A plane travels down a runway 2750 m before it lifts off at an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal. The plane has traveled 1

ss7ja [257]

Answer: 4.236km

Explanation:

Let's define the point (x, y) as:

x = horizontal distance moved.

y = vertical distance moved.

If the plane starts in the point (0, 0) then:

"A plane travels down a runway 2750 m before it lifts off..."

At this time, the position will be:

P = (0 + 2750m, 0) = (2750m, 0).

"it lifts off at an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal. The plane has traveled 1.8 km since its wheels left the ground."

In this case, as the angle is measured from the horizontal, the components will be:

x = 1.8km*cos(37°) = 1.438km

y = 1.8km*sin(37°) = 1.083 km

Then the new position is:

P = (2750m + 1.438 km, 0 + 1.083 km)

Let's write it using the same units for all the quantities:

we know that

1km = 1000m

Then:

2750m = (2750/1000) km = 2.750 km.

Then we can write the new position as:

P = (2.750 km + 1.438km, 1.083km) = (4.188km, 1.083km)

Now, we define the displacement as the distance between the final position and the initial position.

The distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is:

D = √( (a c)^2 + (b - d)^2)

In this case the points are:

(0, 0) for the initial position

(4.188km, 1.083km) for the final position.

And the displacement will be:

D = √( (4.188km - 0)^2 + (1.083 - 0)^2) = 4.236km

A 35.4 kg girl is riding on the back of a 15.23 kg cart. the cart and the kid are both moving eastward at 4.25 m/s when she step

Grace [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the cart is $v_c = 7.02 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the girl is $m_g = 35.4 \ kg$

The mass of the cart is $m_c = 15.23 \ kg$

The speed of the cart and kid(girl) is $v = 4.25 \ m/s$

The final velocity of the girl is $v_g = 3.06 \ m/s$

Let assume that velocity eastward is positive and velocity westward is negative (Note that if we assume vise versa it wouldn't affect the answer )

The total momentum of the system before she steps off the back of the cart

is mathematically evaluated as

$p__{T1}} = (m_g + m_c) * v$

substituting values

$p__{T1}} = (35.4 + 15.23) * 4.25$

$p__{T1}} =215.17 \ kg m /s$

The total momentum after she steps off the back of the cart is mathematically evaluated as

$p__{T2}} = (m_g * v_g ) +( m_c * v_c )$

Where $v_c$ is the final velocity of the cart

substituting values

$p__{T2}} = (35.4 * 3.06 ) +( 15.23 * v_c )$

$p__{T2}} = 108. 324 + 15.23 v_c$

Now according to the law of conservation of momentum

$p__{T1}} =p__{T2}}$

$215.17 \ kg m /s = 108. 324 + 15.23 v_c$

=> $v_c = 7.02 \ m/s$

Since the value is positive it implies that the cart moved eastward
