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

What are the density, specific gravity and mass of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m * 6 m * 8 m at 100 kPa and 25 C.
Volgvan

Answer:

Density = 1.1839 kg/m³

Mass = 227.3088 kg

Specific Gravity = 0.00118746 kg/m³

Explanation:

Room dimensions are 4 m, 6 m & 8 m. Thus, volume = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192 m³

Now, from tables, density of air at 25°C is 1.1839 kg/m³

Now formula for density is;

ρ = mass(m)/volume(v)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

1.1839 = m/192

m = 227.3088 kg

Formula for specific gravity of air is;

S.G_air = density of air/density of water

From tables, density of water at 25°C is 997 kg/m³

S.G_air = 1.1839/997 = 0.00118746 kg/m³

A 2000 kg car moving at 100 km/h crosses the top of a hill with a radius of curvature of 100 m. What is the normal force exerted
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The normal force the seat exerted on the driver is 125 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 2000 kg

speed of the car, u = 100 km/h = 27.78 m/s

radius of curvature of the hill, r = 100 m

mass of the driver, = 60 kg

The centripetal force of the driver at top of the hill is given as;

F_c = F_g - F_N

where;

Fc is the centripetal force

F_g is downward force due to weight of the driver

F_N is upward or normal force on the drive

F_N = F_g-F_c\\\\F_N = mg - \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\F_N = (60 \times 9.8) -\frac{60 \ \times \ 27.78^2 \ }{100} \\\\F_N = 588 \ N - 463 \ N\\\\F_N = 125 \ N

Therefore, the normal force the seat exerted on the driver is 125 N.

A single mass (m1 = 3.5 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 278 N/m. 1)What is the dist
artcher [175]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.126m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;

F = k x e            -------------------(i)

Where;

k = the spring's constant.

From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e

F = W               -----------------------(ii)

<em>But;</em>

W = m x g;

where;

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]

<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>

F = W = m x g

<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>

F = k x e

m x g = k x e      ------------------(iii)

<em>From the question;</em>

m = m1 = 3.5kg

k = 278N/m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

3.5 x 10 = 278 x e

35 = 278e

<em>Now solve for e;</em>

e = 35/278

e = 0.126m

Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at
inn [45]

Answer:

a)v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

b)H=8.9605\,m

Explanation:

Given:

mass of bullet, m=4.97\times 10^{-3}\,kg

compression of the spring, \Delta x=0.0476\,m

force required for the given compression, F=9.12 \,N

(a)

We know

F=m.a

where:

a= acceleration

9.12=4.97\times 10^{-3}\times a

a\approx 1835\,m.s^{-2}\\

we have:

initial velocity,u=0\,m.s^{-1}

Using the eq. of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.\Delta x

where:

v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.

v^2= 0^2+2\times 1835\times 0.0476

v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

(b)

Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"

so,

u=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

v=0\,m.s^{-1}

Using the equation of motion:

v^2=u^2-2g.h

where:

h= height

g= acceleration due to gravity

0^2=13.2171^2-2\times 9.8\times h

h=8.9129\,m

is the height from the release position of the spring.

So, the height from the latched position be:

H=h+\Delta x

H=8.9129+0.0476

H=8.9605\,m
