The vertical component of the acceleration of a sailplane is zero when the air pushes up against its wings with a lift force of

5.20 kN. Assume that the only forces on the sailplane are that due to gravity and that due to the air pushing up against its wings. What will be the gravitational force on Earth due to the sailplane

Answer:

Explanation:

The vertical component of the acceleration of a sailplane is zero , that means the sailplane is experiencing net force of zero in vertical direction . Its weight is acting in downward direction . So airplane is also experiencing an upward force equal to its weight  which is making net force equal to zero on it . This force is given as 5.20 k N .

So sailplane is experiencing an upward force equal to its weight . This force is generated due to air pushing up against its wings .

We know that every force generated has equal and opposite reaction force . Air is generating force on wings of sailplane , hence wings will also exert equal force on air on downward direction . This force will be transmitted to the earth by air .

Hence the gravitational force on Earth due to the sailplane will be equal to weight of sailplane . This force is 5.2 kN .

What is the total capacitance in units of mF, of the two capacitors connected in series, as shown in the diagram, when C1 = 45 m
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

16.7 mF

Explanation:

The total capacitance of two capacitors connected in series is given by the formula:

\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{C_1}+\frac{1}{C_2}

in our problem, we have:

C1 = 45 mF is the capacitance of the first capacitor

C2 = 26 mF is the capacitance of the second capacitor

Substituting into the equation, we find:

\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{45 mF}+\frac{1}{26 mF}=0.06 mF^{-1}\\C=\frac{1}{0.06 mF^{-1}}=16.7 mF

(1 point) At noon, ship A is 10 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 22 knots and ship B is sailing nort
Veronika [31]

Answer:28.8 knots

Explanation:

The ships are moving as the sides of a right triangle. Thus, Pyhogorean theorem will be useful in the following steps. Next, we have to know that the rate of change in distance, which is called velocity, can be described in terms of derivatives.

First, we have to calculate the distances covered by the ships from noon to 6 PM. In 6 hours, ship A moved 22*6=132 nautical mile. However, their first distance was 10 nautical miles, so 132+10=142 miles is the equivalent of A's displacement. For B, the distance travelled is 19*6=114 miles. From now on, A=142 miles and B=114 miles.

The distance between them is described with Pythogorean theorem, which is D=\sqrt{A^{2} +B^{2} } and when we replace the values A and D, we find Distance (D) to be 182 miles.

Now, let's make the notations clear. The velocity of A and B is notated as \frac{dA}{dt} and \frac{dB}{dt}. The rate of change of distance is also notated as \frac{dD}{dt}. Now, we have to find \frac{dD}{dt} from the Pythogorean theorem. If we derive the Pythogorean expression D=\sqrt{A^{2} +B^{2} } , we would have:

\frac{dD}{dt} =\frac{1}{2} *(A^{2} +B^{2} )^{-1/2} *(2*A*\frac{dA}{dt} + 2*B*\frac{dB}{dt} )

The derivation here includes chain rule and derives the interior parts of the parenthesis. When we insert distances for A and B and velocities for derivation notations, the formula becomes:

\frac{dC}{dt} =\frac{1}{2}*(142^{2}   +114^{2})^{-\frac{1}{2} }*(2*142*22 + 2*114*19) and the answer is 28.6 knots.

What adaptation of a cheetah is shown in the image?
pychu [463]

The adaptation of a cheetah is shown in the image which shows it running is its long and strong legs to run fast which is denoted as option B.

<h3>What is Adaptation?</h3>

These are the physical and behavioral features which ensures that they survive in their changing environment.

Cheetahs are known to have long and strong legs which is the reason why it runs at a very high speed.

As a system increases in volume, it absorbs 59.0 J of energy in the form of heat from the surroundings. The piston is working ag
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The initial volume of the system is 2.7 L

Explanation:

The change in internal energy is given by;

ΔU = Q - W

where;

Q is the heat absorb from the surrounding

W is the work done by the system

Given;

ΔU  = -107.6 J

Q = 59 J

W = ?

W = Q- ΔU

W = 59J - (-107.6)

W = 166.6 J

Work done is given by;

W = PΔV

W = P(V₂ - V₁)

101.325 Joules = 1 L.atm

166.6 Joules  = ?

= 1.644 L.atm

1.644 L.atm = 0.543 atm(57.7L - V₁)

57.7L - V₁ = (1.644 L.atm) / (0.543 atm)

57.7L - V₁ = 3.0 L

V₁ = 57.7L - 3.0 L

V₁ = 2.7 L

Therefore, the initial volume of the system is 2.7 L
