A 1900kg airplane is flying at an altitude of 510 above the ground. What is the gravitational potential energy in Joules?

Physics
1 answer:
Natalija [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: 9496200 joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, GPE is the energy possessed by the moving plane since it moves against gravity.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

Since Mass = 1900kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

h = 510 metres (units of height is metres)

Thus, GPE = 1900kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 510m

GPE = 9496200 joules

Thus, the gravitational potential energy of the airplane is 9496200 joules

Some car manufacturers claim that their vehicles could climb a slope of 42 ∘. For this to be possible, what must be the minimum
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

D. 0.9

Explanation:

Calculating minimum coefficient of static friction, we first resolve the forces (normal and frictional) acting on the vehicle at an angle to the horizontal into their x and y components. After this, we can now substitute the values of x and y components into equation of static friction. Diagrammatic illustration is attached.

Resolving into x component:

                        ∑F_{x} = F_{s} - mgsin\alpha =0

                          F_{s} = mgsin\alpha     ------(1)

Resolving into y component:

                        ∑F_{y} = F_{n} - mgcos\alpha =0

                          F_{n} = mgcos\alpha      ------(2)

Static frictional force, F_{s} \leq μ F_{n}       ------(3)

substituting F_{s} from equation (1) and F_{n} from equation (2) into equation (3)

                         mgsin\alpha \leq μ mgcos\alpha

                         sin\alpha \leq μ cos\alpha

                         μ \geq \frac {sin\alpha}{cos\alpha}

                         μ \geq tan\alpha

The angle the vehicles make with the horizontal α = 42°

                         μ ≥ tan 42°

                         μ ≥ 0.9

Two spherical shells have a common center. A -2.1 10-6 C charge is spread uniformly over the inner shell, which has a radius of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

a) E_total = 6,525 10⁴ N /C ,field direction is radial outgoing

b)  E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / C, field is incoming radial

c) E_total = 0

Explanetion:

For this exercise we can use that the charge in a spherical shell can be considered concentrated at its center and that the electric field inside the shell is zero, since Gauss's law is

                Ф = E .dA = q_{int} /ε₀

inside the spherical shell there are no charges

The electric field is a vector quantity, so we calculate the field created by each shell and add it vectorly.

We have two sphere shells with radii 0.050m and 0.15m respectively

a) point where you want to know the electric field d = 0.20 m

shell 1

the point is on the outside,d>ro,  therefore we can consider the charge to be concentrated in the center

            E₁ = k q₁ / d²

             

shell 2

the point is on the outside,d>ro

             E₂ = k q₂ / d²

the total camp is

              E_total = -E₁ + E₂

              E_total = k ( \frac{-q_1 + q_2}{d^2})

              E_total = 9 10⁹ (-2.1 10⁻⁶+ 5 10⁻⁶ / .2²

              E_total = 6,525 10⁵ N /C

The field direction is radial and outgoing ti the shells

b) the calculation point is d = 0.10m

shell 1

point outside the shell d> ro

                 E₁ = k q₁ / d²

shell 2

the point is inside the shell d <ro

Therefore, according to Gauss's law, since there are no charges in the interior, the electrioc field is zero

                E₂ = 0

               

                 E_total = E₁

                 E_total = k q₁ / d²

                 E_total = 9 10⁹ 2.1 10⁻⁶ / 0.1²

                 E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / A

As the charge is negative, this field is incoming radial, that is, it is directed towards the shell 1

c) the point of interest d = 0.025 m

shell 1

point  is inside the shell d< ro

                 

as there are no charges inside

                     E₁ = 0

shell 2

point is inside the radius of the shell d <ro

                    E₂ = 0

the total field is

                    E_total = 0
