What is the approximate amount of thrust you need to apply to the lander to keep it's velocity roughly constant

The approximate amount of thrust(force) you need to apply to the lander to

keep its velocity roughly constant is zero.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration the force acting

on the object is directly proportional to its rate of change of momentum.

F = m a

If the object is moving with uniform velocity, it simply means that the

acceleration is zero, and  the corresponding force will also be zero.

An airplane is flying at a speed of 200 m/s in level flight at an altitude of 800 m. A package is to be dropped from the airplan
MArishka [77]

Answer:

2560m or 2.56km (rounded to 3 significant figures)

Explanation:

First, list all known and desired values/variables (initial vertical velocity is 0 as the plane is kept level and vertical acceleration is just gravity):

Vertical \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) =  u_{v} = 0 \\\\ Horizontal \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) =  u_{h} = 200\\\\ Vertical \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) =  a_{v} =  9.8 \\\\ Horizontal \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) =  a_{h} =  0 \\\\ Vertical \ displacement \ (m) = s_{v} = 800 \\\\ Horizontal \ displacement \ (m) = s_{h}

The horizontal displacement is going to be the distance travelled, horizontally of course, once the package is released;

First thing to understand is that the vertical and horizontal components are to be dealt with separately because they don't affect each other;

Since there is no horizontal acceleration (ignoring air resistance), we simply require a velocity and time to find the horizontal displacement, using the formula v = d/t (or speed = distance/time);

What we have is the horizontal velocity but we don't have the time taken;

One thing we know is that the time elapsed for the vertical fall of 800m and for the horizontal displacement must be the same;

What we do, therefore, is find the time taken for the vertical displacement using the formula, s = ut + ¹/₂·at², since we know the vertical velocity, height and acceleration:

800 = (0)t + ¹/₂·(9.8)t²

800 = 4.9t²

t² = 163.26...

t = 12.77...

We now have the time taken for the vertical fall and the horizontal displacement, we can use this with the horizontal velocity we know already and get the horizontal displacement:

u_{h} = \frac{s_{h} }{t} \\\\ 200 = \frac{s_{h} }{12.77...} \\\\ s_{h} = 200(12.77...) \\\\ s_{h} = 2555.5...

How do reflection and refraction of waves affect communication?​
romanna [79]

Answer:

Reflection involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier. Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another.

A rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16 ft/s from an initial height of 5 ft. write a quadratic function equation
Andrei [34K]
During upward projection the final velocity is zero, and the gravitational acceleration is -10 m/s² (against the gravity).
Therefore; using the equation;
S = 1/2gt² + ut
Where s is the height h, g is gravitational acceleration, and t is the time and u is the initial velocity u, is 16 ft/s.
Thus; h= 1/2(-10)t² + 16t
We get; h = -5t² + 16t
Therefore; the quadratic equation is 5t² - 16t + h =0
