Answer:

48.54 m

Explanation:

Mass of moving aircraft = 1000 kg

Mass of stationary aircraft = 1500 kg

Velocity of moving aircraft = 25 m/s

Velocity by which they both move together = 10 m/s

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=10+a\times 9.7\\\Rightarrow \frac{-10}{9.7}=a\\\Rightarrow a=-1.03\ m/s^2$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-10^2}{2\times -1.03}\\\Rightarrow s=48.54\ m$

Both planes skid a distance of 48.54 m

sonic is sliding down a frictionless 15m tall hill. He starts at the top with a velocity of 10m/s. At the bottom of the hill he

podryga [215]

Answer:

The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m

Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.

The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring

The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved

Explanation:

The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.

As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .

x = compression of the spring = 0.89

mario62 [17]

If the object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, then that's
the definition of zero acceleration. It can only happen when the sum of
all forces (the 'net' force) on the object is zero.

And it doesn't matter what the object's mass is. That argument is true
for specks of dust, battleships, rocks, stars, rock-stars, planets, and
everything in between.

A 500kg car skids to a stop at a traffic light, leaving behind a 18.25m skid mark as it comes to a rest. Assuming that the car i

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$0^2=14.5^2+2\times a\times 18.25$

$a=-5.76m/sec^2$

We know that acceleration is given by

$a=\mu g$

$5.76=\mu\times 9.81$

$\mu =0.587$

So coefficient of friction will be 0.587

A 55.0-kg skydiver drew falls for a period of time before opening his parachute. what is his kinetic energy when he reaches a ve

Jlenok [28]

Mass (m)=55kg

acceleration (a)=9.81 m/s^2, this is the acceleration due to gravity.

initial velocity=0m/s. The skydiver doesn’t start with any speed because she is on the plane or helicopter.

final velocity=16m/s This is the velocity (speed) the skydiver reaches

The equation we use is KE=.5mv^2
Kinetic energy=.5 mass x velocity^2

KE=.5(55kg)(16m/s)^2
KE=.5(55kg)(256m/s)
KE=.5(14080J)

J=Joules

KE=7040J

Kinetic energy is 7040 Joules (J)

Hope this helps
