Answer:

31.905 ft/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the pilot, m = 120 lb

Weight of the pilot, w = 119 lbf

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.05 ft/s²

Local acceleration of gravity of found by using the relation

Weight in lbf = Mass in lb * (local acceleration/32.174 lbft/s²)

119 = 120 * a/32. 174

119 * 32.174 = 120a

a = 3828.706 / 120

a = 31.905 ft/s²

Therefore, the local acceleration due to gravity at that elevation is 31.905 ft/s²

Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes the
leonid [27]

Answer:

KE_A=33\ J

KE_B=99\ J

Explanation:

Given:

Let mass of the particle B be, m_B=m

then the mass of particle A, m_A=3m

Energy stored in the compressed spring, E=132\ J

Now when the compression of the particles with the spring is released, the spring potential energy must get converted into the kinetic energy of the particles and their momentum must be conserved.

Kinetic energy:

\frac{1}{2}m_A.v_A^2+\frac{1}{2}m_B.v_B^2=132

3m.v_A^2+m.v_B^2=264 .............................(1)

<u>Using the conservation of linear momentum:</u>

m_A.v_A+m_B.v_B=0

3m.v_A+m.v_B=0 .............................(2)

Put the value of v_A from eq. (2) into eq. (1)

3m\times (\frac{-v_B}{3})^2+m.v_B^2=264

v_B^2=\frac{198}{m}  ...........................(3)

<u>Now the kinetic energy of particle B:</u>

KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times m_B\times v_B^2

KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times \frac{198}{m}

KE_B=99\ J

Put the value of v_B^2 form eq. (3) into eq. (1):

v_A^2=\frac{22}{m}

<u>Now the kinetic energy of particle A:</u>

<u />KE_A=\frac{1}{2}m_A.v_A^2<u />

<u />KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times 3m\times \frac{22}{m}<u />

KE_A=33\ J

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. the eastbound train travels at 95 miles per
marissa [1.9K]
The east bound train travels at a speed of 95 mile per hour and the west bound train at 75 miles per hour.
Assuming eastbound train will cover distance x then the west bound train will cover distance 272-x .
Therefore, since time taken will be the same then; x/95 = (272-x)/75
          = 75x = 95 (272-x)
          = 75x = 25840 - 95x
          = 170 x= 25840
                     x = 152 miles
Thus time taken will either be x/95 or (272-x)/75
           = 152/95
           = 1.6 hours or 1 hour 36 minutes
