A model airplane of mass 0.6 kg is attached to a horizontal string and flies in a horizontal circle of radius 6 m, making 1.6 re

volutions every 5 s. (The weight of the plane is balanced by the upward “lift” force of the air on the wings of the plane.) The accelaration due to the gravity is 9.81 m/s2 . Find the speed of the plane. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

$speed= 12.15\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

In this question we have given

mass of airplane=.6 Kg

Radius of horizontal circle,r=6m

Time taken to complete 1.6 revolution=5s

Therefore time taken to complete 1 revolution, t= $\frac{5}{1.6}$

t=3.1 s

We have to find the speed of airplane

We will first find the distance covered by airplane in tracing one circle which is equal to circumference of circle

We know that

Circumference,d = $2 \pi \times r$

or $d=2\times 3.14 \times 6$

$d=37.68 m$

We know that speed= $\frac{d}{t}$ ............(1)

Put value of d and t in equation 1

speed= $\frac{37.68}{3.1}$

$speed= 12.15\frac{m}{s}$

Two cars A and B are 100m apart moving towards each other with

maxonik [38]

Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time <em>t</em> is

A: <em>x</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em>

and car B has position at time <em>t</em> of

B: <em>x</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>

<em />

They meet when their positions are equal:

(40 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>

(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m

<em>t</em> = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s

so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.

They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:

(40 m/s) <em>t</em> - (100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>) = 100 m

(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)

(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 200 m

<em>t</em> = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s

so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.

24 A uniform electric field of magnitude 1.1×104 N/C is perpendicular to a square sheet with sides 2.0 m long. What is the elect

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$44,000 Nm^2/C$

Explanation:

The electric flux through a certain surface is given by (for a uniform field):

$\Phi = EA cos \theta$

where:

E is the magnitude of the electric field

A is the area of the surface

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the field and of the normal to the surface

In this problem, we have:

$E=1.1\cdot 10^4 N/C$ is the electric field

L = 2.0 m is the side of the sheet, so the area is

$A=L^2=(2.0)^2=4.0 m^2$

$\theta=0^{\circ}$ , since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface

Therefore, the electric flux is

$\Phi =(1.1\cdot 10^4)(4.0)(cos 0^{\circ})=44,000 Nm^2/C$

A bike rider pedals with constant acceleration to reach a velocity of 7.8 m/s over a time of 4.2 s. during the period of acceler

Artyom0805 [142]

To calculate the initial velocity of the bike, we use the following equation

$d=\frac{1}{2} (u+v)t$ .

or

$u=\frac{2d}{t} -v$

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, t is the time and d is the distance covered by bike.

Given, $u =7.8 m/s$ , $d= 19 m$ and $t=4.2 s$ .

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

$u = \frac{2 \times 19}{4.2 \ s} -7.8 m/s = 9.05 \ m/s - 7.8 \ m/s \\\\ u= 1.2 m/s$ .

Thus, the initial velocity of the bike is 1.2 m/s.

A student is wearing a pair of sunglasses designed to reduce the glare from reflected surfaces. When the student tilts her head

agasfer [191]

The answer is polarization. It is just like when you are on a boat and use polarized glasses so the water wont reflect into your eyes it also intensifies the color of the water so you can see better into the water.
example: you cant see any fish because glare from the sun, put on polarized glasses and now you can see fish up to 30 feet deep.
