Answer: The package appears to fall straight downward

Explanation:

When the package is dropped from the plane (which has constant speed) it will follow a parabolic path. Then, as the plane and the package have the same constant speed in the horizontal component (X component of the movement) and a constant vertical acceleration due gravity, from the plane the package will always be seen below it, falling straight downward (free fall).

This is possible if it is assumed that there are no additional horizontal forces such as air resistance, thus fulfilling Newton's 1st Law of inertia that estates if a body is in equilibrium the sum of all the forces acting on it is equal to zero.

The pilot of an airplane reads the altitude 6400 m and the absolute pressure 46 kPa when flying over a city. Calculate the local
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

1. 6.672 kPa

2. 49.05 mm of mercury

Explanation:

h = 6400 m

Absolute pressure, p = 46 kPa = 46000 Pa

density of air, d = 0.823 kg/m^3

density of mercury, D = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + pressure due to height

46000 = Atmospheric pressure + h x d x g

Atmospheric pressure = 46000 - 6400 x 0.823 x 10 = 6672 Pa = 6.672 kPa

(b) To convert the pressure into mercury pressure

Atmospheric pressure = H x D x g

Where, H is the height of mercury, D be the density of mercury, g be the acceleration due to gravity

6672 = H x 13600 x 10

H = 0.04905 m

H = 49.05 mm of mercury

When water vapor is cooled it three forms into water droplets why does this represent a conservation in mass
AVprozaik [17]
In the conservation of mass, mass is never created or destroyed in chemical reactions in the same way water is not created or destroyed it is only transferred from one form to another and its mass is always conserved.
