An airplane flies in a loop (a circular path in a vertical plane) of radius 160 m . The pilot's head always points toward the ce

nter of the loop. The speed of the airplane is not constant; the airplane goes slowest at the top of the loop and fastest at the bottom
(a) At the top of the loop, the pilot feels weightless. What is the speed of the airplane at this point?
(b) At the bottom of the loop, the speed of the airplane is 300. What is the apparent weight of the pilot at this point? His true weight is 760 .

Answer:

a) 39.6 m/s b) 4123 N

Explanation:

a) At the top of the loop, all of the forces point downwards (force of gravity and normal force).

Fnet=ma

ma=m(v^2/R) (centripetal acceleration)

mg=m(v^2/R)

m cancels out (this is why pilot feels weightless) so,

g=(v^2/R)

9.8 m/s^2 = v^2/160 m

v^2=1568 m^2/s^2

v=39.6 m/s

b) At the bottom of the loop, the normal force and the force of gravity point in opposite directions. The normal force is the weight felt.

Convert 300 km/hr to m/s

300 km/hr=83.3 m/s

Convert pilot's weight into mass:

760 N = 77.55 kg

Fnet=ma

n-mg=m(v^2/R)

n=(77.55 kg)(((83.3 m/s)^2)/160 m)+(77.55 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)

n=3363.2 N+760 N=4123 N

9. A 50 kg physics i student trudges from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor, going up a total height of 13 m.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

6370 J

Explanation:

By the law of energy conservation, the work done by the student would be the change in potential enegy from 1st floor to 3rd floor, or a change of 13 m

W = E_p = mgh

where m = 50kg is the mass of the student, g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational constant and h = 13 m is the height difference

W = 50*9.8*13 = 6370 J

What does a wave do that is so important?
expeople1 [14]
Waves transmit energy without transmitting matter, This means that we can move energy or information from one place to another without moving any substance from one place to another.

Ex 10: My dog runs at 6 m/s for 18 meters. How long did she run for?
Hunter-Best [27]
She ran for 3s

Put 18/6 because in order to find how long she ran for you need to divide the distance by the meters ran, once you do that you will get 3.
