An airplane flies with a velocity of 55.0 m/s [35o N of W] with respect to the air (this is known as air speed). If the velocity

of the airplane according to an observer on the ground is 40.0 m/s [53o N of W], what was the wind velocity?

V - the wind velocity;
53° - 35° = 18°
v² = 55² + 40² - 2 · 55 · 40 · cos 18°
v² = 3025 + 1600 - 2 · 55 · 40 · 0.951
v² = 440.6
v = √440.6
v = 20.99 ≈ 21 m/s
Answer: The wind velocity is 21 m/s.

A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallel-plate capacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the neg

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

$=2,012,319.36 \ m/s$

Explanation:

-The only relevant force is the electrostatic force

-The formula for the electrostatic force is:

$F = Eq$

E is the electric field and q is the magnitude of the charge.

#Since the electric field is the same in both cases, and the charge of the protons and electrons have the same magnitude, you can state that the magnitude of the electric forces acting in both proton and electron are the same.

$F_e = F_p\\\\F_e= Force \ on \ electron\\F_p = Force \ on \ proton$

-Applying Newton's 2nd Law:

$F=ma$

$F_e=M_ea_e$

$F_p=M_pa_p$

#equate the two forces:

$F_e = F_p\\\\M_ea_e=M_pa_p\\\\a_e=\frac{M_pa_p}{M_e}$

#The equations for velocity in uniform acceleration:

$V_f^2=V_o^2+2ad\\\\V_o^2=0\\\\\therefore V_f^2=2ad$

#For the proton:

$V_f^2=2a_pd\\\\a_p=\frac{V_f^2}{2d}\\\\a_p=\frac{47000m/s)^2}{2d}$

#For the electron:

$V_f^2=2{a_e}^2\times 2d\\\\A_e=M_p\times A_p/M_e\\\\V_f^2=M_p\times (47000m/s)^2/2d\times2d/M_e\\\\V_f^2=M_p\times (47000m/s)^2/M_e\\\\V_f=47000m/s\times\sqrt{\frac{M_p}{M_e}}$

The mass values of the proton and electron are:

$M_p=1.67\times 10^{-27} kg\\\\M_e=9.11\times10^{-31}kg$

The speed of the ion is therefore calculated as:

$V_f=47000m/s\times\sqrt{\frac{M_p}{M_e}}\\\\=47000m/s\times\sqrt{\frac{1.67\times10^{-27}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}\\\\=2,012,319.36 \ m/s$

Hence, the ion's speed at the negative plate is $=2,012,319.36 \ m/s$

A nonuniform beam 4.50 m long and weighing 1.40 kN makes an angle of 25.0° below the horizontal. It is held in position by a fri

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$T = 7.64 kN$

$F_y = 0.52 kN$ (Downwards)

$F_x = 3.23 kN$ (Towards Left)

Explanation:

As we know that beam is in equilibrium

So here we can use torque balance as well as force balance for the beam

Now by torque balance equation at the pivot we can say

$F(4.50 cos\theta) + mg(2cos\theta) = T \times 3$

As we know that

mg = 1.40 kN

F = 5 kN

so we will have

$5 kN(4.50 cos25) + 1.40 kN(2 cos25) = 3 T$

$T = 7.64 kN$

Now force balance in vertical direction

$F + mg = Tsin65 + F_y$

$5 + 1.40 = 7.64 sin65 + F_y$

$F_y = 0.52 kN$ (Downwards)

Force balance in horizontal direction

$F_x = T cos65$

$F_x = 7.64 cos65$

$F_x = 3.23 kN$ (Towards Left)

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that $F \propto v^2$ , provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, $F_1$ , is

$F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F$

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.
