Ashley is flying a plane that has to reach a gradient of 360m/km in order to take off and not crash. Her goal is to travel from

sea level to an elevation of 1000m at a distance of 2.8km. Calculate the gradient of Ashley’s flight and determine if she will crash!

Answer:

She is likely to crash because her flight gradient is lesser than the flight gradient required gradient to avoid crashing

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The required gradient of the plane Ashley is flying needs to reach in order to take off and not crash = 360 m/km

The initial elevation of the plane Ashley is flying = Sea level = 0 m

The goal Ashley intends to make = Elevation of 1000 m at 2.8 km. distance

∴ Ashley's goal = Traveling from sea level to 1000 m at 2.8 km horizontal distance

We have;

The gradient  = Rate of change of elevation/(Horizontal distance)

Therefore;

The gradient of Ashley's flight = (1000 - 0)/(2.8 - 0) = 357.143 m/km

The gradient of Ashley's flight ≈ 357.143 m/km which is lesser than the required 360 m/km in order to take off and not crash, therefore, she will crash.

Let’s say I am in a bumper car and have a velocity of 14 m/s, driving in the positive x-direction. I and my bumped car have a ma
AlekseyPX

Answer:

160 kg

12 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of first car = 120 kg

m_2 = Mass of second car

u_1 = Initial Velocity of first car = 14 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of second car = 0 m/s

v_1 = Final Velocity of first car = -2 m/s

v_2 = Final Velocity of second car

For perfectly elastic collision

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_{1}v_{1}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=120\times 14+m_2\times 0-(120\times -2)\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=1920\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}

Applying in the next equation

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 120}{120+\frac{1920}{v_2}}\times 14+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\times 0\\\Rightarrow \left(120+\frac{1920}{v_2}\right)v_2=3360\\\Rightarrow 120v_2+1920=3360\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{3360-1920}{120}\\\Rightarrow v_2=12\ m/s

m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{12}\\\Rightarrow m_2=160\ kg

Mass of second car = 160 kg

Velocity of second car = 12 m/s
