Answer:

The percentage of the weight supported by the front wheel is  A= 19.82 %

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The center of gravity of the plane to its nose  is  z = 2.58 m

    The distance of the front wheel of the plane to  its nose is l = 0.800\ m

     The distance of the main wheel of the plane to its nose is e =  3.02 \ m

At equilibrium  the Torque about the nose of the airplane is mathematically represented as

          mg (z- l) -  G_B *(e - l) = 0

Where m is the mass of the airplane

          G_B is the weight of the airplane supported by the main wheel  

       So  

             G_B =\frac{mg (z-l)}{(e - l)}

Substituting values

            G_B =\frac{mg (2.58 -0.8 )}{(3.02  - 0.80)}

           G_B = 0.8018 mg

Now the weight supported at the frontal wheel is mathematically evaluated as

           G_F = mg - G_B

Substituting values      

       G_F = mg - 0.8018mg    

      G_F = (1 - 0.8018) mg      

     G_F = 0.1982 mg    

Now the weight of the airplane is  =  mg

Thus percentage of this weight supported by the front wheel is  A = 0. 1982 *100 = 19.82 %

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:

a

D =  1162.7 \  m

b

\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

So

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

       \beta =- 65.55^o

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

What is the dot product of a= -2i - 5j and b=i -4j
Dafna1 [17]
I.i = j.j = 1
i.j = j.i = 0

(-2i - 5j)(i -4j)
= (-2i).i + (-2i).(-4j) + (-5j).i + (-5j).(-4j)
= -2 + 0 + 0 + 20 = 18

Can someone help me?!!!!!

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The first option,  the walker traveled 360m more than the actual distance between the start and the end points.

Why?

Since each block is 180 m long, we need to calculate the vertical and the horizontal distance, in order to calculate how farther did the travel walk between the start and the end points (displacement).

So, calculating we have:

Traveler:

Distance=NorthCoveredDistance+EastCoveredDistance

Distance=4*180m+3*180m=720m+540m=1260m

Actual distance between the start and the end point (displacement):

ActualDistance=\sqrt{NorthDistance+EastDistance}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{NorthDistance^{2} +EastDistance^{2}}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{(720m)^{2} +(540m)^{2}}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{518400m^{2} +291600m^{2}}\\\\ActualDistance=\sqrt{810000m^{2}}=900m

Now, to calculate how much farter did the traveler walk, we need to use the following equation:

DistanceDifference=WalkerCoveredDistance-ActualDistance\\\\DistanceDifference=1260m-900m=360m

Therefore, we have that distance differnce between the distance covered by the walker and the actual distance is 360m.

Hence, we have that the walker traveled 360m more than the actual distance between the start point and the end point.

Have a nice day!
