An airplane traveling 919 m above the ocean at 505 m/s is to drop a case of twinkies to the victims below. How much time before

being directly overhead should the box be dropped? What is the horizontal distance between the plane and the victims when the box is dropped?

Answer:

a. 13.7 s b. 6913.5 m

Explanation:

a. How much time before being directly overhead should the box be dropped?

Since the box falls under gravity we use the equation

y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of plane above ocean = 919 m, u = initial vertical velocity of airplane = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² and t = time it takes the airplane to be directly overhead.

So,

y = ut - 1/2gt²

y = 0 × t - 1/2gt²

y = 0 - 1/2gt²

y = - 1/2gt²

t² = -2y/g

t = √(-2y/g)

So, t = √(-2 × 919 m/-9.8 m/s²)

t = √(-1838 m/-9.8 m/s²)

t = √(187.551 m²/s²)

t = 13.69 s

t ≅ 13.7 s

So, the box should be dropped 13.69 s before being directly overhead.

b. What is the horizontal distance between the plane and the victims when the box is dropped?

The horizontal distance x between plane and victims, x = speed of plane × time it takes for box to drop = 505 m/s × 13.69 s = 6913.45 m ≅ 6913.5 m

A magnetic B field of strength 0.9 T is perpendicular to a loop with an area of 3 m2. If the area of the loop is reduced to zero
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The magnitude of induced emf is 5.4 V

Explanation:

Given:

Magnetic field B = 0.9 T

Area of loop \Delta A = 3 m^{2}

Time take to reduce loop to zero \Delta t = 0.5 sec

To find induced emf we use faraday's law,

Induced emf is given by,

  \epsilon = -\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}

Here minus sign shows lenz law, for finding magnitude of emf  we ignore it.

Where \phi = B\Delta A

Put the value of flux and find induced emf,

   \epsilon = \frac{B\Delta A}{\Delta t}

   \epsilon = \frac{0.9 \times 3}{0.5}

   \epsilon = 5.4 V

Therefore, the magnitude of induced emf is 5.4 V

A circuit has a current of 2.4 A. The voltage is increased to 4 times its original value, while the resistance stays the same. H
9966 [12]

Answer:

Resistance will become 4 times the previous value

Explanation:

We have given current in the circuit i = 2.4 A

According to ohm's law current in the circuit is given by I=\frac{V}{R}

So 2.4=\frac{V}{R}............eqn 1

Now voltage is increased to 4 times so new voltage = 4 V

And current in the circuit is same as 2.4 A

We have to fond the resistance so that after increasing voltage current will be same

So 2.4=\frac{4V}{R_{unknown}}..........eqn 2

Dividing eqn 1 and 2

1=\frac{V}{R}\times \frac{R_{unkown}}{4V}

R_{unknown}=4R

So resistance will become 4 times the previous value

What is the relationship between a photons energy and its wavelength?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon's electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. The higher the photon's frequency, the higher its energy. Equivalently, the longer the photon's wavelength, the lower its energy.

What is the cause of most waves and how can this change waves' characteristics?
Tanzania [10]

There are three main factors that affect wave formation: wind velocity, fetch, and duration.

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.
