Question 19 of 20

you are piloting a small plane and you want to reach an airport 450 km due south in 3.0 h a wind is blowing from the west 50.0 k

alex41 [277]

Answer:

You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south

Explanation:

The distance to the air port is 450 km due to south

You should to reach the airport in 3 hours

→ Velocity = distance ÷ time

→ Distance = 450 km , time = 3 hours

→ The velocity of your plane = 450 ÷ 3 = 150 km/h due to south

A wind is blowing from west 50 km/h

We need to know what heading and airspeed you should choose to

reach your destination

At first we must find the resultant velocity of your plane and the wind

The south and west are perpendicular, then the resultant velocity is

→ $v_{R}=\sqrt{(v_{p})^{2}+(v_{w})^{2}}$

→ $v_{p}=150$ km/h , $v_{w}=50$ km/h

→ $v_{R}=\sqrt{(150)^{2}+(50)^{2}}=158.11$ km/h

To cancel the velocity of the wind, the pilot should maintain the velocity

of the plane at 158.11 km/h

The direction of the velocity is the angle between the resultant velocity

and the vertical (south)

→ The direction of the velocity is $tan^{-1}\frac{50}{150}=18.4$ °

The direction of the velocity is 18.4° west of south

You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south

An object that weighs 2.450 N is attached to an ideal massless spring and undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period o

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 24.1 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the object, W = 2.45 N

Time period of oscillation of simple harmonic motion, T = 0.64 s

To find,

Spring constant of the spring.

Solution,

In case of simple harmonic motion, the time period of oscillation is given by :

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

m is the mass of object

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{2.45}{9.8}$

m = 0.25 kg

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2m}{T^2}$

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 0.25}{(0.64)^2}$

k = 24.09 N/m

or

k = 24.11 N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 24.1 N/m.

An object is dropped from rest from a 70.6 m tower. Air resistance is negligible. After 0.32 seconds, what is magnitude and dire

dem82 [27]

Answer:

1,378.9ms²

Explanation:

Given the following

Distance S = 70.6m

Time t = 0.32secs

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Required

Acceleration

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2at²

Substitute

70.6 = 0+1/2a(0.32)²

70.6 = 0.0512a

a = 70.6/0.0512

a = 1,378.9

Hence the acceleration is 1,378.9ms²

A bowling ball moving with a velocity of 5V to the right collides elastically with a beach ball moving at a velocity 2V to the l

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$v'_2=3V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Bowling ball Speed $v_1=5 m/s$

Beach ball Speed $v_2=2 m/s$

Let The Mass be equal i.e

$M_1=M_2$

Therefore

Generally the equation for Velocity of beach ball after collision $v'_2$ is mathematically given by

Since Velocity is Vector Quantity

Therefore

$v'_2=v_1-v_2$

$v'_2=5-2$

$v'_2=3V$

An air hockey game has a puck of mass 30 grams and a diameter of 100 mm. The air film under the puck is 0.1 mm thick. Calculate

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds

Explanation:

given data

mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

diameter = 100 mm = 0.1 m

thick = 0.1 mm = 1 × $10^{-4}$ m

dynamic viscosity = 1.75 × $10^{-5}$ Ns/m²

air temperature = 15°C

to find out

time required after impact for a puck to lose 10%

solution

we know velocity varies here 0 to v

we consider here initial velocity = v

so final velocity = 0.9v

so change in velocity is du = v

and clearance dy = h

and shear stress acting on surface is here express as

= µ $\frac{du}{dy}$

so

= µ $\frac{v}{h}$ ............1

put here value

= 1.75× $10^{-5}$ × $\frac{v}{10^{-4}}$

= 0.175 v

and

area between air and puck is given by

Area = $\frac{\pi }{4} d^{2}$

area = $\frac{\pi }{4} 0.1^{2}$

area = 7.85 × $\frac{v}{10^{-3}}$ m²

so

force on puck is express as

Force = × area

force = 0.175 v × 7.85 × $10^{-3}$

force = 1.374 × $10^{-3}$ v

and now apply newton second law

force = mass × acceleration

- force = $mass \frac{dv}{dt}$

- 1.374 × $10^{-3}$ v = $0.03 \frac{0.9v - v }{t}$

t = $\frac{0.1 v * 0.03}{1.37*10^{-3} v}$

time = 2.18

so time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds
