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

Suppose the collision between the packages is perfectly elastic. To what height does the package of mass m rebound?
Hitman42 [59]

The height, h to which the package of mass m bounces to depends on its initial velocity, v and the acceleration due to gravity, g and is given below:

h = \frac{v^{2}}{2g}

<h3>What are perfectly elastic collision?</h3>

Perfectly elastic collisions are collisions in which the momentum as well as the energy of the colliding bodies is conserved.

In perfectly elastic collisions, the sum of momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision.

Also, the sum of kinetic energy before collision is equal to the sum of kinetic energy after collision.

Since some of the Kinetic energy is converted to potential energy of the body;

\frac{mv^{2}}{2} = mgh

h = \frac{v^{2}}{2g}

Therefore, the height to which the package m bounces to depends on its initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity.

What happens to the object if the line crosses the x-axis from the positive portion of a velocity versus time diagram?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A velocity time graph shows the change of velocity of an object with respect ot time. If the slope of the graph is increasing in the postive region, it means that the velocity is changing, if the slope is decreasing, it means the the velocity is decreasing, but the object is moving in the same direction (positve direction).

If this slope intersects the graph at x-axis, it means that the body has 0 velocity and has become still. After that, if the line enters in the negative region, it means that its velocity is started to increases again, but the body is movinging in the opposite direction (negative direction)
