The drawing shows two planes each dropping an empty fuel tank. At the moment of release each plane has the same speed of 140 m/s

, and each tank is at the same height of 3.98 km above the ground. Although the speeds are the same, the velocities are different at the instant of release, because one plane is flying at an angle of 15.0° above the horizontal and the other is flying at an angle of 15.0° below the horizontal. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the velocity with which the fuel tank hits the ground if it is from plane A. Find the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the velocity with which the fuel tank hits the ground if it is from plane B. In each part, give the direction as a positive angle with respect to the horizontal.

Answer:

V = 308.1 m/s    θ = -64º

Explanation:

a and b)  We will use the projectile launch equations where we are asked to find the speed when the tank reaches the ground

Let's start by breaking down the speed

              Vox = Vo cos θ

              Voy = Vo sint θ

              Vox = 140 cos 15 = 135.2 m / s

              Voy = 140 sin 15 = 36.2 m / s

Let's look for vertical speed when it hits the ground

              Vy² = Voy² - 2gy

              Vy = √(36.2² - 2 9.8 3.98 103) = √ (1310-78008)

              Vy = 276.9 m / s

We have both components.

              V² = Vx² + Vy²

              V = √ (135.2² + 276.9²)

              V = 308.1 m / s

              tan θ = Vy / Vx

              tan θ = -276.9 / 135.2 = 2,048

              θ = -64º

The negative sign means that it is measured from the x-axis clockwise

c and d)   We repeat the same calculation for tank B, the only difference is the angle T = -15º

              Vox = 140 cos (-15)

              Voy = 140 sin (-15)

              Vox = 135.2 m / s

              Voy = 140 sin (-15)

              Voy = -36.2 m / s

We calculate the vertical speed

             Vy² = Voy² - 2 g Y

             Vy = √ ((-36.2)² - 2 9.8 3980)

             Vy = 276.9 m / s

             V = √(135.3²2 + 276.9²)

             V = 308.1 m/s

     

             tan θ = -276.9 / 135.2

             θ = -64

You can see that the speeds and angles are the same in both cases, the difference between these two situations is in the horizontal distance that runs each story

A cosmic ray electron moves at 7.45 â 106 m/s perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field at an altitude where field strength is
kupik [55]
The magnetic force on the electron is:
F=qvB \sin \theta
where q is the electron charge, v the electron speed, B the magnetic field intensity and \theta is the angle between v and B. Since the electron is traveling perpendicular to the magnetic field, \sin \theta = \sin 90^{\circ}=1, so we can write 
F=qvB

This force acts as centripetal force of the motion, F_c = m \frac{v^2}{r}, where m is the electron mass and r the radius of the circular orbit. So we can write:
qvB=m \frac{v^2}{r}
and by re-arranging this equation, we find the radius of the circular orbit, r:
r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)(7.45 \cdot 10^6 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(1.10 \cdot 10^{-5}T)}=  3.85 m

The person has an upward acceleration of 0.70 m/s^2 and is lifted from rest through a distance of 13 m. A rescue helicopter lift
Alex

Answer:

a)

840 N

b)

10920 J

c)

- 10192 J

d)

4.3 m/s

Explanation:

a)

T = tension force in the cable in upward direction = ?

a = acceleration of the person in upward direction = 0.70 m/s²

m = mass of the person being lifted = 80 kg

Force equation for the motion of person in upward direction is given as

T - mg = ma

T = m (g + a)

T = (80) (9.8 + 0.70)

T = 840 N

b)

d = distance traveled in upward direction = 13 m

W_{t} = Work done by tension force

Work done by tension force is given as

W_{t} = T d

W_{t} = (840) (13)

W_{t} = 10920 J

c)

d = distance traveled in upward direction = 13 m

W_{g} = Work done by person's weight

Work done by person's weight is given as

W_{g} = - mg d

W_{g} = - (80 x 9.8) (13)

W_{g} = - 10192 J

d)

F_{net} = Net force on the person = ma = 80 x 0.70 = 56 N

v₀ = initial speed of the person = 0 m/s

v = final speed

Using work-energy theorem

F_{net} d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

(56) (13) = (0.5) (80) (v² - 0²)

v = 4.3 m/s

An astronaut is in equilibrium when he is positioned 140 km from the center of asteroid C and 581 km from the center of asteroid
serg [7]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

Distance of astronaut From asteroid x is r_x=140 km

Distance of astronaut From asteroid Y is r_y=581 km

Suppose M,M_x,M_y be the masses of Astronaut , asteroid X and Y

If the astronaut is in equilibrium then net gravitational force on it is zero

F_x=F_y

\frac{GMM_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{GMM_y}{r_y^2}

cancel out the common terms we get

\frac{M_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{M_y}{r_y^2}

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{r_x}{r_y})^2

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{140}{581})^2

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=0.05806\approx 0.0581

A car accelerates at a rate of 6m/s^2 for 4 seconds until it has traveled a total of 40m what was the initial velocity of the ca
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Using the 2nd equation of motion;

= s = ut + ½at²

= 40 = u×2 + ½ × 6 × 2²

= 40 = 2u + 3 × 4

= 40 - 12 = 2u

= 28/2 = u

= 14 m/s = u

And its done! Simple isn't? :P
