Instead, the conditions combine to create an unusually low air density. Explain why such an air density would make it difficult for a large, heavy plane to take off, especially if the runway were not exceptionally long.arrow_forwardTry dropping simultaneously two sticks into a flowing river, one near the edge of the river and one near the middle.

The captain is being charged with intentionally running the ship into the reef. In discovery, the following information is correct: The ship was traveling at 2.5 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef and exerting a constant force of 9.00 x 103 N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 107kg. During the preparation for the trial, the captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted by the frictional drag force of the water on the propeller was 1.25 x 105 N in a direction away from the reef. From this information, construct…arrow_forwardYou aim a rifle horizontally in a perfectly flat field while your friend holds a bullet at the same height as your rifle. You fire the rifle and your friend simply opens her hand simultaneously, allowing the bullet to drop. Your friend claims that both bullets hit the ground at the same moment. Do you agree? Justify your answer. Ignore air resistance.arrow_forward
- A golfer encounters two different situations on different holes. On the second hole they are 150 m from the green and want to hit the ball 90 m and let it run onto the green. They angle the shot low to the ground at 30° to the horizontal to let the ball roll after impact. On the fourth hole they are 120 m from the green and want to let the ball drop with a minimum amount of rolling after impact. Here, they angle the shot at 60° to the horizontal to minimize rolling after impact. Both shots are hit and impacted on a level surface. a. What is the initial speed of the ball at the second hole? b. What is the initial speed of the ball at the fourth hole? C. Write the trajectory equation for both cases.arrow_forwardLet us consider the fall of a pole vaulter as a projectile once he releases the pole. The pole has a lake of 15 8 feet and once the athlete releases the pole he will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feet wide and 16 feet long, which protects him in the fall. If an athlete lets go of the pole when it was 13.7 ft above the ground with a speed of 15.7 ft/s at an angle of 73 degrees.

- Archerfish are one of the few fish that prey on land insects and other small animals. They do this by shooting a jet of water from their specialized mouths at an insect resting on a leaf or plant stem above the water (see photo). This often stuns the insect, causing it to fall into the water, where it can be eaten. In the drawing, an archerfish is shooting water toward an unsuspecting horsefly at rest on a blade of marsh grass above the surface of a pond. Use the information in the drawing to calculate how high (h) the horsefly is above the water. The initial velocity of the water (vo) is 3.2 m/s, and assume that the projected water reaches its maximum height above the pond's surface when it strikes the horsefly. to search Varren l'hotographic FOWL A O 1 10 OF 55°F Mostly cloudyarrow_forwardAn archer shoots an arrow at a 76.0 m distant target, the bull's-eye of which is at same height as the release height of the arrow.
