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

A 0.2-kg steel ball is dropped straight down onto a hard, horizontal floor and bounces straight up. The ball's speed just before
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Answer:

Explanation:

Provided:

mass of the steel ball m=0.2\ kg

initial velocity of the ball u=10\ m/s

Final velocity of the ball v=-10\ m/s (moving upwards)

The impulse given is determined by the change in the momentum of the object.

<ptherefore the="" impulse="" j="" is="" defined="" by="">

J=\Delta P

\Delta P=m(v-u)

\Delta P=0.2(-10-10)

\Delta =-4\ N-s

Thus, the magnitude of the Impulse is 4 N-s.

A projectile is fired from ground level with a speed of 150 m/s at an angle 30.° above the horizontal on an airless planet where
Yuliya22 [2420]

Answer:

130 m/s (to two significant figures)

Explanation:

In projectile motion, the launching velocity and launch angle help to determine both the horizontal and vertical velocity components.

u represents the initial projectile velocity = 150 m/s

uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s

uᵧ = u sin θ = 150 sin 30° = 75.0 m/s

A projectile's motion can be viewed as made up of independent vertical and horizontal elements.

The vertical motion is affected by gravitational acceleration (which pulls down on the projectile), altering the vertical velocity component due to this acting force.

Conversely, there is no acting force in the horizontal direction, which means the horizontal component maintains a steady velocity throughout the projectile's flight.

Thus, at t = 4 s, the horizontal component of the projectile's speed remains equal to the initial horizontal velocity component.

At t = 4 s, the horizontal component of velocity is uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s ≈ 130 m/s

To study torque experimentally, you apply a force to a beam. One end of the beam is attached to a pivot that allows the beam to
kicyunya [2264]

Answer:

a)  τ = i ^ (y F_{z} - z F_{y}) + j ^ (z Fₓ - x F_{z}) + k ^ (x F_{y} - y Fₓ)

b) τ = (-0.189i ^ -5.6 j ^ + 33.978k ^) N m

c) α = (-7.8 10⁻⁴ i ^ - 2.3 10⁻² j ^ + 1.4 10⁻¹ k ^) rad / s²

Explanation:

a) The torque can be expressed as

        τ = r x F

To tackle this equation, using the determinant approach is the most straightforward method

        \tau =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&y&z\\F_{x}&F_{y} &F_{z}\end{array}\right]  

The resulting expression is

      τ = i ^ (y F_{z} - z F_{y}) + j ^ (z Fₓ - x F_{z}) + k ^ (x F_{y} - y Fₓ)

b) Now let's compute

     τ = i ^ (0.075 1.4 -0.035 8.4) + j ^ (0.035 2.8 - 4.07 1.4) + k ^ (4.07 8.4 - 0.075 2.8)

     τ = i ^ (- 0.189) + j ^ (-5.6) + k ^ (33,978)

     τ = (-0.189i ^ -5.6 j ^ + 33.978k ^) N m

c) To find angular acceleration, we use

       τ = I α

       α = τ / I

The moment of inertia being a scalar means that only the magnitude of each component changes, orientation remains constant.

           

     α = (-0.189i^  -5.6 j^  + 33.978k^) / 241

     α = (-7.8 10⁻⁴ i ^ - 2.3 10⁻² j ^ + 1.4 10⁻¹ k ^) rad / s²

The magnitude of the net force versus time graph has a rectangular shape. Often in physics geometric properties of graphs have p
Maru [2355]
True. Explanation: In this instance, the area of the graph represents the impulse. Impulse is defined as the change in an object's momentum. Moreover, it is also expressed as the product of the force acting on an object and the duration of the impact. When we graph the force against time, if the force remains constant, the resultant graph will take on a rectangular shape, and the area under that graph will equal the impulse's definition.

Two frictionless lab carts start from rest and are pushed along a level surface by a constant force. Students measure the magnit
Yuliya22 [2420]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is higher for the first cart.

Explanation:

For the second cart, its mass is 2kg and the momentum measured is 10kg m/s, which leads to

(2kg)v = 10kg\: m/s

resulting in

v = 5m/s.

Consequently, the kinetic energy for the 3kg cart ends up as

K.E.  = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

= \dfrac{1}{2}(2kg)(5m/s)^2 =  25J

\boxed{K.E = 25J}

indicating it is less than that of the 1kg cart so it follows that the first cart possesses greater kinetic energy.
