then release it with an object being launched on top of it, all the spring (elastic) potential energy is transformed into kinetic and gravitational energies. When the object stops in the air, all the initial energy is now gravitational potential energy.
If a spring of constant K is compressed a distance x, its potential energy is
When the launched object (mass m) reaches its max height h, all that energy is now gravitational, which is computed as
We have then,
Solving for h
We have little data to work on the problem, so we'll assume some values to answer the question and help to solve the problem at hand
Let's say: x=0.2 m (given), K=100 N/m, m=2 kg
Computing the maximum height
The maximum height is 0.10 meters
