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)

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Part of the question is missing but here is the equation for the function;

Consider the equation v = (1/3)zxt2. The dimensions of the variables v, x, and t are [L/T], [L], and [T] respectively.

Answer = The dimension for z = 1/T3 i.e 1/ T - raised to power 3

Explanation:

What is applied is the principle of dimensional homogenuity

From the equation V = (1/3)zxt2.

  • V has  a dimension of [L/T]
  • x has a dimension of [L]
  • t has a dimension of [T]
  • from the equation, make z the subject of the relation
  • z = v/xt2 where 1/3 is treated as a constant
  • Substituting into the equation for z
  • z = L/T / L x T2
  • the dimension for z = 1/T3 i.e 1/ T - raised to power 3

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The center of the Milky Way most likely contains a supermassive black hole.

Explanation:

Because it is  an eleptical galaxy, it has a little rotation to it but not enough to flatten out so the center will contain a supermassive black hole.
