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

A wire of radius R has a current I uniformly distributed across its cross-sectional area. Ampere's law is used with a concentric
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Please refer to the figure.

Explanation:

The crucial point here is to calculate the enclosed current. If the current I is flowing through the whole cross-sectional area of the wire, the current density is

J = \frac{I}{\pi R^2}

The current density is constant for different parts of the wire. This idea is similar to that of the density of a glass of water is equal to the density of a whole bucket of water.

So,

J = \frac{I}{\pi R^2} = \frac{I_{enc}}{\pi r^2}\\I_{enc} = \frac{Ir^2}{R^2}

This enclosed current is now to be used in Ampere’s Law.

\mu_o I_{enc} = \int {B} \, dl

Here, \int \, dl represents the circular path of radius r. So we can replace the integral with the circumference of the path, 2\pi r.

As a result, the magnetic field is

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2\pi}\frac{Ir}{R^2}

How much would a 15.0 kg object weigh on Neptune?
yan [13]
The gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s²
the gravity on earth is 9.81 m/s²
divide the Neptune and earth gravity we get 1.13
which means object on neptune is 1.13 heavier than earth
yield, weigh of the object on neptune is 1.13×15=17.04kg

The general kinematic equations of motion for vertical displacement can also be simplified significantly. Write the simplified
Setler [38]

Answer:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

Explanation:

The general kinematic equation for horizontal displacement is gives as:

Δx = v₀t + (1/2)at²

Where

Δx = change in the x direction

v₀ = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

If the body is vertically instead of horizontally, Δx is changed to Δy

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)at²

For a vertical moving body, the acceleration it experiences is the gravitational accerelation of the earth 'g'

So the equation becomes:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards
