3. An airplane is heading north with an airspeed of 325 m/s with a wind from the east at 55.0 m/s. What is the airplane's veloci

Let <em>a</em> denote the airplane's velocity in the air, <em>g</em> its velocity on the ground, and <em>w</em> the velocity of the wind. (Note that these are vectors.) Then

<em>a</em> = <em>g</em> + <em>w</em>

and we're given

<em>a</em> = (325 m/s) <em>j</em>

<em>w</em> = (55.0 m/s) <em>i</em>

Then

<em>g</em> = - (55.0 m/s) <em>i</em> + (325 m/s) <em>j</em>

The ground speed is the magnitude of this vector:

||<em>g</em>|| = √[ (-55.0 m/s)² + (325 m/s)² ] ≈ 330. m/s

which is faster than the air speed, which is ||<em>a</em>|| = 325 m/s.

How does approaching a temperature of absolute zero affect kinetic energy.?
Alexus [3.1K]

First of all the kinetic energy is when the particles move in continuous random motion.

If the temperature is high the colliding particles will collide more. and if the temperature is low the colliding particles will collide less.

Low temperature result in low kinetic energy 
High temperature result in high kinetic energy

Absolute zero is the point where where all molecules have no kinetic energy. It is a theoretical value (it has never been reached).

The Kelvin temperature scale is based on absolute zero being the lowest possible temperature that could theoretically be reached. That is why there is no such thing as a negative Kelvin temperature value.

A shell is fired at an angle of 35° above the horizontal at a velocity of 40 m/s. (a) What is it's speed at the highest point of
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Part a)

v_f = v_x = 32.77 m/s

Part b)

T = 4.68 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Shell is fired at speed of 40 m/s at angle of 35 degree

so here we have

v_x = 40 cos35 = 32.77 m/s

v_y = 40 sin35 = 22.94 m/s

since gravity act opposite to vertical speed of the shell so at the highest point of its trajectory the vertical component of the speed will become zero

so at the highest point the speed is given

v_f = 32.77 m/s

Part b)

After completing the motion we know that the displacement of the object will be zero in Y direction

so we have

\Delta y = 0

0 = v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

T = \frac{2v_y}{g}

T = \frac{2(22.94)}{9.81} = 4.68 s

Interactive LearningWare 10.1 reviews the concepts involved in this problem. A spring stretches by 0.0161 m when a 3.74-kg objec
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

m = 3.91 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 3.74 kg

Stretching in the spring, x = 0.0161 m

The frequency of vibration, f = 3.84 Hz

When the object is suspended, the gravitational force is balanced by the spring force as :

mg=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

k=\dfrac{3.74\times 9.8}{0.0161}

k = 2276.52 N/m

The frequency of vibration is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}

m=\dfrac{2276.52}{4\pi^2\times (3.84)^2}

m = 3.91 kg

So, the mass of the object is 3.91 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

A stone that starts at rest free falls for 7.0 s. How far does the stone fall in this time?
vredina [299]

Gravitational acceleration is approx 9.8 m/s
Time is 7s

a=9.8 m/s
t=7s

a = d/t^2

therefore:

d = a * t^2

d = 9.8 * 7^2

d = 9.8 * 49

d = 480.2 [m]

Suppose you have a 75-watt light bulb that you leave turned on for two minutes. How much energy
victus00 [196]

Answer:

9000 J

Explanation:

Convert minutes to seconds.

2 min = 120 s

Power = energy / time

75 W = E / 120 s

E = 9000 J
