The forces on a small airplane (mass 1160 kg) in horizontal flight heading eastward are as follows: weight = 16.0 kN downward, lift = 16.0 kN upward, thrust = 1.800 kN eastward, and drag = 1.400 kN westward. At t = 0, the plane’s speed is 35.0 m/s. If the forces remain constant, how far does the plane travel in the next 51.0 s?

In the sport of parasailing, a person is attached to a rope being pulled by a boat while hanging from a parachute-like sail. a rider is towed at a constant speed by a rope that is at an angle of 15 ∘ from horizontal. the tension in the rope is 1900 n. the force of the sail on the rider is 30∘ from horizontal. what is the weight of the rider? express your answer with the appropriate units.

Which describes an object in projectile motion? check all that apply. a.gravity acts to pull the object downb. the object moves in a straight path. c.the forward velocity of the object is 0 m/s. d.the object’s inertia carries it forward. e.the path of the object is curved.

This is a form of winter precipitation. it is frozen precipitation falling as ice pellets. snowflakes melt into raindrops as they pass through a thin layer of warmer air. the raindrops then refreeze into particles of ice when they fall into a layer of sub-freezing air near the surface of the earth. this precipitation is called a) hail. b) rain. c) sleet. d) snow.
