A typical loaded commercial jet airplane has an inertia of 2.1 × 105 kg (a) Which do you expect to require more energy: getting

the plane up to cruising speed or getting it up to cruising altitude? Will one be a lot more than the other or will they be comparable? (b) How much energy does it take to get the plane to a cruising speed of 270 m/s? (c) How much energy does it take to get the plane to a cruising altitude of 10.4 km? [Ignore dissipation.]

Answer:

(a) It depends on what cruising speed and cruising altitude

(b) 7654.5 * 10^6 (J)

(c) 21425.04 * 10^6 (J)

Explanation:

Formula for Kinetic energy: E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2}

Formula for Potential energy E_p = mgh

(a) It actually depends on cruising speed and cruising altitude to tell which one requires more energy. However, cruising speed would have more impact than cruising altitude because it has a power of 2 in the energy formula.

(b) If we plug in v = 270 and m = 210000 to the Kinetic energy formula we should have

E_k = \frac{210000 * 270^2}{2} = 7654.5 * 10^6 (J)

(c) If we plug in h = 10.4 km = 10400 m, m = 210000 and g = 9.81 we should have

E_p = 210000 * 9.81 * 10400 = 21425.04 * 10^6 (J)

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Waves; wavelength; electromagnetic energy; ultraviolet light.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases.

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

Hence, sound and light are both found as waves, with a variety of wavelength. The sun, a source of light waves specifically, releases a type of electromagnetic energy. It can be found as UVA or UVB types. These lights give off different levels of ultraviolet light, some of wich can be harmful.

Additionally, the ultraviolet spectrum is divided into three categories and these are; UVA, UVB and UVC.

A ray of light travels across a liquid-to-glass interface. if the indices of refraction for the liquid and glass are, respective
prisoha [69]
When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:

n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)

Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°
