1) take off: potential energy equals to 0, kinetic is very high as it's seeped up
2) assending: potential energy grow, kinetic energy depends if pilot accelerates much or not, but normally he is, so there is some kinetic energy as well but less than on take off
3) flying: potential energy reaches it's maximum, there is some kinetic energy as aircraft flys
4) descending: potential energy goes down, kinetic increase due to gravity.
5) landing: potential energy is zero, kinetic is max until pilot press brakes.

A sled slides down a hill, reaches the level surface, and eventually comes to a stop. Which fact ultimately explains why the sle

Kitty [74]

Answer:

B. The presence of an unbalanced force(e.g friction) causes a moving object to stop.

Explanation:

As the friction is that force that can stop the sled upon reaching the levelled surface so the option b is correct.

An 8.00 kg mass moving east at 15.4 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides with a 10.0 kg object that is initially at

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

9.3m/s

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of momentum

Sum of momentum before collision = sum of momentum after collision

m1u1 +m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2

m1 = 8kg

u1 = 15.4m/s

m2 = 10kg

u2 = 0m/s(at rest)

v1 = 3.9m/s

Required

v2.

Substitute

8(15.4)+10(0) = 8(3.9)+10v2

123.2=31.2+10v2

123.2-31.2 = 10v2

92 = 10v2

v2 = 92/10

v2 = 9.2m/s

Hence the velocity of the 10.0 kg object after the collision is 9.2m/s

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 50.9 c

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Flow rate 2.34 m3/s

Diameter 0.754 m

Explanation:

Assuming steady flow, the volume flow rate along the pipe will always be constant, and equals to the product of flow speed and cross-section area.

The area at the well head is

$A = \pi r_w^2 = \pi (0.509/2)^2 = 0.203 m^2$

So the volume flow rate along the pipe is

$\dot{V} = Av = 0.203 * 11.5 = 2.34 m^3/s$

We can use the similar logic to find the cross-section area at the refinery

$A_r = \dot{V}/v_r = 2.34 / 5.25 = 0.446 m^2$

The radius of the pipe at the refinery is:

$A_r = \pi r^2$

$r^2 =A_r/\pi = 0.446/\pi = 0.141$

$r = \sqrt{0.141} = 0.377m$

So the diameter is twice the radius = 0.38*2 = 0.754m
