An airplane is flying at a constant velocity through the air. What is the relationship between the magnitudes of the four forces

shown in the diagram?

B. L = W; F = D
C. L = W = F = D
D. L = W; F > D

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)

Which radioactive isotope would take the least amount of time to become stable? rubidium-91 iodine-131 cesium-135 uranium-238
Leno4ka [110]
The radioactive isotope that would take the least amount of time to become stable is rubidium-91. This is because this isotope is the most stable compared to the rest. This was determined by subtracting its atomic mass by its atomic number. The isotope with the least number of difference is the most stable, while the one with the greatest difference is the most unstable.

Difference:
Rubidium: 54 (most stable)
Iodine: 78
Cesium: 80
Uranium: 146 (least stable)

A constant force of 45 N directed at angle θ to the horizontal pulls a crate of weight 100 N from one end of a room to another a
Rasek [7]

Answer:

W=173.48J

Explanation:

information we know:

Total force: F=45N

Weight: w=100N

distance: 4m

vertical component of the force: F_{y}=12N

-------------

In this case we need the formulas to calculate the components of the force (because to calculate the work we need the horizontal component of the force).

horizontal component: F_{x}=Fcos\theta

vertical component: F_{y}=Fsen\theta

but from the given information we know that F_{y}=12N

so, equation these two F_{y}=Fsen\theta and F_{y}=12N

Fsen\theta =12N

and we know the force F=45N, thus:

45sen\theta=12

now we clear for \theta

sen\theta =12/45\\\theta=sin^{-1}(12/45)\\\theta =15.466

the angle to the horizontal is 15.466°, with this information we can calculate the horizontal component of the force:

F_{x}=Fcos\theta

F_{x}=45cos(15.466)\\F_{x}=43.37N

whith this horizontal component we calculate the work to move the crate a distance of 4 m:

W=F_{x}*D\\W=(43.37N)(4m)\\W=173.48J

the work done is W=173.48J

Derive an equation for the acceleration of block 3 for any arbitrary values of m3 and m2. Express your answer in terms of m3, m2
dybincka [34]

Complete question is;

Block 1 is resting on the floor with block 2 at rest on top of it. Block 3, at rest on a smooth table with negligible friction, is attached to block 2 by a string that passes over a pulley, as shown in the attachment below. The string and pulley have negligible mass.

Block 1 is removed without disturbing block 2.

Derive an equation for the acceleration of block 3 for any arbitrary values of m3 and m2. Express your answer in terms of m3, m2, and physical constants as appropriate.

Answer:

a = (m2)g/(m3 + m2)

Explanation:

Looking at the attached image, if we consider the free body diagram for block 3, by using Newton's first law of motion, we will arrive at the formula;

T = (m3)a - - - (eq 1)

where;

T is the tension in the string

a is acceleration

m3 is mass of block 3

Meanwhile doing the same with Block 2, the free body diagram would give us the formula; (m2)g - T = (m2)a

Making T the subject gives us;

T = (m2)g - (m2)a - - - (eq 2)

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity

T is the tension in the string

a is acceleration

m2 is mass of block 2

To solve for the acceleration, we will just substitute (m3)a for T in eq 2.

Thus;

(m3)a = (m2)g - (m2)a

(m3)a + (m2)a = (m2)g

a(m3 + m2) = (m2)g

a = (m2)g/(m3 + m2)
