Answer:

Car speedometer only measures speed and doesn't give any information about direction. So yes to speed, no to velocity.

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what

Sphinxa [80]

Let's be clear: The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.

<h3>What is Potential and Kinetic energy?</h3>

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in any item or system as a result of its location or component arrangement. The environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height, has no impact on it. In contrast, kinetic energy refers to the energy of moving particles inside a system or an item.

mass of rod, mab = 2.4kg

mass of rod, mbc = 4kg

conservation of energy

$T_{1} + V_{1} = T_{2} + V_{2}$

$h_{ab} = h_{bc} = 0.18m$

potential energy at position 1,

$V1 = m_{ab} gh_{ab} + m_{bc} gh_{bc}$

V1 = 2.5 * 9.81 * 0.18 + 4 * 9.81 * 0.18

V1 = 11.30112

kinetic energy T1 at position 1 is zero

potential energy at position 2 is zero

K.E at position 2,

$T_{2} = \frac{1}{2} l_{ab} w^{2}_{ab} + \frac{1}{2} m_{bc} v^{2}_{G} + \frac{1}{2} lw^{2}_{bc}$

$l_{ab} =\frac{m_{ab} l^{2}_{ab} }{3}$

= 1/3 *4 * (0.36)²

=0.10368kg m²

$l =\frac{m_{bc} l^{2}_{bc} }{12}$

= 1/12 *4 * (0.6)²

=0.12kg m²

on putting the values in above equation we get,

T₂ = 1.0667vb²

0 + 11.30112 = 1.0667vb² + 0

vb = 3.2549 m/s

The outer layer of cable on a cable reel is 16.2 cm from the center of the reel. The reel is initially stationary and can rotate

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. w=12.68rad/s

C. α=3.52rad/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by taking into account that (as in the uniformly accelerated motion)

$\theta=\omega_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}\\\theta = \frac{s}{r}$ ( 1 )

where w0 is the initial angular speed, α is the angular acceleration, s is the arc length and r is the radius.

In this case s=3.7m, r=16.2cm=0.162m, t=3.6s and w0=0. Hence, by using the equations (1) we have

$\theta=\frac{3.7m}{0.162m}=22.83rad$

$22.83rad=\frac{1}{2}\alpha (3.6s)^2\\\\\alpha=2\frac{(22.83rad)}{3.6^2s}=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}$

to calculate the angular speed w we can use $\alpha=\frac{\omega _{f}-\omega _{i}}{t _{f}-t _{i}}\\\\\omega_{f}=\alpha t_{f}=(3.52\frac{rad}{s^2})(3.6)=12.68\frac{rad}{s}$

Thus, wf=12.68rad/s

C) We can use our result in B)

$\alpha=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}$

I hope this is useful for you

How are stars formed and classified?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Stars form from an accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars. Stars are typically classified by their spectrum in what is known as the Morgan-Keenan or MK system.
