An 85,000 kg stunt plane performs a loop-the-loop, flying in a 260-m-diameter vertical circle. at the point where the plane is f

lying straight down, its speed is 55 m/s and it is speeding up at a rate of 12 m/s per second.

b. what angle does the net force make with the horizontal let an angle above horizontal be positive and an angle below horizontal be negative

A) When the plane is flying straight down, there are three forces acting on it:
- the centripetal force  F=m \frac{v^2}{r}, directed toward the center of the circle (so, horizontally)
- the weight of the plane: W=mg, downward, so vertically
- a third force, given by the propulsion of the plane, which is accelerating it towards the ground (because the problem says that the plane has an acceleration of a=12 m/s^2 towards the ground)

The radius of the circle is r= \frac{260 m}{2} = 130 m, so the centripetal force acting on the plane is
F_c=m \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{(85000 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{130 m}=1.98 \cdot 10^6 N
On the vertical axis, we have two forces: the weight
W=mg=(85000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=8.34 \cdot 10^5 N
and the other force F given by the propulsion. Since we know that their sum should generate an acceleration equal to a=12 m/s^2, we can find the magnitude of this other force F by using Newton's second law:
F+mg=ma
F=m(a-g)=(85000kg)(12 m/s^2-9.81 m/s^2)=1.86 \cdot 10^5 N

So, the net force acting on the plane will be the resultant of the centripetal force (acting in the horizontal direction) and the two forces W and F (acting in the vertical direction):
R= \sqrt{(F_c^2+(W+F)^2}=
= \sqrt{(1.98\cdot 10^6N)^2+(8.34 \cdot 10^5N+1.86 \cdot 10^5 N)^2}  =2.23 \cdot 10^6 N

(b) The tangent of the angle with respect to the horizontal is the ratio between the sum of the forces in the vertical direction (taken with negative sign, since they are directed downward) and the forces acting in the horizontal direction, so:
\tan \theta =  \frac{-(W+F)}{F_c}= -0.5
And so, the angle is
\theta = \arctan (-0.5)=-26.8 ^{\circ}

The ______ is the component of communication through which information is transferred.
MrMuchimi
The medium is the component of communication through which information is transferred. The correct option in the given question is option "c". Medium is actually the means through which communication is done. It can be a an oral message or written message or it can be nonverbal or symbolic. Any kind of message transmission requires a medium and without an medium no message can be transmitted. Whenever people talk on the telephone or write a letter, there has to be a medium for transmitting the message to the person on the other side.

A ball is thrown straight up. If the launch velocity is 15 m/s, at what SPEED will the ball return to the thrower’s hand?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Vf = 15 m/s

Explanation:

First we consider the upward motion of ball to find the height reached by the ball. Using 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

h = height =?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since, ball momentarily stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 15 m/s

Therefore,

2(-9.8 m/s²)h = (0 m/s)² - (15 m/s)²

h = (-225 m²/s²)/(-19.6 m/s²)

h = 11.47 m

Now, we consider downward motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height = 11.47 m

Vf = Final Velocity = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0 m/s

Therefore,

2(9.8 m/s²)(11.47 m) = Vf² - (0 m/s)²

Vf = √(224.812 m²/s²)

<u>Vf = 15 m/s</u>
