You are traveling on a plane trip from Washington, D.C. to Cleveland, Ohio and the plane uses 1,260 MJ/passenger trip. If you ma

de the trip by car it would take 18 gallons/passenger trip. There are 142 MJ in a gallon of kerosene, a type of jet fuel. How many gallons of kerosene does it take to make the trip by plane?

Answer:

8.87 gallons of kerosene

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Energy to travel by plane per passenger trip: 1,260 MJ/passenger trip
  • Energy per gallon of kerosene: 142 MJ/gal

Step 2: Calculate how many gallons of kerosene it takes to make the trip by plane

We can calculate the amount of kerosene required by combining the factor provided in Step 1.

1 gal/142 MJ × 1,260 MJ/passenger trip = 8.87 gal/passenger trip

8.87 gallons of kerosene are required to make the trip by plane.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

47.4 m

Explanation:

When an object is thrown upward, it rises up, it reaches its maximum height, and then it goes down. The time at which it reaches its maximum height is half the total time of flight.

In this case, the time of flight is 6.22 s, so the time the ball takes to reach the maximum height is

t=\frac{6.22}{2}=3.11 s

Now we consider only the downward motion of the ball: it is a free fall motion, so we can find the vertical displacement by using the suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 3.11 s is the time

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

Solving the  formula, we find

s=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(3.11)^2=47.4 m
