Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.
Answer: East of North
Explanation:
We have the following data:
Speed of the wind from East to West:
Speed of the bee relative to the air:
If we graph these speeds (which in fact are velocities because are vectors) in a vector diagram, we will have a right triangle in which the airspeed of the bee (its speed relative to te air) is the hypotense and the two sides of the triangle will be the <u>Speed of the wind from East to West</u> (in the horintal part) and the <u>speed due North relative to the ground</u> (in the vertical part).
Now, we need to find the direction the bee should fly directly to the flower (due North):
Clearing :
Answer:
The plane would need to travel at least (
.)
The runway should be sufficient.
Explanation:
Convert unit of the the take-off velocity of this plane to :
.
Initial velocity of the plane: .
Take-off velocity of the plane .
Let denote the distance that the plane travelled along the runway. Since acceleration is constant but unknown, make use of the SUVAT equation
.
Notice that this equation does not require the value of acceleration. Rather, this equation make use of the fact that the distance travelled (under constant acceleration) is equal to duration times average velocity
.
The distance that the plane need to cover would be:
.
