A package is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally with constant speed V in the positive xdirection. The package is relea

sed at time t = 0 from a height H above the origin. In addition to the vertical component of acceleration due to gravity, a strong wind blowing from the right gives the package a horizontal component of acceleration of magnitude ¼g to the left. Derive an expression for the horizontal distance D from the origin where the package hits the ground.

Answer:

D=V*\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} } -\frac{H}{4}

Explanation:

From the vertical movement, we know that initial speed is 0, and initial height is H, so:

Y_{f}=Y_{o}-g*\frac{t^{2}}{2}

0=H-g*\frac{t^{2}}{2}    solving for t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

Now, from the horizontal movement, we know that initial speed is V and the acceleration is -g/4:

X_{f}=X_{o}+V*t+a*\frac{t^{2}}{2}   Replacing values:

D=V*\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }-\frac{g}{4}*\frac{1}{2} *(\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} })^{2}

Simplifying:

D=V*\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} } -\frac{H}{4}

Hello everyone. This is a question about Dimensional Analysis and I came across this question but I am unable to wrap my head ar
omeli [17]

Answer:

2. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [L]/[T]

Explanation:

I assume you mean this:

A = B² + 2B⁴/C²

Since you can't add numbers with different units (for example, you can't add seconds to meters), each term in the sum must have the same units as A.

B² = [L]²/[T]²

B = [L]/[T]

B⁴/C² = [L]²/[T]²

C²/B⁴ = [T]²/[L]²

C² = B⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = ([L]/[T])⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = [L]²/[T]²

C = [L]/[T]

Notice we ignore the 2 coefficient, which is unitless.

Find the wavelength of the balmer series spectral line corresponding to n = 15.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

371.2 mm

Explanation:

The Balmer series of spectral lines is obtained from the formula

1/λ = R(1/2² -1/n²) where λ = wavelength, R = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

when n = 15

1/λ = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/2² -1/15²)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/4 -1/225)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(0.25 - 0.0044)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹ 0.245556

    = 2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

So,

λ  = 1/2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

    = 0.3712 10⁻⁶ m

    = 371.2 mm
