In a glider stunt at an air show, a towing airplane (motorized plane pulling the gliders) takes off from a level runway with two gliders in tow. The gliders are pulled by two tow ropes, the first glider attached to the back of the towing plane and the second glider attached to the back of the first glider. The mass of each glider is 700 kg. The total resisting force (air drag plus friction with the runway) on each glider is equal to 3700 N. The resisting force can be assumed to be constant during the take off. The maximum allowed tension in the tow rope between the transport plane and the first glider is 12000 N. The maximum allowed tension in the second tow rope is the same as the first tow rope. If the takeoff speed for the gliders and the plane is 40 m/s, what minimum length of runway is needed for take off? Express your answer in meters.

Two conductors, a and b, are each in the shape of a tetrahedron. but of different sizes. they are charged in the following manner: 1. tetrahedron a is charged from an electrostatic generator to charge q. 2. tetrahedron a is briefly touched to tetrahedron b. 3. steps 1 and 2 are repeated until the charge on tetrahedron b reaches a maximum value. if the charge on tetrahedron b was q/4 after the first time it touched tetrahedron a. what is the final charge qbmax on tetrahedron b?

Atypical jetliner lands at a speed of 146 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.4 mi/h)/s. if the jetliner travels at a constant speed of 146 mi/h for 1.5 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the jetliner between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?
