Answer:

Wet surfaces areaA=+25.3ft^2

Explanation:

Using F= K×A× S^2

Where F= drag force

A= surface area

S= speed

Given : F=996N S=20mph A= 83ft^2

K = F/AS^2=996/(83×20^2)

K= 996/33200 = 0.03

1215= (0.03)× A × 18^2

1215=9.7A

A=1215/9.7=125.3ft^2

An airplane is delivering food to a small island. It flies 100 m above the ground at a speed of 150 m/s .
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The airplane should release the parcel 6.7*10^2 m before reaching the island

Explanation:

The height of the plane is y_0=100m, and its speed is v=150 m/s

When an object moves horizontally in free air (no friction), the equation for the y measured with respect to ground is

y=y_0 - \frac{gt^2}{2}    [1]

And the distance X is

x = V.t     [2]

Being t the time elapsed since the release of the parcel

If we isolate t from the equation [1] and replace it in equation [2] we get

X = V . \sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}}

Using the given values:

x = 150 m/s  \sqrt{\frac{2\times 100m}{9.8 m/sec^2}}

x = 6.7*10^2 m

Identify the method of thermal energy transfer at work in hot air balloons. Explain how thermal energy is transferred in this sc
yan [13]
Thermal energy in the form of fire is generated by the combustion of fuel. Due to the tendency of hot air to rise upward, the heat generated rises to fill the space of the balloon. One this space is full of trapped hot air, the heat's tendency to rise causes the hot air balloon to be lifted into the air.

An object of mass 100 kg is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. At time t = 0, a horizontal force of 10 N is
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

(D) It is moving at a constant speed

Explanation:

Before t = 1s. Due to the force, albeit small, acting on the object, since there's no static friction stopping the object from moving, this mass object would have a constant acceleration and it's velocity would be increasing.

According to Newton's 1st law, an object will stay at a constant speed if the net force acting on it is 0. After t = 1s, horizontally speaking there's no other force exerting on the mass object. There is no friction force at play here as the surface is frictionless.

Therefore the correct statement is (D) It is moving at a constant speed

A "home-made" solid propellant rocket has an initial mass of 9 kg; 6.8 kg of this is fuel. The rocket is directed vertically upw
nlexa [21]

Answer:

v = 1176.23 m/s

y = 741192.997 m = 741.19 km

Explanation:

Given

M₀ = 9 Kg  (Initial mass)

me = 0.225 Kg/s   (Rate of fuel consumption)

ve = 1980 m/s    (Exhaust velocity relative to rocket, leaving at atmospheric pressure)

v = ? if t = 20 s

y = ?

We use the equation

v = ∫((ve*me)/(M₀ - me*t)) dt - ∫g dt     where t ∈ (0, t)

⇒   v = - ve*Ln ((M₀ - me*t)/M₀) - g*t

then we have

v = - 1980 m/s*Ln ((9 Kg - 0.225 Kg/s*20 s)/(9 Kg)) - (9.81 m/s²)(20 s)

v = 1176.23 m/s

then we apply the formula

y = ∫v dt = ∫(- ve*Ln ((M₀ - me*t)/M₀) - g*t) dt

⇒   y = - ve* ∫ Ln ((M₀ - me*t)/M₀) dt - g*∫t dt

⇒   y = - ve*(Ln((M₀ - me*t)/M₀)*t + (M₀/me)*(M₀  - me*t - M₀*Ln(M₀ - me*t))) - (g*t²/2)

For t = 20 s   we have

y = Ln((9 Kg - 0.225 Kg/s*20 s)/9 Kg)*(20 s) + (9 Kg/0.225 Kg/s)*(9 Kg  - 0.225 Kg/s*20 s - 9 Kg*Ln(9 Kg - 0.225 Kg/s*20 s)) - (9.81 m/s²*(20 s)²/2)

⇒   y = 741192.997 m = 741.19 km

A dive-bomber has a velocity of 280 m/s at an angle θ below the horizontal. When the altitude of the aircraft is 2.15 km, it rel
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

\theta = 33.5 degree

Explanation:

As we know that net displacement is

d = 3.25 km

altitude is given as

h = 2.15 km

so its horizontal displacement is given as

x^2 + h^2 = d^2

x^2 + 2.15^2 = 3.25^2

x = 2.44 km

now we have

v_x = 280 cos\theta

v_y = 280 sin\theta

now in x direction we have

2.44 \times 10^3 = (280 cos\theta) t

in y direction we have

2.15 \times 10^3 = (280 sin\theta) t + 4.9 t^2

from above equations we have

2.15 \times 10^3 = 2.44 \times 10^3 tan\theta + 4.9 (\frac{2.44 \times 10^3}{280 cos\theta})^2

by solving above equation

\theta = 33.5 degree
