Answer to Problem 35P
The horizontal distance travelled by the plane is 480.6m.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Plane is 235 m above the ground level and moving with speed of 69.4 m/s.
Initial speed, u = 69.4 m/s
Height, h = 235 m
Calculation:
The expression for the velocity of the plane in the horizontal is given as:
The vertical velocity of the plane will be 0 because the plane is moving in the horizontal direction.
As the motion of the plane is projectile motion hence, the
Here, the acceleration of the plane is equal to the acceleration due to the gravity because it will travels under gravity.
Substituting the known values into the above equation:
Put the known values into the above equation:
Hence, the horizontal distance travelled by the plane is 480.6m.
(b)
The vertical velocity should the supplies be given so that they arrive precisely.
(b)

Answer to Problem 35P
The magnitude of the vertical velocity of the supplies is 8.41m/s.
Explanation of Solution
Given Data:
The horizontal distance is 425.
Horizontal distance, R = 425
Calculation:
The kinematic equation for the plane:
As the supply is moving against the gravitational field, then the acceleration will be opposite to the gravitation.
Then, the equation is expressed as:
The horizontal velocity:
Rewriting the above equation for t:
Substituting the known value into the above equation:
Rewriting the equation:
Substituting the known value into the above equation:
Here, the negative sign indicates the velocity is moving downward and it is against the gravity.
The magnitude of the vertical:
Therefore, the magnitude of the vertical velocity of the supplies is 8.41m/s.
(c)
The speed of the supplies land in the latter case.
(c)

Answer to Problem 35P
The speed of the supplies land in the latter case is 97.4m/s.
Explanation of Solution
Given Data:
The height of plane is 235 m.
Horizontal distance R = 425
Calculation:
The horizontal velocity:
The vertical velocity:
Substituting the known values into the above equation:
The magnitude of the net velocity:
The magnitude of the net velocity of the plane:
Hence, the speed of the supplies land in the latter case is 97.4m/s.

(Figure 1) If it then falls freely (T = 0) from an essentially balanced at-rest position, determine the speed at which the corner A strikes the pad at B. The stone does not slip at its corner C as it falls. Suppose that height of the stone is L = 1.2 ft.

The battery has emf ε = 69 volts and negligible internal resistance. The inductance is L = 0.4 H and the resistances are R 1 = 12 Ω and R 2 = 9.0 Ω. Initially the switch S is open and no currents flow. Then the switch is closed. After leaving the switch closed for a very long time, it is opened again. Just after it is opened, what is the current in R 1?arrow_forward
- A capacitor with a capacitance of C = 5.95×10−5 F is charged by connecting it to a 12.5 −V battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery and connected across an inductor with an inductance of L = 1.55 H . At the time 2.35×10−2 s after the connection to the inductor is made, what is the current in the inductor? At that time, how much electrical energy is stored in the inductor?arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question. Thanks.arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question.
