A plane flying horizontally at 384 m/s releases a package at an altitude of 15,721 m.

Answer:

t = 56.6 s

Explanation:

In the absence of air resistance we can use the kinematic equation

s = ½at²

The package is at vertical rest at the drop point. The horizontal velocity will not matter.

t = √(2s/a)

t = √(2(15721)/9.81)

t = 56.6 s

With air resistance, the time will likely be significantly longer as terminal velocity probably has  been achieved.

Without air resistance, the velocity at ground impact would be

v = at = 9.81(56.6) = 555 m/s

which is almost double the speed of sound in air, so air resistance is not negligible.

An object is thrown upwards with the speed of 40.0 km/hr in 5 second, calculate the distance in millimeters (mm).
sertanlavr [38]
V=(40km/hr)(hr/3600s)(1000000mm/km)
v=11111.1mm/s

v=d/t
d=vt
d=(11111.1mm/s)(5s)
d=55555mm
d=5.56x10^4mm

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

A) correct answer is C,   B)   correct answer is b  and C) The correct answer is b

Explanation:

In the exercises of geometric optics, the equation of the constructor tells us the location of the image.

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length of the cornea-crystalline system, p and q are the distances to the object and the image.

In this case, the distance to the image on the retina is constant, about 3 cm. Therefore depending on the distance to the object) p = the focal length must change

        1 / q = 1 / f 1 / p

let's apply this expression to our case

A) indicates that the tree is at a medium distance

so that the image is formed on the retina THE SAME AS

correct answer is C

B) The squirrel is at a smaller distance (p ') than the tree (p), therefore if we substitute in the equation above we find that q must decrease. Consequently the image is in front of the retina

The mountain is very far, suppose in infinity, so the image is BEHIND THE RETINA

therefore the correct answer is b

C) The squirrel is very close so the curvature of the lens INCREASES, resulting in a DECREASE in the focal length

The correct answer is b
