A transport plane takes off from a level landing field with two gliders in tow, one behind the other. The mass of each glider is

700 kg, and the total resistance (air drag plus friction with the runway) on each may be assumed constant and equal to 1600 N. The tension in the towrope between the transport plane and the first glider is not to exceed 12000 N. A)If a speed of 40 { m/s} is required for takeoff, what minimum length of runway is needed? B)What is the tension in the towrope between the two gliders while they are accelerating for the takeoff?

Answer:

The total resistance is 5000 N. So the net force left for acceleration is 7 000 N (12 000 - 5 000).

7000 N applied to 2x700 kg gives a maximum acceleration of

a = F/m = 7000/1400kg = 5 m/s^2

At 5m/s^2, it will take 8 s to reach 40 m/s. In 8 second the distance covered will be

d = 1/2 at^2 = 1/2 x 5 x 8^2 = 160 m

Because each glider has the same drag and inertia, the tension in the rope between the gliders will be exactly half of the tension between plane and the two gliders:

12 000/2 = 6 000N.

Answer:

a)-2m/s^2

b)27.2m/s

Explanation:

Hello! The first step to solve this problem is to find the mass of the block remembering that the definition of weight force is mass by gravity (g=9.8m / s ^ 2)

W=455N=weight

W=mg

W=455N=weight

m=\frac{W}{g} =\frac{455}{9.81}=46.38kg

The second step is to draw the free body diagram of the body (see attached image) and use Newton's second law that states that the sum of the forces is equal to mass by acceleration

a=\frac{T-W}{m} =\frac{361-455}{46.38kg} =-2m/s^2

for point b we use the equations of motion with constant acceleration to find the velocity

Vf=\sqrt{X(2)(a)+Vo^2}

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =0

A = acceleration =2m/s

X = displacement =6.8m

Solving

Vf=\sqrt{(6.8)(2)(2)+0^2}=27.2m/s

balu736 [363]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to momentum, momentum and Force. Mathematically the Impulse can be described as

I = F*t

Where,

F= Force

t= time

At the same time the moment can be described as a function of mass and velocity, that is

P = m\Delta v \rightarrow P=m(v_1-v_2)

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

From equilibrium the impulse is equal to the momentum, therefore

I = p

Ft = m(v_1-v_2)

PART A) Since the body ends at rest, we have the final speed is zero, so the momentum would be

p=m(v_1-v_2)

p = 75*0.15

p = 1125Kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the magnitude of the person's impulse is 1125Kg.m/s

PART B) From the equation obtained previously we have that the Force would be:

Ft = m(v_1-v_2)

F(0.025)= 1125

F= 45000N

Therefore the magnitude of the average force the airbag exerts on the person is 45000N

A car horn emits a frequency of 400 Hz. A car traveling at 20.0 m/s sounds the horn as it approaches a stationary pedestrian. Wh
Temka [501]

Answer:

The observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the source, Fs = 400 Hz

speed of the car as it approaches the stationary observer, Vs = 20 m/s

Based on Doppler effect, as the car the approaches the stationary observer, the observed frequency will be higher than the transmitted (source) frequency because of decrease in distance between the car and the observer.

The observed frequency is calculated as;

F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\

where;

F₀ is the observed frequency

v is the speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\400 = F_o [\frac{340}{20 + 340} ] \\\\400 = F_o (0.9444) \\\\F_o = \frac{400}{0.9444} \\\\F_o = 423.55 \ Hz \\

F₀ ≅ 424 Hz.

Therefore, the observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.
