A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 425 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed

of 35 mi/h. (Assume that the i vector points east, and the j vector points north.)
(a) Express the velocity of the wind as a vector in component form.
(b) Express the velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form.
(c) Find the true velocity of the jet as a vector.
(d) Find the true speed and direction of the jet.

Answer:

(a)Velocity of wind = 35 j

(b)Velocity of jet relative to air = 425 i

(c)True velocity of jet = 425 i + 35 j

(d)True speed of jet = $\sqrt{425^{2}+35^{2}}$ = 426.88 mi/h

Direction of jet is, ∅ = $tan^{-1} \frac{40}{425}$ = 5.38°

Explanation:

We can represent east direction by i and north direction by j.

The jet has a relative speed of 425 mi/h relative to the air.

The wind is blowing due north with a speed of 35 mi/h = 35 j

425 mi/h is the relative speed with respect to wind that is

Velocity of jet wrt wind= $V_{jw}$ = $V_{j}-V_{w}$

425 i = $V_{j}$ - 35 j

$V_{j}$ = 425 i + 35 j

(a)Velocity of wind = 35 j

(b)Velocity of jet relative to air = 425 i

(c)True velocity of jet = 425 i + 35 j

(d)True speed of jet = $\sqrt{425^{2}+35^{2}}$ = 426.88 mi/h

Direction of jet is,

∅ = $tan^{-1} \frac{40}{425}$ = 5.38°

Is it possible for an object to be in motion without any external force applied? justify

Rudiy27

Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

In a Broadway performance, an 84.5-kg actor swings from a R = 4.30-m-long cable that is horizontal when he starts. At the bottom

Arada [10]

Answer:

1.57772 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of actor = 84.5 kg

m = Mass of costar = 55 kg

v = Velocity of costar

V = Velocity of actor

$h_i$ = Intial height of actor = 4.3 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

As the energy of the system is conserved

$\frac{1}{2}MV^2=Mgh_i\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2gh_i}\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 4.3}\\\Rightarrow V=9.18509\ m/s$

As the linear momentum is conserved

$MV=(m+M)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{MV}{m+M}\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{84.5\times 9.18509}{84.5+55}\\\Rightarrow v=5.56372\ m/s$

Applying conservation of energy again

$\frac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2=(m+M)gh_f\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{5.56372^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h_f=1.57772\ m$

The maximum height they reach is 1.57772 m

An object is dropped from a bridge. A second object is thrown downward 1.48 s later. They both reach the water 48.1 m below at t

pashok25 [27]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. With the data provided we will calculate the time of the first object to fall. Later we will get the time difference between the two. This difference will allow us to find the free fall distance. Through the distance we will find the initial velocity, that is,

$x = v_0 t +\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$48.1 = 0*t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2$

$t = 3.13s$

The second object is thrown downward at one second later and it meets the first object at the water is

$t' = 3.13 -1.48$

$t' = 1.65s$

The distance of the object will travel due to free fall acceleration is

$x = v_0 t+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$x = 0*(1.65) +\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1.65)^2$

$x = 13.34m$

The distance of the object will travel due to its initial velocity is

$v_0 = \frac{d_0}{t}$

$d_0 = v_0 t$

$48.1-13.34 = v_0 (1.65)$

$v_0 = 21.06m/s$

Therefore the initial speed of the second object is 21.06m/s
