Suppose that a wind is blowing in the direction S45°E at a speed of 30 km/h. A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E

at an airspeed (speed in still air) of 100 km/h. The true course, or track, of the plane is the direction of the resultant of the velocity vectors of the plane and the wind. The ground speed of the plane is the magnitude of the resultant. Find the true course and the ground speed of the plane.

Answer:

The true course: 40.29^\circ north of east

The ground speed of the plane: 96.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

  • V_w = velocity of wind = 30\ km/h\ S45^\circ E = (30\cos 45^\circ\ \hat{i}-30\sin 45^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h
  • V_p = velocity of plane in still air = 100\ km/h\ N60^\circ E = (100\cos 60^\circ\ \hat{i}+100\sin 60^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h

Assume:

  • V_r = resultant velocity of the plane
  • \theta = direction of the plane with the east

Since the resultant is the vector addition of all the vectors. So, the resultant velocity of the plane will be the vector sum of the wind velocity and the plane velocity in still air.

\therefore V_r = V_p+V_w\\\Rightarrow V_r = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h+(21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h\\\Rightarrow V_r = (71.21\ \hat{i}+65.39\ \hat{j})\ km/h

Let us find the direction of this resultant velocity with respect to east direction:

\theta = \tan^{-1}(\dfrac{65.39}{71.21})\\\Rightarrow \theta = 40.29^\circ

This means the the true course of the plane is in the direction of 40.29^\circ north of east.

The ground speed will be the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane.

\therefore Magnitude = \sqrt{71.21^2+65.39^2} = 96.68\ km/h

Hence, the ground speed of the plane is 96.68 km/h.

Derive an expression for the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.Ignorin
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy on the surface of the earth

= - GMm/ R

Potential at height h

=  - GMm/ (R+h)

Potential difference

= GMm/ R -  GMm/ (R+h)

= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )

= GMmh / R (R +h)

This will be the energy needed  to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.

Extra  energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h

= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h

= 1/2 x potential energy at height h

= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)

A baseball is moving at a speed of 2.2m/s when it strikes the catchers glove. The paddding of the glove is compressed by 24mm be
Andre45 [30]

Average acceleration of the baseball: -101 m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the motion of the baseball is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement of the object

For the baseball in this problem, we have:

u = 2.2 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

s = 24 mm = 0.024 m is the displacement of the ball while decelerating

Therefore, we can solve for a to find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-2.2^2}{2(0.024)}=-101 m/s^2

where the negative sign means the baseball is slowing down.

Why might the term red hot be misleading? (relating to stars)
Allushta [10]

red hot is hot, but other colours are even hotter. stars may be hotter than red hot.

there is also something calle the red shift.
