How long will a plane have to fly continuously with 900 miles per hour in order to cover the same distance as that from Earth to

hammer [34]

I'm not sure about the distance to the nearest star, but it's probably about 4 light-years (L-y).

1 L-y = 1.86 * 10E5 mi/sec * 3600 sec/hr * 24 hr/day * 365 day/yr

1 L-y = 5.9 *10E12 mi and 4 L-y = 2.3 *10E13 mi distance to star

2.3 * 10E13 mi / 900 mi/hr = 2.6 * 10E10 hr hours to star

2.6 * 10E10 hr / (24 hr/day) = 1.1 * 10E9 day days to star

1.1 * 10E9 day / 365 day/yr = 3 * 10E6 yr = 3 million years to star

A supply plane needs to drop a package of food to scientists working on a glacier in Greenland. The plane flies 90.0 m above the

romanna [79]

Answer:

d = 771.3m

Explanation:

Let's first calculate the time of flight:

$Yf = Yo+Voy*t-g*t^2/2$ where Voy=0. Solving for t:

$t = \sqrt{2*90/9.8} =4.285s$

Now we calculate the horizontal displacement, wihch is the distance from the target to drop the package:

Xf = d = Vox*t

d = 180*4.285 = 771.3m

A box falls off of a tailgate and slides along the street for a distance of 62.5 m. Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2. At what

Mila [183]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using equation of motion

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the distance covered while moving from initial to final velocity

a is the acceleration

_____________________________________________

Given

box moved for distance of 62.5 m

Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2----> this statement means that there is deceleration , speed of truck decreases by 5 m/s in every second until the box comes to rest. Friction causes this deceleration.

thus in this problem

a = -5.0 m/s2

V = 0 as body came to rest due to friction deceleration

u the initial velocity we have to find

the initial velocity of box will be the same as speed of truck, as the box was in the truck and hence box will pick the speed of truck.

so if we find speed of box, we will be able get sped of truck as well.

using equation of motion

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\0^2 = u^2 + 2*-5* 62.5\\0 = u^2 - 625\\u^2 = 625\\\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{625} \\u = 25$

Thus, initial speed with the truck was travelling was 25 m/s.
