The summit of Mount Everest is 8848.0 m above sea level, making it the highest summit on Earth. In 1953, Edmund Hillary was the

first person to reach the summit. Suppose upon reaching there, Hillary slid a rock with a 45.0 g mass down the side of the mountain. If the rock’s speed was 27.0 m/s when it was 8806.0 m above sea level, how much work was done on the rock by air resistance?

The work done on the rock by air resistance is 39019.68 J

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 45 g
  • Velocity (v) = 27 m/s
  • Height (h) = 8848 m
  • Work done =?

<h3>Definition of work </h3>

Work is simply defined as the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the force.

Work = Force × distance

From the question given above, we can see that height is involved. Thus,

Work = potential energy

Potential energy = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g) × height (h)

Potential energy = mgh

Therefore,

Work = mgh

With the above formula, we can obtain the work done.

<h3>How to determine the work done </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 45 g = 45 / 1000 = 0.45 Kg
  • Height (h) = 8848 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Work done =?

Work = mgh

Work = 0.45 × 9.8 × 8848

Work = 39019.68 J

A 4.4 kg mess kit sliding on a frictionless surface explodes into two 2.2 kg parts, one moving at 2.9 m/s, due north, and the ot
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y axis and east represent positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Let the initial velocity be v.

Initial momentum = 4.4 x v = 4.4v

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 2.9 m/s, due north = 2.9 j m/s

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 6.8 m/s, 35° north of east = 6.9 ( cos 35i + sin35 j ) = 5.62 i + 3.96 j m/s

Final momentum = 2.2 x 2.9 j + 2.2 x (5.62 i + 3.96 j) = 12.364 i + 15.092 j kgm/s

We have

         Initial momentum = Final momentum

         4.4v = 12.364 i + 15.092 j

         v =2.81 i + 3.43 j

Magnitude

        v=\sqrt{2.81^2+3.43^2}=4.43m/s

Direction

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3.43}{2.81}\right )=50.67^0

       50.67° north of east.

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

A plane flies 1800 miles in 9 ​hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same​ route, now with a​ headwind, tak
Fittoniya [83]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

V_{plane} = 175 mph

v_{wind} = 25 mph
