An airplane is flying at a constant velocity through the air. What is the relationship between the magnitudes of the four forces

shown in the diagram?

Answer:

(B) L=W; F=D

Explanation:

Since the airplane's velocity is constant, the airplane is not accelerating in any direction. In absence of acceleration, all forces acting on the plane are balanced so that the net forces in the horizontal and the vertical directions are zero. Given the drawing, this implies that

Forward force = Drag force (F=D)

Weight = Lift (W=L)

which corresponds to option (B)

(it is not C because nothing in the text says that the vertical and horizontal components have to have same magnitude)

of a sound wave increases. 

Pitch and amplitude are both characteristics of a wave, but they're not

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by U(x) = + a) Suppose the particle is moving w
gtnhenbr [62]

Correct question:

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by

U(x) = \frac{(2.0 Jm)}{x}+ \frac{(4.0 Jm^2)}{x^2}

a) Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s when it is located at x = 1.00 m. What is the speed of the object when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

b) What is the magnitude of the force on the 4.00-kg particle when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

Answer:

a) 3.33 m/s

b) 0.016 N

Explanation:

a) given:

V = 3.00 m/s

x1 = 1.00 m

x = 5.00

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

At x = 1.00 m

u(1) = \frac{-2}{1} + \frac{4}{1^2}

= 4J

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

= \frac{1}{2} * 4(3)^2

= 18J

Total energy will be =

4J + 18J = 22J

At x = 5

u(5) = \frac{-2}{5} + \frac{4}{5^2}

= \frac{4-10}{25} = \frac{-6}{25} J

= -0.24J

Kinetic energy =

\frac{1}{2} * 4Vf^2

= 2Vf²

Total energy =

2Vf² - 0.024

Using conservation of energy,

Initial total energy = final total energy

22 = 2Vf² - 0.24

Vf² = (22+0.24) / 2

Vf = \sqrt{frac{22.4}{2}

= 3.33 m/s

b) magnitude of force when x = 5.0m

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

\frac{-du(x)}{dx} = \frac{-d}{dx} [\frac{-2}{x}+ \frac{4}{x^2}

= \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^3}

At x = 5.0 m

\frac{2}{5^2} - \frac{8}{5^3}

F = \frac{2}{25} - \frac{8}{125}

= 0.016N
