During takeoff, an airplane climbs with a speed of 130 m/s at an angle of 47 degrees above the horizontal. The speed and directi
on of the airplane constitute a vector quantity known as the velocity. The sun is shining directly overhead. How fast is the shadow of the plane moving along the ground? (That is, what is the magnitude of the horizontal component of the plane's velocity?)
<span>R = rate of flow = 0.370 L/s
H = height = 2.9 m
T= time = 3.9 s
V = velocity of water when it hits the bucket = sqrt(2gh) = sqrt(2 x 9.8 x 2.9) =7.539 m/s2
G value = 9.8 m/s2
Wb = weight of bucket = 0.690 kg x 9.8 m/s2 = 6.762 N
Wa = weight of accumulated water after 3.9 s
Fi = force of impact of water on the bucket
S = reading on the scale = Wa + Wb + Fi
mass of water accumulated after 3.9 s = R x T = 0.370 x 3.9 = 1.443 L = 1.443 kg
Therefore, Wa = 1.443 x 9.8 = 14.1414 N
Fi = rate of change of momentum at the impact point = R x V (because R = dm/dt)
= 0.37 x 7.539 = 2.78943 N
S = 14.1414 + 6.762 + 2.78943 = 23.692 N</span>
