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 7.36 g sample of copper is contaminated with a additional 0.51 g sample of zinc. Suppose an atomic mass measurement was perfor
yawa3891 [41]
The molar mass of the sample is equal to the summation of the molar mass of the elementas multiplied by the abundance of the elements by mole. In this case, copper has an abundance of 93.69 percent while zinc has 6.31 percent. In this case, the average molecular weight is 63.67 g/mol

3.) An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use the airport,
scoray [572]

Answer: 704

Explanation:Vi = 0 m/s

vf = 65 m/s

a = 3 m/s2

d = ??

vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d

(65 m/s)2 = (0 m/s)2 + 2*(3 m/s2)*d

4225 m2/s2 = (0 m/s)2 + (6 m/s2)*d

(4225 m 2/m2)/(6 m/s2) = d

d = 704 m

Which of the following will cause an induced current in a coil of wire? Which of the following will cause an induced current in
svp [43]

Answer:

a magnet being moved into or out of the coil

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction on a coil of wire depends on relative motion between the wire and a magnetic field. If there is no relative motion between the magnet and the coil, no current is included on the wire. This implies that a stationary magnet around a coil of wire will not produce induced current on a stationary conductor or wire.

Summarily, whenever a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field, current is induced on the conductor.
