The takeoff speed of a military aircraft carrier is approximately 215 mi/hr relative to the air. They acquire this speed through a combination of a catapult system present on the
aircraft carrier and the aircraft's jet propulsion system. A common strategy is to head the
carrier and the plane into the wind. If the plane is taking off from an aircraft carrier
which is moving at 50 mi/hr into a 30 mi/hr headwind, then what speed relative to the
deck of the aircraft carrier must it obtain to takeoff?

The place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors 6.00 m apart. as you sit in the chair, your head is 2.00 m from the nearer mirror. looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (the mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.) how far away does the back of your head appear to be?

Power can be defined as a. the distance over which work was done. b. how much work can be done in a given time. c. all the work in an given area. d. the energy required to do work.

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?
