The maximum lift-to-drag ratio of the World War I Sopwith Camel was 7.7. If the aircraft is in flight at 5000 ft when the engine

fails, how far can it glide in terms of distance measured along the ground?

The related concepts to solve this problem is the Glide Ratio. This can be defined as the product between the height of fall and the lift-to-drag ratio. Mathematically, this expression can be written as,

R = h (\frac{L}{D})_{max}

Replacing,

R = 5000ft (7.7)

R = 38500ft

Converting this units to miles.

R = 38500ft (\frac{1mile}{5280ft})

R = 7.2916miles

Therefore the glide in terms of distance measured along the ground is 7.2916miles

Answer:

v_a=0.8176 m/s

\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

Being m_a and m_b the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

M_1=m_av_a+m_bv_b

Since b is initially at rest

M_1=m_av_a

After the collision and being v'_a and v'_b the respective velocities, the total momentum is

M_2=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b

Both momentums are equal, thus

m_av_a=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b

Solving for v_a

v_a=\frac{m_av'_a+m_bv'_b}{m_a}

v_a=\frac{0.254Kg\times (-0.123 m/s)+0.367Kg (0.651m/s)}{0.254Kg}

v_a=0.8176 m/s

The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)

K_1=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2

K_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.254Kg) (0.8176m/s)^2=0.0849 J

The final kinetic energy is

K_2=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a'^2+\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b'^2

K_2=\frac{1}{2}0.254Kg (-0.123m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}0.367Kg (0.651m/s)^2=0.07969 J

The change of kinetic energy is

\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J

Can i get help for the parts for the two questions? MATHPHYSSSS
Anestetic [448]

Explanation:

003 (part 1 of 2)

Pressure is force divided by area.

P = F / A

P = (117 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / (2 × (0.05 m)²)

P = 229,320 Pa

003 (part 2 of 2)

There are approximately 6895 Pa in 1 psi.

P = 229,320 Pa × (1 psi / 6895 Pa)

P = 33.3 psi

004 (part 1 of 2)

Since the collisions are elastic, the angle of reflection is the same as the angle of incidence (it bounces off at the same angle).

Impulse = change in momentum

F Δt = m Δv

F (36 s) = (300 × 0.003 kg) (5.2 sin 57° m/s − (-5.2 sin 57° m/s))

F = 0.218 N

004 (part 2 of 2)

Pressure is force over area.

P = F / A

P = 0.218 N / 0.712 m²

P = 0.306 N/m²
