Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de

tects that the distance s(t) between the plane and airport is changing at the rate of s(t) = −240 mph. If the plane flies toward the airport at the constant altitude h = 4, what is the speed |x(t)| of the airplane?

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

$s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}$ ...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

$2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}$

When x = 40, $s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}$

$x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s$

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing part

answer : short period oscillations frequency = 0.063 rad / sec

phugoid oscillations natural frequency ( $w_{np}$ ) = 4.27 rad/sec

Explanation:

first we have to state the general form of the equation

= $( S^2 + 2\alpha _{p} w_{np} S + w^{2} _{np} ) (S^{2} + 2\alpha _{s} w_{ns}S + w^{2} _{ns} ) = 0$

where :

$w_{np} = Natural frequency of plugiod oscillation$

$\alpha _{p} = damping ratio of plugiod oscilations$

comparing the general form with the given equation

$w^{2} _{np}$ = 18.2329

$w^{2} _{ns} = 0.003969$

hence the short period oscillation frequency ( $w_{ns}$ ) = 0.063 rad/sec

phugoid oscillations natural frequency ( $w_{np}$ ) = 4.27 rad/sec

A plane has an airspeed of 142 m/s. A 30.0 m/s wind is blowing southward at the same time as the plane is flying. What must be t

const2013 [10]

Answer:

$\theta=12.19^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Given that

The speed of the airplane ,v= 142 m/s

The speed of the air ,u = 30 m/s

Lets take angle make by airplane from east direction towards north direction is θ .

Now by using diagram ,we can say that

$sin\theta =\dfrac{u}{v}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$sin\theta =\dfrac{30}{142}$

$sin\theta=0.21$

$\theta=12.19^{\circ}$

Therefore the angle will be 12.19° .

Two identical bowling balls are rolling on a horizontal floor without slipping. The initial speed of both balls is v = 10 m/s. B

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The difference between frictionless ramp and a regular ramp is that on a frictionless ramp the ball cannot roll it can only slide, but on a regular ramp the ball can roll without slipping.

We will use conversation of energy.

$K_A_1 + U_A_1 = K_A_2 + U_A_2\\\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mgH_A$

Note that initial potential energy is zero because the ball is on the bottom, and the final kinetic energy is zero because the ball reaches its maximum vertical distance and stops.

For the ball B;

$K_B_1 + U_B_1 = K_B_2 + U_B_2$

$\frac{1}{2}I_B\omega^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mgH_B$

The initial velocities of the balls are equal. Their maximum climbing point will be proportional to their final potential energy. Since their initial kinetic energies are equal, their final potential energies must be equal as well.

Hence, both balls climb the same point.

How are the energy conversions of machines similar to the energy conversions in your body

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:

-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles

- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.

- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.

Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.
