Answer: 2727m

Explanation:

1) Position of first airplane after 2.4 h

Constant velocity ⇒ V = d / t ⇒ d = Vt =

d = 750m/h × 2.4h = 1,800 m; 51.3°

2) Position of the second airplaine after 2.4 h

Constant velocity ⇒d = 620m/h × 2.4 h = 1,488 m; 163°

3) Angle between the airplains, α:

α = 163° - 51.3° = 111.7°

4) Cosine theorem

a² = b² + c² - 2bc cosine (α)

b = 1,800 m (calcualted in part 1)

c = 1,488m (calculated in part 2)

α = 111.7°

⇒ a² = (1,800m)² + (1,488m)² - 2(1,800m)(1,488m) cos(111.7°) = 7,434,803 m²

⇒ a = √(7,434,803 m²) = 2,726.7 m ≈ 2,727m

a is the distance that separate the two airplains after 2.4 h

Refer to the diagram shown below.

In 2.4 hours, the distance traveled by the first airplane heading a 51.3° at 750 mph is 
a = 750*2.4 = 1800 miles.

The second airplane travels
b = 620*2.4 = 1488 mile

The angle between the two airplanes is
163° - 51.3° = 111.7°

Let c =  the distance between the two airplanes after 2.4 hours.
From the Law of Cosines, obtain
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(111.7°)
    = 3.24 x 10⁶ + 2.2141 x 10⁶
c = 2335.41 miles

Answer: 2335.4 miles

A train at rest emits a sound at a frequency of 1057 Hz. An observer in a car travels away from the sound source at a speed of 2
il63 [147K]

Answer:

993.52 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of sound emitted by the stationery train is 1057 Hz.

The car travels away from the train at 20.6 m/s.

The frequency the observer hears is given by the formula:

f_o = \frac{v - v_o}{v}f

where v = velocity of sound = 343 m/s

vo = velocity of observer

f = frequency from source

This phenomenon is known as Doppler's effect.

Therefore:

f_o = \frac{343 - 20.6}{343} * 1057\\ \\f_o = 322.4 / 343 * 1057\\\\f_o = 993.52 Hz

The frequency heard by the observer is 993.52 Hz.

Suppose we want to calculate the moment of inertia of a 56.5 kg skater, relative to a vertical axis through their center of mass
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

a. 0.342 kg-m² b. 2.0728 kg-m²

Explanation:

a. Since the skater is assumed to be a cylinder, the moment of inertia of a cylinder is I = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder and r = radius of cylinder. Now, here, M = 56.5 kg and r = 0.11 m

I = 1/2MR²

= 1/2 × 56.5 kg × (0.11 m)²

= 0.342 kgm²

So the moment of inertia of the skater is

b. Let the moment of inertia of each arm be I'. So the moment of inertia of each arm relative to the axis through the center of mass is (since they are long rods)

I' = 1/12ml² + mh² where m = mass of arm = 0.05M, l = length of arm = 0.875 m and h = distance of center of mass of the arm from the center of mass of the cylindrical body = R/2 + l/2 = (R + l)/2 = (0.11 m + 0.875 m)/2 = 0.985 m/2 = 0.4925 m

I' = 1/12 × 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.875 m)² + 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.4925 m)²

= 0.1802 kg-m² + 0.6852 kg-m²

= 0.8654 kg-m²

The total moment of inertia from both arms is thus I'' = 2I' = 1.7308 kg-m².

So, the moment of inertia of the skater with the arms extended is thus I₀ = I + I'' = 0.342 kg-m² + 1.7308 kg-m² = 2.0728 kg-m²

A child throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.00
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 8 m/s

vertical height, h = 1 m

θ = 40°

Let the horizontal distance is d and the time taken is t.

Use second equation of motion in vertical direction

h = ut + 1/2 at²

1 = 8 Sin 40 x t + 0.5 x 9.8 t²

1 = 5.14 t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 5.14 t + 1 = 0

so, t = 0.26 s (smaller value)

So, the horizontal distance is

d = u cos 40 x t

d = 8 cos 40 x 0.26

d = 1.6 m

A rectangular painting measures 1.0 m tall along the y' axis and 3.0 m wide along the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a) 1 m tall, 3 m wide

b) 1 m tall, 1.31 m wide

Explanation:

According to the captain of the spaceship, the dimensions of the picture is the same i.e 1.0 m tall along the y' axis and 3.0 m wide along the x' axis.

b) The dimensions of the picture as seen by an observer on the Earth along the y axis will remain the same, 1.0 m tall, for the direction of the y axis is perpendicular to the spaceship movement.

The dimensions of the picture as seen by an observer on the Earth along the x axis will reduce if we are to go by the Lorentz contraction:

L(x) = L(x)' * √[1 - (v²/c²)]

where

L(x)' = the dimensions of the picture along the x axis on the spaceship,

v² = the speed of the spaceship and c² = the speed of light in the vacuum.

On substituting, we have

L(x) = 3 * √[1 - (0.81c²/c²)]

L(x) = 1.31 m
