You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land.

Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen, out over the ocean surface. The first is at altitude 800 m above the surface, horizontal distance 18.0 km, and 25.0° south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1,100 m, horizontal distance 20.0 km, and 20.0° south of west.
1. Your supervisor is concerned that the two aircraft are too close together and asks for a separation distance (in km) for the two airplanes. (Place the x-axis west, the y-axis south, and the z-axis vertical.)

Answer:

d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

This distance problem can be solved using vector analysis; it's best to find each plane's position components before applying the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the separation between them.

For Airplane 1:

Height   y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

           cos 25 = x / r

           sin 25 = z / r

           x₁ = r cos 20

           z₁ = r sin 25

          x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

          z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m = 7607 m

For Plane 2:

Height   y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

          x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

          z₂ = 20 103 sin 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

To determine the distance between the planes using the Pythagorean theorem:

         d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Now, we perform the calculations:

        d² = (18126-16314)²  + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

        d² = 3,283 106 + 9 104 + 7,140 105

        d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

        d = √(408.7 10⁴)

        d = 20,216 10² m

        d = 2021.6 km

The iron ball shown is being swung in a vertical circle at the end of a 0.7-m string. how slowly can the ball go through its top
Keith_Richards [3271]
<span>A centripetal force maintains an object's circular motion. When the ball is at the highest point, we can assume that the ball's speed v is such that the weight of the ball matches the required centripetal force to keep it moving in a circle. Hence, the string will not become slack. centripetal force = weight of the ball m v^2 / r = m g v^2 / r = g v^2 = g r v = sqrt { g r } v = sqrt { (9.80~m/s^2) (0.7 m) } v = 2.62 m/s Thus, the minimum speed for the ball at the top position is 2.62 m/s.</span>

The amount of electric energy consumed by a 60.0-watt lightbulb for 1.00 minute could lift a
Sav [3153]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a 60W light bulb used for 1 minute:

P = 60 W

t = 1 minute = 60 seconds

This energy is capable of lifting an object weighing 10N.

W = 10N

This indicates conversion of electrical energy into potential energy.

Let's calculate the electrical energy:

Power describes the rate of work done.

Power = Work / time

Thus, work = power × time

Work = 60 × 60

Work = 3600 J

Potential energy calculation:

P.E = mgh

Where the weight is given by:

W = mg

Therefore, P.E = W·h

P.E = 10·h

Thus, we equate:

Potential energy = Electrical energy

P.E = Work

10·h = 3600

Dividing both sides by 10 gives:

h = 3600 / 10

h = 360m

The object can be lifted to a height of 360m.

A team of engineering students is testing their newly designed 200 kg raft in the pool where the diving team practices. The raft
Sav [3153]

Answer:

The water level increases more when the cube is above the raft before it sinks.

Explanation:

The principle involved is based on Archimedes' theory, which states that immersing an object in water will raise the initial water level. This means that the height of the water in the container increases. The increase in water volume corresponds to the volume of the submerged object.

We can consider two scenarios: when the steel cube rests on the raft and when it settles at the pool's bottom.

When the cube rests at the pool’s bottom, the volume will indeed rise, and we can ascertain this using the cube's volume.

Vc = 0.45*0.45*0.45 = 0.0911 [m^3]

When an object floats, it's because the densities of the object and water are in equilibrium.

Ro_{H2O}=R_{c+r}\\where:\\Ro_{H2O}= water density = 1000 [kg/m^3]\\Ro_{c+r}= combined density cube + raft [kg/m^3]

The formula for density is:

Ro = m/V

where:

m= mass [kg]

V = volume [m^3]

The buoyant force can be calculated with this equation:

F_{B}=W=Ro_{H20}*g*Vs\\W = (200+730)*9.81\\W=9123.3[N]\\\\9123=1000*9.81*Vs\\Vs = 0.93 [m^3]

Vs > Vc indicates that the combined volume of the raft and the cube exceeds that of the cube alone resting at the bottom of the pool. Hence, when the cube is positioned above the raft, the water level rises more before it becomes submerged.

A rocket in deep space has an exhaust-gas speed of 2000 m/s. When the rocket is fully loaded, the mass of the fuel is five times
Sav [3153]

Answer:

 v_{f} = 1,386 m / s

Explanation:

The mechanism behind rocket propulsion is defined by the formula

       v_{f} - v₀ =  v_{r} ln (M₀ / Mf)

Here, v refers to the initial, final, and relative velocities, while M indicates the masses

The provided values include the relative velocity (see = 2000 m / s) and the initial mass, where the mass of the rocket when loaded is represented as (M₀ = 5Mf)

For our analysis, we assume the rocket begins at rest (v₀ = 0)

Once half of the fuel has burnt, the mass ratio indicates that the current mass is    

       M = 2.5 Mf

       v_{f} - 0 = 2000 ln (5Mf / 2.5 Mf) = 2000 ln 2

       v_{f} = 1,386 m / s

Situation 6.1 A 13.5-kg box slides over a rough patch 1.75 m long on a horizontal floor. Just before entering the rough patch, t
Softa [3030]
B) 14.0 N

To address this inquiry, we need to evaluate the kinetic energy of the box before and after crossing the rough section. The kinetic energy is given by the formula:

E = 0.5 M V^2

where

E = Energy

M = Mass

V = velocity

Now, utilizing the known data, we compute the energy prior and post.

Before:

E = 0.5 M V^2

E = 0.5 * 13.5kg * (2.25 m/s)^2

E = 6.75 kg * 5.0625 m^2/s^2

E = 34.17188 kg*m^2/s^2 = 34.17188 joules

After:

E = 0.5 M V^2

E = 0.5 * 13.5kg * (1.2 m/s)^2

E = 6.75 kg * 1.44 m^2/s^2

E = 9.72 kg*m^2/s^2 = 9.72 Joules

Hence, the box consumed energy equal to 34.17188 J - 9.72 J = 24.451875 J over a length of 1.75 meters. Next, we will calculate the loss per meter by dividing the energy loss by the distance traversed.
24.451875 J / 1.75 m = 13.9725 J/m = 13.9725 N

When we round to one decimal point, we arrive at 14.0 N, which corresponds with option “B.”
