An airplane undergoes the following displacements: First, it flies 40 km in a direction 30° east of north. Next, it flies 56 km

due south. Finally, it flies 100 km 30° north of west. Using analytical methods, determine how far the airplane ends up from its starting point.

Answer:

Distance from start point is 72.5km

Explanation:

The attached Figure shows the plane trajectories from start point (0,0) to (x1,y1) (d1=40km), then going from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) (d2=56km), then from (x2,y2) to (x3,y3) (d3=100). Taking into account the angles and triangles formed (shown in the Figure), it can be said:

x1=d1*cos(60), y1=d1*sin(60)\\\\ x2=x1 , y2=y1-d2\\\\ x3=x2-d3*cos(30) , y3=y2+d3*sin(30)

Using the Pitagoras theorem, the distance from (x3,y3) to the start point can be calculated as:

d=\sqrt{x3^{2} +y3^{2} }

Replacing the given values in the equations, the distance is calculated.

Use the energy equation from this week’s notes, your answer from
slamgirl [31]

An energy equation is a chemical equation which involves the energy that is evolved or absorbed in the reaction.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

The term energy refers to the ability to do work. An energy equation is a chemical equation which involves the energy that is evolved or absorbed in the reaction.

This question is incomplete as the former energy equation is not shown. However, such equations can be used to know an endothermic or exothermic reaction.

A light platform is suspended from the ceiling by a spring. A student with a mass of 90 kg climbs onto the platform. When it sto
Ilya [14]
Refer to the diagram shown.

When the student climbs onto the platform, the spring stretches by 0.82 m to reach the equilibrium position.
The mass of the student is m = 90 kg, so his weight is
mg = (90 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 882 N

By definition, the spring constant is
k = (882 N)/(0.82 m) = 1075.6 N/m

When the spring is stretched by x from the equilibrium position, the restoring force is
F = - k*x.

If damping is ignored, the equation of motion is
F = m * acceleration
or
m \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} = -kx \\ \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} + \frac{k}{m} x = 0

Define ω² = k/m = 11.751 => ω = 3.457.
Then the solution of the ODE is
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt) + c₂ sin(ωt)

x'(t) = -c₁ω sin(ωwt) + c₂ω cos(ωt)
When t=0, x' =0, therefore c₂ = 0

The solution is of the form
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt)
When t = 0, x = 0.32 m. Therefore c₁ = 0.32

The motion is
x(t) = 0.32 cos(3.457t)
The single amplitude is 0.32 m, and the double amplitude is 0.64 m.

Answer: 
0.32 m (single amplitude), or
0.64 m (double amplitude)

f the magnitude of the acceleration of a propeller blade's tip exceeds a certain value amaxamax, the blade tip will fracture. If
Luden [163]

Answer:

The angular velocity is   w= \sqrt[4]{\frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2}  - \alpha ^2}      

Explanation:

Generally the acceleration experienced by the propeller blade's is broken down into

          The Radial acceleration which is mathematically represented as

                              a_r = \frac{v^2}{r}  = w^2r

And the Tangential  acceleration which is mathematically represented as

                                a_r = \alpha r

  The net acceleration is evaluated as

                      a = \sqrt{a_r^2 + a_t^2}

       

Now since angular speed varies directly with angular acceleration so when acceleration is maximum the angular velocity is maximum also and this point if the propeller blade's tip exceeds it the blade would fracture

                 

So at maximum angular acceleration we a have

             a_{max} = \sqrt{a_r^2 + a_t^2}

                     a_{max}^2 = a_r^2 + a_t^2

                    a_{max}^2 = (w^2r)^2 + (\alpha r)^2

                 a_{max}^2 =  r^2 w^4 + r^2 \alpha ^2

                  a_{max}^2 = r^2 (w^4 + \alpha^2 )

                w^4 +\alpha ^2 = \frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2}

                         w^4 = \frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2}  - \alpha ^2

                         w= \sqrt[4]{\frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2}  - \alpha ^2}

Vector of magnitude 15 is added to a vector of magnitude 25. The magnitude of this sum
loris [4]

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnitude of vector A, |A| = 15

Magnitude of vector B, |B| = 25

We need to find the magnitude of this sum.

The maximum sum of the resultant vector,

R_{max}=|A_1|+|A_2|\\\\=15+25\\\\=45

The minimum sum of the resultant vector,

R_{min}=|A_1|-|A_2|\\\\=15-25\\\\=-10

So, the magnitude of this sum either 45 or -10.
