Answer:

The speed of the F-4 Phantom upon impact is approximately 214.92 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameter of the motion of the F-4 Phantom jet aircraft are;

The mass of the F-4 phantom rocket, m₁ = 19,100 kg

The mass of the retaining wall, m₂ = 469,000 kg

The velocity of the combined mass of the wall and the F-4 after collision, v₃ = 8.41 m/s

The retainment wall was initially at rest, therefore, v₂ = 0 m/s

Let 'v₁', represent the speed of the F-4 Phantom upon impact

By the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

m₁·v₁ + m₁·v₂ = m₁·v₃ + m₂·v₃ = (m₁ + m₂)·v₃

Plugging in the values, we have;

19,100 × v₁ + 469,000 × 0  = (19,100 + 469,000) × 8.41

∴ v₁ = (19,100 + 469,000) × 8.41/(19,100) = 214.917329843

v₁ ≈ 214.92

The speed of the F-4 Phantom upon impact, v₁ ≈ 214.92 m/s.

What happens to the density of a substance as its temperature increases?
Dimas [21]
The molecules spread apart, so they take up more space. Because of this, they are less dense.

This means the density decreases as temperature increases.

Zorn and Porsha are ice skating. Porsha has a mass of 60 kg, and Zorn has a mass of 40 kg. As they face each
algol13

Assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is  negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².

Missing part of the question: determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration.

Given the data in the question;

  • Mass of Porsha; m_{porsha} = 60kg
  • Mass of Zorn; m_{zorn} = 40kg
  • Force of Porsha push; F_{porsha} = 168N

Magnitude of Porsha's acceleration; a = \ ?

To determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration, we use Newton's second laws of motion:

F = m*a

Where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

We substitute the mass of Porsha and the force he used into the equation

168N = 60kg * a\\\\a = \frac{168kg.m/s^2}{60kg}\\\\a = 2.8m/s^2

Therefore, assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is  negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².
