An airplane is flying in a jet stream that is blowing at 45.0 m/s in a direction 23° south of east. Its direction of motion rela

tive to the earth is 45.0° south of west, while its direction of travel relative to the air is 7° south of west. What is the airplane's speed relative to the air mass in meters per second?

Answer:

velocity with respect to air as

Vpa = 1.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Vae = 45.0 m/s

\theta_ae (air with respect to earth) = 23°

\theta_pe (plane with respect to Earth) = 45°

\theta_pa (plane with respect to air) =7°

We have ,

Vpe = Vpa + Vae

substituting each values with corresponding angle we get

Vpe (cos 45i + sin45 j) = Vpa (cos 7i + sin7 j) + 45 (cos 23i + sin23 j)

where,

Vpe - plane velocity with repect to earth

Vpa - planevelocity with respect to air

Vae - air velocity with respect to earth

Solving

Vpe (0.52i + 0.85 j) = Vpa (0.73i + 0.65 j) + 45 (-0.53i - 0.84 j)

considering i terms and j terms separately

Vpe *0.52 = Vpa (0.73 +45 *(-0.53))

Vpe = 1.40 Vpa -45.86

Vpe *0.85 = Vpa (0.65 +45 *(-0.84)

Vpe =0.76Vpa - 44.47

putting one value Vpe in either equation we get :

1.40 Vpa -45.86 = 0.76Vpa - 44.47

velocity with respect to air as

Vpa = 1.83 m/s

a liquid reactant is pumped through a horizontal, cylindrical, catalytic bed. The catalyst particles are spherical, 2mm in diame

natulia [17]

Answer:

The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;

we have:

$\frac{\delta P}{L}= \frac{150 \mu_oU(1- \epsilon )^2}{d^2p \epsilon^3} + \frac{1.75 \rho U^2(1-\epsilon)}{dp \epsilon^3}$

where;

L = length of the bed

$\mu$ = viscosity

U = superficial velocity

$\epsilon$ = void fraction

dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)

$\rho$ = liquid density (kg/m³)

However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

where;

ΔP = pressure drop

Q = flow rate

Given that:

9.6 = A12 + B12²

Then

12A + 144B = 9.6 -------------- equation (1)

24A + 576B = 24.1 --------------- equation (2)

Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So

288 B = 4.9

B = 0.017014

From equation (1)

12A + 144B = 9.6

12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6

12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)

$A = \frac{9.6 -144(0.017014}{12}$

A = 0.5958

Thus;

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

Given that ΔP = 50 psi

Then

50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²

Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;

Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;

Q = 39.46 ft³/hr

Newton's Law of Gravitation states that two bodies with masses m1 and m2 attract each other with a force F, where r is the dista

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

W = - 5.01 10¹⁰ J

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

W = ∫ F.dr

Where the blacks indicate vectors, in the case the force is radial and the distance is also radial, whereby the scalar producer is reduced to an ordinary product

W = ∫ F dr

W = G m₁m₂ ∫ 1 /r² dr

W = G m₁ m₂2(-1 / r)

We evaluate between the lower limits r = Re and upper r = ∞

W = G m₁m₂ (-1 / Re + 1 / ∞)

W = - G m₁ m₂ / Re

Let's calculate

W = - 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 800 5.98 10²⁴ / 6.37 10⁶

W = - 5.01 10¹⁰ J

viva [34]

Answer:

$a=0.2*10^{-5}g$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $M=180=>0.18kg$

Charge $Q=18mC=18*10^-^3C$

Velocity $v=2.2m/s$

Length of Wire $L=8.6cm=>0.086$

Current $I=30A$

Generally the equation for Magnetic Field of Wire B is mathematically given by

$B=\frac{\mu_0*I}{2\pi*l}$

$B=\frac{4*3.14*10^-^7*I}{2*3.14*8.6}$

$B=6.978*10^{-5}T$

Generally the equation for Force on the plane F is mathematically given by

$F=qvB$

Therefore

$ma=qvB$

$a=\frac{qvB}{m}$

$a=\frac{18*10^{-5}83.4*6.978*10^{-5}}{0.18kg}$

$a=2.37*10^{-5}$

Therefore in Terms of g's

$a=\frac{2.37*10^{-5}}{9.8}$

$a=0.2*10^{-5}g$
