An airplane with a speed of 92.3 m/s is climbing upward at an angle of 51.1 ° with respect to the horizontal. When the plane's a

devlian [24]

Answer:

$D = 1162.7 \ m$

$\beta =- 65.55^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the airplane is $u = 92.3 \ m/s$

The angle is $\theta = 51.1^o$

The altitude of the plane is $d = 532 \ m$

Generally the y-component of the airplanes velocity is

$u_y = v * sin (\theta )$

=> $u_y = 92.3 * sin ( 51.1 )$

=> $u_y = 71.83 \ m/s$

Generally the displacement traveled by the package in the vertical direction is

$d = (u_y)t + \frac{1}{2}(-g)t^2$

=> $-532 = 71.83 t + \frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2$

Here the negative sign for the distance show that the direction is along the negative y-axis

=> $4.9t^2 - 71.83t - 532 = 0$

Solving this using quadratic formula we obtain that

$t = 20.06 \ s$

Generally the x-component of the velocity is

$u_x = u * cos (\theta)$

=> $u_x = 92.3 * cos (51.1)$

=> $u_x = 57.96 \ m/s$

Generally the distance travel in the horizontal direction is

$D = u_x * t$

=> $D = 57.96 * 20.06$

=> $D = 1162.7 \ m$

Generally the angle of the velocity vector relative to the ground is mathematically represented as

$\beta = tan ^{-1}[\frac{v_y}{v_x } ]$

Here $v_y$ is the final velocity of the package along the vertical axis and this is mathematically represented as

$v_y = u_y - gt$

=> $v_y = 71.83 - 9.8 * 20.06$

=> $v_y = -130.05 \ m/s$

and v_x is the final velocity of the package which is equivalent to the initial velocity $u_x$

$\beta = tan ^{-1}[-130.05}{57.96 } ]$

$\beta =- 65.55^o$

The negative direction show that it is moving towards the south east direction

In a television picture tube, electrons strike the screen after being accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 27

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

9.74 x 10^7 m/s

Explanation:

V = 27000 V

energy of electrons = e x V

K = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 27000 = 43200 x 10^-19 J

Energy = 1/2 m v^2

43200 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v^2

v^2 = 9.495 x 10^15

v = 9.74 x 10^7 m/s

What is the relationship between karst development and topography?

mylen [45]

The karst topography is typically defined as a geographic location characterized by a rugged terrain containing landscapes like underground rivers, fissures, and cracks. It is mainly due to the dissolution of the bedrock due to a much heavier precipitation taking place in the geographic location.

What mathematical formula correctly expresses the relationship between force, mass and acceleration? A. m = F + a B. F = m / a C

IRINA_888 [86]

D. F=ma

F is for force, and that equals two things, M for mass and A for acceleration. When mass is accelerated, it gives you force. Force equals multiplying mass and its acceleration.
