Answer:

 θ = 41.80°

Explanation:

Given that

Mach number M= 1.5

We know that

M = u/c

Where c is the velocity of sound and u is the speed of plane

c= 340 m/s

So

u = 1.5 x 340 m/s

u = 510 m/s

We know that

sin\theta =\dfrac{c}{u}

Now by putting the values

sin\theta =\dfrac{c}{u}

sin\theta =\dfrac{340}{510}

 θ = 41.80°

So the angle will be 41.80°.

A student discovers that sound waves travel 1,687.5 meters in 5 seconds through air at a temperature of 10°C. Based on this info
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

distance traveled by sound, d = 1,687.5 meters

time taken for the sound to travel, t = 5 seconds

air temperature, θ = 10°C

Speed of sound = distance traveled by sound / time taken for the sound to travel

Speed of sound = d / t

                           = 1687.5 m / 5 s

                           = 337.5 m/s

Speed of sound at the given temperature is calculated as;

c = 337.5 + 0.6θ

c = 337.5 + 0.6 x 10

c = 337.5 + 6

c = 343.5 m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s

After a model rocket reached its maximum height, it then took 5.0 seconds to return to the launch site. what is the approximate
kifflom [539]
Air resistance is ignored.
g = 9.8 m/s².
At maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero.

Let h =  the maximum height reached.
Let u =  the vertical launch velocity.

Because ot takes 5.0 seconds to reach maximum height, therefore
(u m/s) - (9.8 m/s²)*(5 s) = 0 
u = 49 m/s

The maximum height reached is
h = (49 m/s)*(5 s) - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(5 s)²
   = 122.5 m

Answer: 122.5 m

A ceiling fan with 90-cm-diameter blades is turning at 64 rpm . Suppose the fan coasts to a stop 28 s after being turned off. Wh
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the ceiling fan, d = 90 cm = 0.9 m

angular speed of the fan, ω = 64 rpm

time taken for the fan to stop, t = 28 s

The distance traveled by the ceiling fan when it comes to a stop is calculated as;

d = vt = \omega r\times  t= ( \frac{64 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s} \times 0.9 \ m) \times 28 \ s\\\\d = 168.89 \ m

The speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is calculated as;

v = \frac{d}{t} \\\\v = \frac{168.89}{10} \\\\v = 16.889 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.
