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.

A disk rotates at constant angular acceleration, from angular position θ1 = 16.0 rad to angular position θ2 = 76.0 rad in 5.30 s
Oliga [24]

Answer:

(a) the angular velocity at θ1 is 11.64 rad/s

(b) the angular acceleration is 0.12 rad/s^{2}

(c) the angular position was the disk initially at rest is - 428.27 rad

Explanation:

Given information :

θ1 = 16 rad

θ2 = 76 rad

ω2 = 11 rad/s

t = 5.3 s

(a) The angular velocity at θ1

First, we use the angular motion equation for constant acceleration

Δθ = (ω1+ω2)t/2

θ2 - θ1 = (ω1+ω2)t/2

ω1 + ω2 = 2 (θ2 - θ1) / t

ω1 = (2 (θ2 - θ1) / t ) - ω2

     = (2 (76-16) / 5.3) - 11

     = 11.64 rad/s

(b) the angular acceleration

ω2 = ω1 + α t

α t = ω2 - ω1

α = (ω2 - ω1)/t

  = (11.64 - 11) / 5.3

  = 0.12 rad/s^{2}

(c) the angular position was the disk initially at rest, θ0

at rest ω0 = 0

ω2^2 = ω01  t + 2 α Δθ

2 α Δθ = ω2^2

θ2 - θ0 = ω2^2  /  2 α

θ0 = θ2 -  (ω2^2) / 2 α

  = 76 - (11^{2}/ 2 x 0.12

  = 76 - 504.16

  = - 428.27 rad

What is the difference between condensation and conduction
aniked [119]

Answer:

Convection is the heat transfer due to the bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids, including molten rock. Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. Condensation is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds. These clouds may produce precipitation, which is the primary route for water to return to the Earth's surface within the water cycle.

An electron is accelerated within a particle accelerator using a 100 MV electric potential. The 100 MeV electron moves along an
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The length of the tube is 3.92 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric potential = 100 MV

Length = 4 m

Energy = 100 MeV

We need to calculate the value of \gamma

Using formula of relativistic energy

E=m_{0}c^2(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)

Put the value into the formula

1.6\times10^{-15}= 9.1\times`10^{-31}\times9\times10^{16}(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)

(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)=\dfrac{1.6\times10^{-15}}{9.1\times10^{-31}\times9\times10^{16}}

Here, \gamma-1=(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)

\gamma-1=0.01953

\gamma=0.01953+1

\gamma=1.01953

We need to calculate the length

Using formula of length

L'=\dfrac{L}{\gamma}

Put the value into the formula

L'=\dfrac{4}{1.01953}

L'=3.92\ m

Hence, The length of the tube is 3.92 m.
