An aeroplane lands on the runway with a velocity of 50 m/s and decelerates at 10 m/s^2 to a velocity of 20 m/s. Calculate the distance travelled on the runway.

Firstly, we note that the acceleration is constant, therefore this problem should be tackled with the SUVAT equations. Let's write down the information we have: s  we are asked to find this u = 50 m/s v =...

A mass, m, is resting on a slope being slowly tilted upwards from horizontal. The static friction co-efficient is 0.3 and the dynamic friction co-efficient is 0.2: at what angle will the mass begin to slip?

The static friction force holding the object on the slope is given by Fr where R = mg by Newton's second law of motion. We use a < sign as the static friction is a reaction force And the force drag...

Explain how a standing wave is formed

A standing wave is formed when two waves travelling in oposite directions interfere with each other.  The waves will be exactly one half wavelength out of phase, and this phase difference allows them to i...

A cylindrical specimen of material with diameter 1.5x10^-4 has a breaking stress of 1.3GPa. Calculate the tensile force acting on the specimen at breaking point.

We first need to remember that stress is force over area. We can calculate the area using the diameter as the specimen is told to be cylindrical (circular cross-section). The area can be calculated using ...
