An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 480 km/h. If its wings are tilted 40° to the horizontal, what is the

radius of the circle in which the plane is flying? Assume that the required force is provided entirely by an "aerodynamic lift" that is perpendicular to the wing surface.

Answer:

r = 2161.9 m

Explanation:

Aerodynamic lift(L) is perpendicular to the wing, which is tilted 40 degrees to the horizontal.

Since the plane is moving in a horizontal circle, the vertical component of the lift must cancel the weight W of the airplane, but the horizontal component is the centripetal force that keeps it in a circle.

L is perpendicular to wing at angle θ with respect to horizontal

Thus,

Vertical component of lift is:

L cosθ = W = mg

Thus, m = L cosθ / g - - - - (eq1)

Horizontal component of lift is:

L sinθ = centripetal force = mv² / r - - - - (eq2)

Combining equations 1 and 2,we have;

L sinθ = (L cosθ / g)(v² / r)

L cancels out on both sides to give;

tanθ = v²/ rg

r = v² / (g tanθ)

We are given;

velocity; v = 480 km/hr = 480 x 10/36 = 133.33 m/s

r = 133.33²/[(9.8) tan(40)] = 2161.9 m

Suppose 1 kg of Hydrogen is converted into Helium. a) What is the mass of the He produced? b) How much energy is released in thi
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) m = 993 g

b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Explanation:

atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794

4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176

we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602

difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158

fraction of mass lost = \dfrac{0.029158}{4.03176}= 0.00723

loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23

a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)

b) energy released in the process

E = m c²

E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²

E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Find the orbital speed v for a satellite in a circular orbit of radius R.Express the orbital speed in terms of G, M, and R.
AlekseyPX
<h2>Answer:V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}  </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}     (1)

Where:

G is the gravity constant

M the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

R the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the sun due to the earth?The earth does not exert any gravitational f
Sholpan [36]

I haven't worked on Part-A, and I don't happen to know the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.  

But whatever it is, it's exactly, precisely, identical, the same, and equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun.

I think that's the THIRD choice here, but I'm not sure of that either.

<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />

According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.  

Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}  

Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.

Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely  true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:

If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
