Answer:

300 meters per second. That's equal to about 670 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Not only are air particles incredibly small, they are always moving. And they move fast. At room temperature, they are going about 300 meters per second. That's equal to about 670 miles per hour.

Dr. John Paul Stapp was U.S. Air Force officer whostudied the effects of extreme deceleration on thehuman body. On December 10,

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

(a) a = 56.4 m/s², his acceleration a, in multiples of gravity g, is 5.76 g

(b) a = -201.43 m/s², his deceleration -a, in multiples of gravity g, is -20.56 g

Explanation:

(a)

When moving upwards, the initial velocity, u = 0 (he accelerated from rest)

When moving upwards, the final velocity, v = 282 m/s

time of motion during this acceleration, t = 5 s

His acceleration is calculated as;

v = u + at

282 = 0 + 5a

a = 282 / 5

a = 56.4 m/s²

Ratio of his acceleration, a to gravity, g = a/g = 56.4 / 9.8 = 5.76

a = 5.76 g

(b)

When moving downwards, the initial velocity, u = 282 m/s

When moving downwards, the final velocity, v = 0 (he was brought to rest)

time of motion during this deceleration, t = 1.4 s

His deceleration is calculated as;

v = u + at

0 = 282 + 1.4a

1.4a = -282

a = -282 / 1.4

a = -201.43 m/s²

Ratio of his deceleration, -a to gravity, g = -a/g = 201.43 / 9.8 = 20.56

a = -20.56 g

The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/

velikii [3]

To solve this problem, you must figure out (in vector form) both the wind vector and plane vector

w⃗ = wind vector

P⃗ = plane vector

To get the true course of the plane, you need to add the plane and wind vectors, the formula would be

w⃗ +P⃗ ,

which will result to the ground speed.

ground speed=||w⃗ +P⃗ ||

Using the planar representation of your situation, this will help you understand the equation, use this to make the equation more understandable.

w⃗ =AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, P⃗ =AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

the smaller circle is of radius 50 (similar to the wind speed) and the larger circle is of radius 200 (similar to the plane vector. To get the coordinates of these two vectors, use polar coordinates.

Let East be 0 degrees, so since the wind vector is on the circle of radius 50, we have:

w⃗ =⟨50cos(135),50sin(135)⟩=⟨−252√, 252√⟩.

P⃗ =⟨200cos(60),200sin(60)⟩=⟨100,\1003√⟩.

w⃗ +P⃗ =⟨100−252√ , 1003√+252√⟩

||w⃗ +P⃗ ||=(100−252√)2+(1003√+252√)2

√≈218.349218.
