The Harrier Jump Jet is a fixed wing military jet designed for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL). It is capable of rotating its jets from a horizontal to a vertical orientation in order to takeoff, land and conduct horizontal maneuvers. Determine the vertical thrust required to accelerate an 8600-kg Harrier upward at 0.40 m/s/s.

- A 40,000-kg cargo plane on board an aircraft carrier is to deliver relief supplies to a far-flung city devastated by typhoon. After being shipped near the location, the plane is to take off assisted by a steam catapult with a force of 30,000 N that acts like a big slingshot for the plane to be successfully launched. The takeoff deck is only 250 m long and the plane engine generates a maximum thrust of 60,000 N. The plane needs an airspeed of 160 km/hr at the end of the runway to get airborne. Will the plane be able to takeoff or not? Support your answer with computations a. yes b. none of the choices c. no d. either yes or noarrow_forwardWhile moving into his new house, Voytek is sliding a heavy box of books across his bedroom floor. He turns to his little sister, Silvia, and says: “It is always harder to start to move an object that is initially at rest across a horizontal surface than it is to keep that same object moving.” Which statement correctly explains this effect?arrow_forwardA skater of mass 45.0 kg standing on ice throws a stone of mass 7.65 kg with a speed of 20.9 m/s in a horizontal direction.

- A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.arrow_forwardA 1.00-kg glider on a horizontal air track is pulled by a string at an angle . The taut string runs over a pulley and is attached to a hanging object of mass 0.500 kg as shown in Figure P5.40. (a) Show that the speed vx of the glider and the speed vy of the hanging object are related by vx = uvy, where u = z(z2 h02)1/2. (b) The glider is released from rest. Show that at that instant the acceleration ax of the glider and the acceleration ay of the hanging object are related by ax = uay. (c) Find the tension in the string at the instant the glider is released for h0 = 80.0 cm and = 30.0.

Both students keep their feet off the floor. A rope runs from student As hands around a light pulley and then over her shoulder to the hands of a teacher standing on the floor behind her. The low-friction axle of the pulley is attached to a second rope held by student B. All ropes run parallel to the chair runners. (a) If student A pulls on her end of the rope, will her chair or will Bs chair slide on the floor? Explain why. (b) If instead the teacher pulls on his rope end, which chair slides? Why this one?
