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)

The initial height of the water in a sealed container of diameter 100.0 cm is 5.00 m. The air pressure inside the container is 0
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

a)  F = 2.66 10⁴ N, b)   h = 1.55 m

Explanation:

For this fluid exercise we use that the pressure at the tap point is

Exterior

          P₂ = P₀ = 1.01 105 Pa

inside

         P₁ = P₀ + ρ g h

the liquid is water with a density of ρ=1000 km / m³

         P₁ = 0.85   1.01 10⁵ + 1000   9.8  5

         P₁ = 85850 + 49000

         P₁ = 1.3485 10⁵ Pa

the net force is

         ΔP = P₁- P₂

         Δp = 1.3485 10⁵ - 1.01 10⁵

         ΔP = 3.385 10⁴ Pa

Let's use the definition of pressure

         P = Fe / A

         F = P A

the area of ​​a circle is

         A = pi r² = [i d ^ 2/4

let's reduce the units to the SI system

         d = 100 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 1 m

         F = 3.385 104 pi / 4 (1) ²

         F = 2.66 10⁴ N

b) the height for which the pressures are in equilibrium is

        P₁ = P₂

        0.85 P₀ + ρ g h = P₀

        h = \frac{P_o ( 1-0.850)}{\rho \ g}

        h = \frac{1.01 \ 10^5 ( 1 -0.85)}{1000 \ 9.8}

        h = 1.55 m

choli [55]
D. both B and C will cause gas pressure to decrease because adding more gas is like adding more energy and reducing the space (volume) the atoms will move more quickly but won't have space, therefore pressure will increase.
