The altimeter reading is 29.17 from the Kollsman window is 29.17 in Hg

<h3>How to determine the altimeter reading?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Ground level = 700 ft i.e. the field elevation
Pressure altitude = 1450 ft

The pressure altitude is calculated as:

Altitude = (29.92 – Altimeter reading) * 1,000 + Ground level

Substitute the known values

1450 = (29.92 - Altimeter reading) * 1000 + 700

Subtract 700 from both sides

750 = (29.92 - Altimeter reading) * 1000

Divide through by 1000

0.75 = 29.92 - Altimeter reading

Evaluate the like terms

Altimeter reading = 29.17

Hence, the altimeter reading is 29.17 from the Kollsman window is 29.17 in Hg

Question 3 of 15

omeli [17]

Answer:

B) Degrees

Explanation:

The directions of the vectors are often defined in terms of due East, due North, due West and due South. A direction exactly in between of North and East can be described as Northeast, similarly we can describe directions in terms of Northwest, Southeast and South west.

From these, the direction of a vector can be easily expressed in degrees, which is measured counter clockwise about its tail from due East. Considering that we can say that East is at 0° , North is at 90° , West is at 180 and South is at 270° counter clockwise rotation from due East.

So, we know that the direction of a vector lying somewhere between due East i.e 0° and due North i.e 90°, will be measured in degrees, which will have a value between 0°-90°

A 1.2 kg block is held at rest against the spring with a force constant k= 730 N/m. Initially, the spring is compressed a distan

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Compression distance: $d \approx 0.102\,m$

Explanation:

According to this statement, we know that system is non-conservative due to the rough patch. By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem, we have the following expression that represents the system having a translational kinetic energy ( $K$ ), in joules, at the expense of elastic potential energy ( $U$ ), in joules, and overcoming work losses due to friction ( $W_{l}$ ), in joules:

$K + W_{l} = U$ (1)

By definitions of translational kinetic and elastic potential energies and work losses due to friction, we expand the equation described above:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} +\mu\cdot m\cdot g \cdot s = \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot d^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the block, in kilograms.

$v$ - Final velocity of the block, in meters per second.

$\mu$ - KInetic coefficient of friction, no unit.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

$s$ - Width of the rough patch, in meters.

$k$ - Spring constant, in newtons per meter.

$d$ - Compression distance, in meters.

If we know that $m = 1.2\,kg$ , $v = 2.3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\mu = 0.44$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $s = 0.05\,m$ and $k = 730\,\frac{N}{m}$ , then the compression distance of the spring is:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} +\mu\cdot m\cdot g \cdot s = \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot d^{2}$

$m\cdot v^{2} + 2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot s = k\cdot d^{2}$

$d = \sqrt{\frac{m\cdot (v^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot s)}{k} }$

$d \approx 0.102\,m$
