During a hurricane in 2008, the Westin Hotel in downtownNew Orleans suffered damage. Suppose a piece of glass dropped near the t

op of the hotel falling from the 300 meter building takes 6.62 s. Ignoring air resistance, what will the velocity of the piece of glass be when it strikes the ground?

Answer:

  • <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

  • Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

  • Average speed = distance / time

Then:

  • (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

  • Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

  • Vf + Vi = 90.634      equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

  • Vf - Vi = 64.876     equation 2

Adding the two equations:

  • 2Vf = 155.510

  • Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)

The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 33.9 km/h wind blowing toward the south. The speed of the aircraft in the a
diamong [38]

Answer:\theta =9.96^{\circ} North of west

Explanation:

Given

Plane wishes to fly in west

but wind with speed 33.9 km/h towards south obstructing its path

so plane must fly at an angle of \theta w.r.t west such that it final velocity is towards west

Plane absolute speed=195 km/h

To fly towards west velocity in Y direction should be zero

thus 195sin\theta =33.9

\theta =9.96^{\circ}

so Plane should head towards 9.96^{\circ} North of west in order to fly in west.

So plane

actual velocity is

v=-195cos9.96\hat{i}+195sin9.96\hat{j}
