A Plane crashes into the side of a mountain. If the crash took place over 9

Physics

Julli [10]2 years ago
6 0

Given parameters:

Duration of crash = 9min

Velocity before crash = 2000 yards per second

Unknown:

Acceleration of the plane = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the change of velocity with time.

  Acceleration  = \frac{V - U}{t}

where v is the final velocity

          u is the initial velocity

          t is the time taken

We need to convert the time into seconds from min;

                      60s  = 1 min

                                So, 9min = 60 x 9 = 540s

So input the parameters and solve;

                  Acceleration = \frac{2000 - 0 }{540}  = 3.7yards/s²

The acceleration of the plane is 3.7yards/s²

A force of 55N accelerates a 7.5kg wagon at 5.3 m/s^2 along a road. How large is the frictional force?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

<h2>15.25 N</h2>

Explanation:

       A force of 55\text{ }N is acting on a wagon along the road. The wagon weights 7.5\text{ }kg. Acceleration of the wagon is given as 5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

       Consider the block as the system, the forces acting are Frictional force, Gravitational force, Normal reaction and External force applied by us.

       Gravitational Force and Normal Reaction cancel out each other.

       Net External Force = Mass of system/wagon \times Acceleration of wagon

       F_{ext}-F_{friction}=(7.5\text{ }kg)\times(5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}})=39.75\text{ }N\\55\text{ }N-F_{friction}=39.75\text{ }N\\F_{friction}=15.25\text{ }N

F_{friction} has a negative sign because it opposes the motion of the wagon.

∴ Frictional Force = 15.25 N

A 20 metric ton train moves toward the south at 50 m/s. At what speed must it travel to have four times its original momentum
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

200 m/s

Explanation:

as momentum is a product of mass and speed, and mass is not changing, four times the speed will result in four times the momentum.

p = mv

4p = m(4v)

An airplane flying at 115 m/s due east makes a gradual turn following a circular path to fly south. The turn takes 15 seconds to
bulgar [2K]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Centripetal and Perimeter acceleration of a circle.

The perimeter of a circle is defined by

P = 2\pi r

Where,

r= radius

While centripetal acceleration is defined by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v= velocity

r= radius

PART A)

The distance of a body can be defined based on the speed and the time traveled, that is

x = v*t

For our values the distance is equal to

x = 15*115=1725m

The plane when going to make the turn from east to south makes a quarter of the circumference that is

\frac{P}{4} = \frac{2\pi r}{4}

The same route you take is the distance traveled, that is

x = \frac{P}{4}

x = \frac{2\pi r}{4}

1725 = \frac{2\pi r}{4}

r = 1098.17m

PART B)

With the radius is possible calculate he centripetal acceleration,

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

a = \frac{115^2}{1098.17}

a = 12.04m/s^2

Therefore the radius of the curva that the plane follows in making the turn is 1098.17m with a centripetal acceleration of 12.04m/s^2
