If it is a headwind it means it's travelling against the motion of the plane. This means it's velocity is simply v=720-16=704 km/h due east.

Answer:

The resultant velocity and direction of the plane with respect to the ground is 704 km/h due east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Air velocity v₁= 720 km/h

Headwind v₂ = 16 km/h

The air velocity due to east is greater then the head wind.

So, the direction of the velocity respect to the ground will be due to east.

The velocity of plane respect to ground

The resultant velocity will be

$v= v_{1}-v_{2}$

$v = 720-16$

$v = 704\ km/h$

Hence, The resultant velocity and direction of the plane with respect to the ground is 704 km/h due east.

12. A flat circular coil of wire having 200 turns and diameter 6.0 cm carries a current of 7.0 A. It is placed in a magnetic fie

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic torque on the coil is 1.98 A.m²

Explanation:

Magnitude of magnetic torque in a flat circular coil is given as;

τ = NIASinθ

where;

N is the number of turns of the coil

I is the current in the coil

A is the area of the coil

θ is the angle of inclination of the coil and magnetic field

Given'

Number of turns, N = 200

Current, I = 7.0 A

Angle of inclination, θ = 30°

Diameter, d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

A = πd²/4 = π(0.06)²/4 = 0.002828 m²

τ = NIASinθ

τ = 200 x 7 x 0.002828 x Sin30

τ = 1.98 A.m²

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic torque on the coil is 1.98 A.m²

You are an engineer helping to design a roller coaster that carries passengers down a steep track and around a vertical loop. Th

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

h >5/2r

Explanation:

This problem involves the application of the concepts of force and the work-energy theorem.

The roller coaster undergoes circular motion when going round the loop. For the rider to stay in contact with the cart at all times, the roller coaster must be moving with a minimum velocity v such that at the top the rider is in a uniform circular motion and does not fall out of the cart. The rider moves around the circle with an acceleration a = v²/r. Where r = radius of the circle.

Vertically two forces are acting on the rider, the weight and normal force of the cart on the rider. The normal force and weight are acting downwards at the top. For the rider not to fall out of the cart at the top, the normal force on the rider must be zero. This brings in a design requirement for the roller coaster to move at a minimum speed such that the cart exerts no force on the rider. This speed occurs when the normal force acting on the rider is zero (only the weight of the rider is acting on the rider)

So from newton's second law of motion,

W – N = mv²/r

N = normal force = 0

W = mg

mg = ma = mv²/r

mg = mv²/r

v²= rg

v = √(rg)

The roller coaster starts from height h. Its potential energy changes as it travels on its course. The potential energy decreases from a value mgh at the height h to mg×2r at the top of the loop. No other force is acting on the roller coaster except the force of gravity which is a conservative force so, energy is conserved. Because energy is conserved the total change in the potential energy of the rider must be at least equal to or greater than the kinetic energy of the rider at the top of the loop

So

ΔPE = ΔKE = 1/2mv²

The height at the roller coaster starts is usually higher than the top of the loop by design. So

ΔPE =mgh - mg×2r = mg(h – 2r)

2r is the vertical distance from the base of the loop to the top of the loop, basically the diameter of the loop.

In order for the roller coaster to move smoothly and not come to a halt at the top of the loop, the ΔPE must be greater than the ΔKE at the top.

So ΔPE > ΔKE at the top. The extra energy moves the rider the loop from the top.

ΔPE > ΔKE

mg(h–2r) > 1/2mv²

g(h–2r) > 1/2(√(rg))²

g(h–2r) > 1/2×rg

h–2r > 1/2×r

h > 2r + 1/2r

h > 5/2r

A 2.7-kg block is released from rest and allowed to slide down a frictionless surface and into a spring. The far end of the spri

exis [7]

a) The speed of the block at a height of 0.25 m is 2.38 m/s

b) The compression of the spring is 0.25 m

c) The final height of the block is 0.54 m

Explanation:

a)

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic+gravitational potential energy) must be conserved in absence of friction. So we can write:

$U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f$

where

$U_i$ is the initial potential energy, at the top

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

$U_f$ is the final potential energy, at halfway

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy, at halfway

The equation can be rewritten as

$mgh_i + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where:

m = 2.7 kg is the mass of the block

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$h_i = 0.54$ is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial speed

$h_f = 0.25 m$ is the final height of the block

v is the final speed when the block is at a height of 0.25 m

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2g(h_i-h_f)}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(0.54-0.25)}=2.38 m/s$

b)

The total mechanical energy of the block can be calculated from the initial conditions, and it is

$E=K_i + U_i = 0 + mgh_i = (2.7)(9.8)(0.54)=14.3 J$

At the bottom of the ramp, the gravitational potential energy has become zero (because the final heigth is zero), and all the energy has been converted into kinetic energy. However, then the block compresses the spring, and the maximum compression of the spring occurs when the block stops: at that moment, all the energy of the block has been converted into elastic potential energy of the spring. So we can write

$E=E_e = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k = 453 N/m is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

And solving for x, we find

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(14.3)}{453}}=0.25 m$

c)

If there is no friction acting on the block, we can apply again the law of conservation of energy. This time, the initial energy is the elastic potential energy stored in the spring:

$E=E_e = 14.3 J$

while the final energy is the energy at the point of maximum height, where all the energy has been converted into gravitational potetial energy:

$E=U_f = mg h_f$

where $h_f$ is the maximum height reached. Solving for this quantity, we find

$h_f = \frac{E}{mg}=\frac{14.3}{(2.7)(9.8)}=0.54 m$

which is the initial height: this is correct, because the total mechanical energy is conserved, so the block must return to its initial position.
