A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0 kg fish from a dock that is 2.0 m above the water. He is using a lightweight fishing line that will break under a tension of 60N or more. He is eager to get the fish to the dock in the shortest possible time.
If the fish is at rest at the water's surface, what's the least amount of time in which the fisherman can raise the fish to the dock without losing it?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
The forces on an aircraft flying at altitude are shown in the picture. An F35 fighter jet has a mass m = 14,000 kg and its engines are capable of a maximum thrust TMAX = 190,000 N. (a) At a cruising speed of 250 m/s the air drag is 40,000 N. What is the maximum forward acceleration that the F35 can achieve? (b) This aircraft’s wings have a total cross-sectional area of 43 m2. What is the pressure difference between the upper and lower side of the wings required for the aircraft to fly at constant altitude? (Hint: the vertical forces must cancel.)
Recently, the Amazon and Virgin groups launched commercial space flights. These flights do not store fuel on board, instead, they inhale oxygen from the air. If the weight of one of these new rockets is 2420 kN, while a regular rocket is 19579 kN, what would be the acceleration of these two rockets close to the Earth's surface when a thrust of 25467 kN is applied?

- The United States possesses the ten largest warships in the world, aircraft carriers of the Nimitz class. Suppose one of the ships bobs up to float 11.0 cm higher in the ocean water when 50 fighters take off from it in a time interval of 25 min, at a location where the free-fall acceleration is 9.78 m/s2. The planes have an average laden mass of 29 000 kg. Find the horizontal area enclosed by the waterline of the ship.arrow_forwardYou are tasked with designing the runway on an aircraft carrier. The minimum speed for the F/A-18 Hornet is 180.5 mph. The Hornet weighs 40,000 lbf and its twin engines provide a thrust of ~40,000 lbf combined, providing a max acceleration of 1g.

To add some interest, the jump will be made from 42 m above a pool of water. A 30 m bungee cord would be attached to the dean. First you must convince the dean that your plan is safe for a person of his mass, 70 kg. The dean knows that as the bungee cord begins to stretch, it will exert a force which has the same properties a the force exerted by a spring. Your plan has the dean stepping off a platform and being in free fall for 30 m before the cord begins to stretch. a) Determine the spring constant of the bungee cord so that it stretches only 12 m, which will just keep the dean out of the water. (Assume that the dean is a point like object). b) Using the result of a), find the dean's speed 7 m above the water.arrow_forwardKomi was on vacation and went to scale Mt. Banahaw. Her weight at the base of the mountain is 540 N, on top she weighs 539.5 N. Note that the gravity acceleration decreases about 0.373 cm/s² for each 1000 m ascent. Determine the height in m of a point above the base where her weight decreases by 2.375%.arrow_forward
- You are entering the bungee-jumping business and must design the bungee cord. The jump will be from a bridge that is 100.0 m above a river. The design calls for 2.00 seconds of free fall before the cord begins to slow the fall, and the person just touches the water after jumping. Find the force con- stant and length of the bungee cord for a 100.0 kg person.arrow_forwardEach propeller of the twin-screw ship develops a full-speed thrust of F = 375 kN.
