A radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the range to the plane is 375.0 m

at 43.0 ° above the horizon. The plane is tracked for another 123.0 ° in the vertical east-west plane, the range at final contact being 797.0 m. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the plane (in meters) during the period of observation?

Answer:

819.78 m

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • OA = range of initial position of the airplane from the point of observation = 375 m
  • OB = range of the final position of the airplane from the point of observation = 797 m
  • \theta = angle of the initial position vector from the observation point = 43^\circ
  • \alpha = angle of the final position vector from the observation point = 123^\circ
  • \vec{AB} = displacement vector from initial position to the final position

A diagram has been attached with the solution in order to clearly show the position of the plane.

\vec{OA} = OA\cos \theta \hat{i}+OA \sin \theta \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = 375\ m\cos 43^\circ \hat{i}+375\ m\sin 43^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = (274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\vec{OB} = OB\cos \alpha \hat{i}+OB \sin \alpha \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = 797\ m\cos 123^\circ \hat{i}+797\ m\sin 123^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m

Displacement vector of the airplane will be the shortest line joining the initial position of the airplane to the final position of the airplane which is given by:

\vec{AB}=\vec{OB}-\vec{OA}\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} =  (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m-(274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} =  (-708.34\ \hat{i}+412.67\ \hat{j})\ m

The magnitude of the displacement vector = \sqrt{(-708.34)^2+(412.67)^2}\ m = 819.78\ m

Hence, the magnitude of the displacement of the plane is 819.67 m during the period of observation.

The answer is:  " 44 \frac{1}{3} km " ; 
                              or; write as:  " 44.333 km " .
___________________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________________
(70 km + 63 km) ÷ (2 + 1 ) =  133 km ÷ 3 =  " 44 \frac{1}{3} km "  ; 
                                                                            or; write as:  " 44.333 km " .

Galois drove 60.0 kilometers due west in 5.00 hours and then drove 43.0 kilometers due north in 3.00 hours.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

See the attachment for the details.  A right triangle is formed to find the hypotenuse of the two legs consisting of the actual driving distances and times.  The hypotenuse gives the vector information for the displacement at the end of 8 hours of driving.  

The individual driving times and distances are summed to provide:

(<u>a) How far did he travel?</u>

103 km

<u>(b) What was his average speed?</u>

12.88 km/h

<u>(c) What was his displacement?</u>

73.82 km

<u>(d) What was his average velocity?</u>

9.228 km/h

Radiation from the Sun The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. T
Zina [86]

a) Total power output: 3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b) The relative percentage change of power output is 1.67%

c) The intensity of the radiation on Mars is 540 W/m^2

Explanation:

a)

The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given by

I=\frac{P}{A}

where

P is the power output

A is the surface area considered

In this problem, we have

I=1360 W/m^2 is the intensity of the solar radiation at the Earth

The area to be considered is area of a sphere of radius

r=1.5\cdot 10^{11} m (distance Earth-Sun)

Therefore

A=4\pi r^2 = 4 \pi (1.5\cdot 10^{11})^2=2.8\cdot 10^{23}m^2

And now, using the first equation, we can find the total power output of the Sun:

P=IA=(1360)(2.8\cdot 10^{23})=3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b)

The energy of the solar radiation is directly proportional to its frequency, given the relationship

E=hf

where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant, f is the frequency.

Also, the power output of the Sun is directly proportional to the energy,

P=\frac{E}{t}

where t is the time.

This means that the power output is proportional to the frequency:

P\propto f

Here the frequency increases by 1 MHz: the original frequency was

f_0 = 60 MHz

so the relative percentage change in frequency is

\frac{\Delta f}{f_0}\cdot 100 = \frac{1}{60}\cdot 100 =1.67\%

And therefore, the power also increases by 1.67 %.

c)

In this second  case, we have to calculate the new power output of the Sun:

P' = P + \frac{1.67}{100}P =1.167P=1.0167(3.845\cdot 10^{26})=3.910\cdot 10^{26} W

Now we want to calculate the intensity of the radiation measured on Mars. Mars is 60% farther from the Sun than the Earth, so its distance from the Sun is

r'=(1+0.60)r=1.60r=1.60(1.5\cdot 10^{11})=2.4\cdot 10^{11}m

Now we can find the radiation intensity with the equation

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where the area is

A=4\pi r'^2 = 4\pi(2.4\cdot 10^{11})^2=7.24\cdot 10^{23} m^2

And substituting,

I=\frac{3.910\cdot 10^{26}}{7.24\cdot 10^{23}}=540 W/m^2

A. In one short sentence, explain why we call the force of gravity an attractive force.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The force of gravity is called an attractive force because it is the force (although weak) in which a planetary body or matter uses to attract an object towards itself.

(b) Yes, it does and the formula for force of gravity between any two object is

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r}

where m1 and m2 are masses of the first and second object respectively

r is the distance between the center of the two masses

G is the gravitational constant

in a softball game, a batter hits the ball at the velocity of 27m/s and angle of 40 shown below. What is the maximum range of th
Nata [24]

Answer:

R = 73.25 m

Explanation:

We have,

Initial speed of the ball is 27 m/s

It is projected at an angle of 40 degrees

The maximum range of the ball is given by :

R=\dfrac{u^2\sin2\theta}{g}

Plugging all the values we get :

R=\dfrac{(27)^2\sin2(40)}{9.8}\\R=73.25\ m

So, the maximum range of the ball is 73.25 m
