Answer:

speed wind Vw = 54.04 km / h θ = 87.9º

Explanation:

We have a speed vector composition exercise

In the half hour the airplane has traveled X = 108 km to the west, but is located at coordinated 119 km west and 27 km south

Let's add the vectors in each coordinate axis

X axis (East-West)

-Xvion - Xw = -119

Xw = -Xavion + 119

Xw = 119 -108

Xwi = 1 km

Calculate the speed for time of t = 0.5 h

Vwx = Xw / t

Vwx= 1 /0.5

Vwx = - 2 km / h

Y Axis (North-South)

Y plane - Yi = -27

Y plane = 0

Yw = 27 km

Vwy = 27 /0.5

Vwy = 54 km / h

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry to compose the answer

Vw = √ (Vwx² + Vwy²)

Vw = R 2² + 54²

Vw = 54.04 km / h

tan θ = Vwy / Vwx

tan θ = 54/2 = 27

θ = Tan⁻¹ 1 27

θ = 87.9º

The speed direction is 87. 9th measure In the third quadrant of the X axis in the direction 90-87.9 = 2.1º west from the south

A car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 1.90 m/s2

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Approximately $0.608$ (assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm N\cdot kg^{-1}$ .)

Explanation:

The question provided very little information about this motion. Therefore, replace these quantities with letters. These unknown quantities should not appear in the conclusion if this question is actually solvable.

Let $m$ represent the mass of this car.
Let $r$ represent the radius of the circular track.

This answer will approach this question in two steps:

Step one: determine the centripetal force when the car is about to skid.
Step two: calculate the coefficient of static friction.

For simplicity, let $a_{T}$ represent the tangential acceleration ( $1.90\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ ) of this car.

<h3>Centripetal Force when the car is about to skid</h3>

The question gave no information about the distance that the car has travelled before it skidded. However, information about the angular displacement is indeed available: the car travelled (without skidding) one-quarter of a circle, which corresponds to $90^\circ$ or $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}$ radians.

The angular acceleration of this car can be found as $\displaystyle \alpha = \frac{a_{T}}{r}$ . ( $a_T$ is the tangential acceleration of the car, and $r$ is the radius of this circular track.)

Consider the SUVAT equation that relates initial and final (tangential) velocity ( $u$ and $v$ ) to (tangential) acceleration $a_{T}$ and displacement $x$ :

$v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a_{T}\cdot x$ .

The idea is to solve for the final angular velocity using the angular analogy of that equation:

$\left(\omega(\text{final})\right)^2 - \left(\omega(\text{initial})\right)^2 = 2\, \alpha\, \theta$ .

In this equation, $\theta$ represents angular displacement. For this motion in particular:

$\omega(\text{initial}) = 0$ since the car was initially not moving.
$\theta = \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}$ since the car travelled one-quarter of the circle.

Solve this equation for $\omega(\text{final})$ in terms of $a_T$ and $r$ :

$\begin{aligned}\omega(\text{final}) &= \sqrt{2\cdot \frac{a_T}{r} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\pi\, a_T}{r}}\end{aligned}$ .

Let $m$ represent the mass of this car. The centripetal force at this moment would be:

$\begin{aligned}F_C &= m\, \omega^2\, r \\ &=m\cdot \left(\frac{\pi\, a_T}{r}\right)\cdot r = \pi\, m\, a_T\end{aligned}$ .

<h3>Coefficient of static friction between the car and the track</h3>

Since the track is flat (not banked,) the only force on the car in the horizontal direction would be the static friction between the tires and the track. Also, the size of the normal force on the car should be equal to its weight, $m\, g$ .

Note that even if the size of the normal force does not change, the size of the static friction between the surfaces can vary. However, when the car is just about to skid, the centripetal force at that very moment should be equal to the maximum static friction between these surfaces. It is the largest-possible static friction that depends on the coefficient of static friction.

Let $\mu_s$ denote the coefficient of static friction. The size of the largest-possible static friction between the car and the track would be:

$F(\text{static, max}) = \mu_s\, N = \mu_s\, m\, g$ .

The size of this force should be equal to that of the centripetal force when the car is about to skid:

$\mu_s\, m\, g = \pi\, m\, a_{T}$ .

Solve this equation for $\mu_s$ :

$\mu_s = \displaystyle \frac{\pi\, a_T}{g}$ .

Indeed, the expression for $\mu_s$ does not include any unknown letter. Let $g = 9.81\; \rm N\cdot kg^{-1}$ . Evaluate this expression for $a_T = 1.90\;\rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ :

$\mu_s = \displaystyle \frac{\pi\, a_T}{g} \approx 0.608$ .

When you eat a candy bar, your body oxidizes glucose to get energy. where does this energy come from? kinetic energy of the gluc

babymother [125]

The correct answer is
<span>"chemical bonds within the glucose molecules "

The chemical bonds of the glucose molecules contain chemical energy, and when these bonds are broken by the processes acting inside the body, the energy of the bonds is released and it can be used by the body.

A solid, uniform sphere with a mass of 2.5 kg rolls without slipping down an incline plane starting from rest at a vertical heig

kolezko [41]

Answer:

1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 I ω^2 = m g h conservation of energy

I = 2/5 m R^2 inertia of solid sphere

1/2 m v^2 + 1/5 m ω^2 R^2 = m g h

1/2 v^2 + 1/5 v^2 = g h

v^2 = 10 g h / 7 = 1.43 * 9.80 * 19 m^2/s^2 = 266 m^2/s^2

v = 16.3 m/s

v = R ω

ω = 16.3 / .6 = 27.2 / sec

What eccentricity value results in a circular orbit?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Given the equation of an ellipse:

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

The eccentrity of an ellipse is given by:

$e=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}}$

For a circle, we have

$a=b$

Therefore the eccentricity of a circle is

$e=\sqrt{1-\frac{1^2}{1^2}}=0$
