Answer:

(B) L=W; F=D

Explanation:

Since the airplane's velocity is constant, the airplane is not accelerating in any direction. In absence of acceleration, all forces acting on the plane are balanced so that the net forces in the horizontal and the vertical directions are zero. Given the drawing, this implies that

Forward force = Drag force (F=D)

Weight = Lift (W=L)

which corresponds to option (B)

(it is not C because nothing in the text says that the vertical and horizontal components have to have same magnitude)

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3 00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm
Nesterboy [21]

Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N

Question 8 (4 points)

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Data

Duane                                          Albert

d = 5 m ;  v = 3 m/s                     v = 4.2 m/s

a)                                                b)

Duane's                                      Albert's

d = 5 + (3)t                                  d = 4.2t

d = 5 + 3t

c)                            5 + 3t = 4.2t

                              4.2t - 3t = 5

                                      1.2t = 5

                                           t = 4.17 s

d)

Duane's

d= 5 + 3(4.17)

d = 17.51 m

Alberts

d = 4.2(4.17)

d = 17.51 m

Consider a space shuttle which has a mass of about 1.0 x 105 kg and circles the Earth at an altitude of about 200.0 km. Calculat
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

1.6675×10^-16N

Explanation:

The force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences is expressed as;

g = GM/r²

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass = 1.0 x 10^5 kg

r is the altitude = 200km = 200,000m

Substitute into the formula

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 1.0×10^5/(2×10^5)²

g = 6.67×10^-6/4×10^10

g = 1.6675×10^{-6-10}

g = 1.6675×10^-16N

Hence the force of gravity experienced by the shuttle is 1.6675×10^-16N

If the magnitude of charges on these source charges is arranged in a descending order, which is the correct sequence?
bonufazy [111]
The source charges' magnitude is signified by the arrows pointing outward. The more arrows there are, the greater is its magnitude. This is because, each arrow represents an electrical force exerted by the source. When you add up all the arrows there is, the electrical force becomes even greater. The answer in descending order would be C > A > B > D.

Materials have unique properties because each one is made up of different kinds of which particle?
inysia [295]

D. Atoms.

Explanation:

All the matter is made of elementary particles called "atoms".

Further, an atom is made of electrons, protons and neutrons. The electrons & protons are again made of the fundamental sub-particles, electrons (leptons) and the protons(quarks).

The classification of particles is shown in the figure attached
