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.

A snowball is rolling down a hill at 4.5 m/s and accumulating snow as it goes. Its diameter begins at 0.50 m and ends at the bot
Reil [10]
To find the change in centripetal acceleration, you should first look for the centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill.

The formula for centripetal acceleration is:
Centripetal Acceleration = v squared divided by r

where:
v = velocity, m/s
r= radium, m

assuming the velocity does not change:

at the top of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 0.25 m
                                      = 81 m/s^2

at the bottom of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 1.25 m
                                      = 16.2 m/s^2

to find the change in centripetal acceleration, take the difference of the two.
change in centripetal acceleration = centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill - centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the hill

= 81 m/s^2 - 16.2 m/s^2
= 64.8 m/s^2 or 65 m/s^2

a machine with a mechanical advantage of 2.5 requires an input force of 120 newtons. What output force is applied by this machin
creativ13 [48]
If your machine has a mechanical advantage of 2.5, then WHATEVER force you apply to the input, the force at the output will be 2.5 times as great.

If you apply 1 newton to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 1 newton)  =  2.5 newtons.

If you apply 120 newtons to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 120 newtons)  =  300 newtons.
