An airplane cruises at 900 km/h relative to the air. It is flying from Denver, Colorado, due west to Reno, Nevada, a distance of

1200 km, and will then return. There is a steady 80 km/h wind blowing to the east.What is the difference in flight time between the two legs of the trip?

Answer:

26.5 minutes

Explanation:

When the airplane is flying due West from Denver to Reno, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would reduce the ground speed by 80 km/h.

Its Denver to Reno ground speed is 900 - 80 = 720 km/h

The time it takes to cover 1200km at this speed is 1200 / 720 = 1.67 hours

On the other hand, when it returns from Reno to Denver in the due-East direction, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would add to the ground speed by 80 km/h

Its Reno to Denver ground speed is 900 + 80 = 980 km/h

The time it takes to cover 1200 km at this speed is 1200 / 980 = 1.22 hours

The difference it flight time would be 1.67 - 1.22 = 0.44 hours or 26.5 minutes

A physical pendulum in the form of a planar object moves in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 0.460 Hz. The pendulum ha
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The  moment of inertia is  I =1.0697 \ kg m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  frequency is  f  =  0.460 \ Hz

    The  mass of the pendulum is  m  =  2.40  \ kg

    The  location of the pivot from the center is d  =  0.380 \ m

     

Generally the period of the simple harmonic motion is mathematically represented as

        T   = 2 \pi  *  \sqrt{  \frac{I}{ m  *  g *  d  } }

Where I is the moment of inertia about the pivot point , so making I the subject of the formula it

=>    I =  [ \frac{T}{2 \pi } ]^2 *  m*  g * d

But the period of this simple harmonic motion can also be represented mathematically as

        T  =  \frac{1}{f}

substituting values

      T  =  \frac{1}{0.460}

      T  =  2.174 \ s

So

      I =  [ \frac{2.174}{2 * 3.142 } ]^2 *   2.40*  9.8 * 0.380

      I =1.0697 \ kg m^2
