A transport plane takes off from a level landing field with two gliders in tow, one behind the other. The mass of each glider is 700 kg, and the total resistance (air drag plus friction with the runway) on each may be assumed constant and equal to 1900 N. The tension in the towrope between the transport plane and the first glider is not to exceed 12000 N.

If a speed of 40 m/s is required for takeoff, what minimum length of runway is needed?

Which of the choices below is one of the primary gases found in the atmosphere? a. helium b. carbon dioxide c. nitrogen d. argon

What are similarities and differences between refraction, reflection, diffraction and absorption?

(2) (a) you have a simple circuit that consists of only a battery (δvbat=1.5v) and two resistors with resistance r1=10ω and r2=5ω, connected in series with each other. what is the current running through the battery? (b) you re-arrange your circuit so now r2 is attached in parallel to r1 rather than in series. what is the current running through the battery? (c) you add an additional resistor r3=7ω on the same branch as r2. what is the current running through the battery? (d) what is the power dissipated in r3?
