You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land.

Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen, out over the ocean surface. The first is at altitude 800 m above the surface, horizontal distance 18.0 km, and 25.0° south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1,100 m, horizontal distance 20.0 km, and 20.0° south of west.
1. Your supervisor is concerned that the two aircraft are too close together and asks for a separation distance (in km) for the two airplanes. (Place the x-axis west, the y-axis south, and the z-axis vertical.)

Answer:

d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

We can solve this distance exercise with vectors, the easiest method s to find the components of the position of each plane and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find distance between them

Airplane 1

Height   y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

           cos 25 = x / r

           sin 25 = z / r

           x₁ = r cos 20

           z₁ = r sin 25

          x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

          z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m= 7607 m

2 plane

Height   y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

          x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

          z₂ = 20 103 without 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

The distance between the planes using the Pythagorean Theorem is

         d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Let's calculate

        d² = (18126-16314)²  + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

        d² = 3,283 106 +9 104 + 7,140 105

        d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

        d = √(408.7 10⁴)

        d = 20,216 10² m

        d = 2021.6 km

A hoop (I = MR2) of mass 3 kg and radius 1.1 m is rolling at a center-of-mass speed of 11 m/s. An external force does 842 J of w
Scilla [17]

Answer:

v_f = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Since the hoop is rolling on the floor so its total kinetic energy is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

now for pure rolling condition we will have

v = R\omega

also we have

I = mR^2

now we will have

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(mR^2)\frac{v^2}{R^2}

KE = mv^2

now by work energy theorem we can say

W = KE_f - KE_i

842 J = mv_f^2 - mv_i^2

842 = 3(v_f^2) - 3\times 11^2

now solve for final speed

v_f = 20 m/s

With thermodynamics, one cannot determine ________. Question 6 options: the speed of a reaction the direction of a spontaneous r
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A.  the speed of a reaction

Explanation:

The thermodynamic aspect of a reaction will show you the energy needed for a reaction to occur. If the energy difference(ΔG)  is positive, which means the reaction is absorbing energy and it called endothermically. The opposite will be an exothermic reaction that will release energy, which means it doesn't need energy and the energy difference (ΔG) will be negative.  

Thermodynamic can be used to determine a few things of a reaction, like the direction of the reaction, the extent, or temperature in which the reaction is spontaneous. But thermodynamic not used to find the speed of a reaction.

The gravitational force, F, between an object and the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the obj
andreev551 [17]
<h2>Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds</h2>

Explanation:

Given that gravitational force, F, between an object and the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object and the center of the Earth.

             F=\frac{k}{r^2}

Where F is gravitational force  between an object and the Earth, r is the distance from the object and the center of the Earth and k is a constant.

Radius of Earth = 4000 miles

In case 1 an astronaut weighs 209 pounds on the surface of the Earth,

              209=\frac{k}{4000^2}\\\\k=3.344\times 10^9

Now we need to find weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth    

              r = 4000 + 2450 = 6450 miles

               F=\frac{k}{6450^2}\\\\F=\frac{3.344\times 10^9}{6450^2}=80.38pounds

Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds
