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

Electricity and magnetism can be considered as part of the same phenomenon because both are generated by electromagnetic forces.

<h3>What is electricity?</h3>

Electricity is the movement or flow of negatively charged electrons through a suitable conductor where a charge is applied.

Moreover, magnetism is a natural phenomenon caused by the generation/movement of electric charges.

In conclusion, electricity and magnetism can be considered as part of the same phenomenon because both are generated by electromagnetic forces.

1. A piece of metal weighs 50.0 N in air, 36.0 N in water, and 41.0 N in an unknown
denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) 3.37 x 10^{3} kg/m^3

b) 6.42kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

a) Firstly we would calculate the volume of the metal using it`s weight in air and water , after finding the weight we would find the density .

Weight of metal in air = 50N = mg implies the mass of metal is 5kg.

Now the difference of weight of the metal in air and water = upthrust acting on it = volume (metal) p (liquid) g = V (1000)(10) = 14N. So volume of metal piece = 14 x 10^{-4}  kg/m^{3}. So density of metal = mass of metal / volume of metal = 5 / 14 x 10^{-4}  kg/m^{3} = 3.37 x 10^{3} kg/m^3

b) Water exerts a buoyant force to the metal which is 50−36 = 14N, which equals the weight of water displaced. The mass of water displaced is 14/10 = 1.4kg Since the density of water is 1kg/L, the volume displaced is 1.4L. Hence, we end up with 3.57kg/l. Moreover, the unknown liquid exerts a buoyant force of 9N. So the density of this liquid is 6.42kg/m^{3}
