Unless otherwise stated, all objects are located near the Earth's surface, where g = 9.80 m/s2 .
At the end of most landing runways in airports, an extension of the runway is constructed using a special substance called formcrete. Formcrete can support the weight of cars, but crumbles under the weight of airplanes to slow them down if they run off the end of a runwa

If a plane of mass 1.80×105 kg is to stop from a speed of 20.0 m/s on a 120 m long stretch of formcrete, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the plane by the formcrete?

What is the maximum angle of climb (steady velocity climb) for a turbojet powered aircraft with an (L?D)max equal to 10.5 and a gross weight of 8000 lb. if it is producing a thrust of 2000 lb.? If the aircraft using the same available thrust, wishes to establish a rate of climb equal to 1800fpm, what airspeed will it need to establish? (Assume the required thrust equals 764pounds)

A thermos bottle in the shape of a cylinder has an inner radius of 4.0 cm, an outer radius of 4.5 cm, and a lengt of 30cm. The insulating walls have a thermal conductivity equal to 2.0 x 10^-5 cal/(sec-cm celsius). One liter of hot coffee at 90 degrees Celsius is poured into the bottle. If the outside wall remains at 20 degrees Celsius, how long does it take for the coffee to cool to 50 degrees Celsius?

Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 65.0 kg ) and Rebecca (mass 45.0 kg ), are practicing. Daniel stops to tie his shoelace and, while at rest, is struck by Rebecca, who is moving at 14.0 m/s before she collides with him. After the collision, Rebecca has a velocity of magnitude 8.00 m/s at an angle of 53.1 ∘ from her initial direction. Both skaters move on the frictionless, horizontal surface of the rink.

Some people are able to spin a basketball on the tip of a finger. It is often done by balancing the ball on the tip of the finger and brushing the other hand along the side of the ball to cause it to rotate. Suppose the ball begins from rest and reaches a final angular speed of 20.15 rad/s in 1.55 s.

(a) Assuming the ball is subject to a constant angular acceleration, what is the magnitude of the constant angular acceleration? rad/s2

(b) Through how many revolutions does the ball rotate during the 1.55 s?

When the tail light of a car is turned on, 0.5 A flows through the wires. The length of one wire from the battery to the tail light is 5.0 meters.Estimate how long you think it will take an electron to travel from the battery to the tail light and how many electrons flow through the tail in one minute. Thank you!

Given :

14AWG copper wire is used, which has a cross sectional area of 2.1e-6 m^2

2 The density of copper is 8.96 grams/cm^3

3 The atomic mass of copper is 63.5.

Each copper atom has one free electron.
