As an airplane moves through the air, its wings cause changes in the
speed and pressure of the air moving past them. These changes result in
the upward force called lift.
The Bernoulli principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid
occurs simultaneously with a decrease in the pressure exerted by the
fluid.
A wing is shaped and tilted so the air moving over it moves faster than
the air moving under it. As air speeds up, its pressure goes down. So
the faster-moving air above exerts less pressure on the wing than the
slower-moving air below. The result is an upward push on the wing—lift!
Answer:
4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one degree Celsius (°C). The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.
Answer:
Explanation:
The equivalent of Newton's second law for rotational motions is:
where
is the net torque applied to the object
I is the moment of inertia
is the angular acceleration
In this problem we have:
(net torque, with a negative sign since it is a friction torque, so it acts in the opposite direction as the motion)
is the moment of inertia
Solving for , we find the angular acceleration:
Answer:
Speed of wind = 50mi/hr, Speed of plane in still air = 400mi/hr
Explanation:
Let the speed of the wind = Vw,
Speed of the plane in still air = Vsa,
The first trip the average speed of the plane = 1575mi/4.5hours = 350mi/hr
The coming trip the wind behind = 1575mi/3.5hrs = 450
Write the motion in equation form
First trip ( the plane flew into the wind)
Vaverage = Vsa - Vw
350 = Vsa - Vw
Second trip the wind was behind
450 = Vsa +Vw
Adding the two equation
800 = 2Vas
Vas = 800/2 = 400mi/hr
Substitute for Vas into equation 1
350mi/hr = 400mi/hr - Vw
Vw = 400-350 = 50mi/hr
