The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed due south, and its airspeed indicator shows 35m/s. The plane is in a 10m/s wind blowing toward the southwest relative to the earth. (a) In a vector-addition diagram, show the relationship of v⇶ÄP/E(the velocity of the plane relative to the earth) to the two given vectors. (b) Let x be east and y be north, and find the components of v⇶ÄP/E. (c) Find the magnitude and direction of v⇶ÄP/E.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The relationship between vP/E and given vectors are as below.
  2. The components of vP/E are -7.07i^-42j^m/s.

  3. The magnitude and direction of velocity are 42.6m/s and 9.6o.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data:

The given data can be listed below.

  • The relative speed of plane is, vP = 10m/s
  • The wind speed indicator of plane is, v = 35m/s
02

Concept/Significance of relative speed:

Relative velocity is defined as the velocity of an object relative to another observer. It is the time rate of change of relative position of one object with respect to another object.

Relative speed is the rate at which one thing moves or is at rest in comparison to another item that moves or is at rest.

03

(a) Sketch a vector-addition diagram to describe the relationship of v⇀P/E (the velocity of the plane relative to the earth) to the two given vectors

The diagram of velocity using vector addition is given as below.

04

(b) Determination of x be east and y be north, and find the components of v⇀P/E.

The velocity of windspeed relative to earth is given by,

vM/E=-10cos45oi^-10sin45oj^=-7.07i^-7.07j^m/s

The component of velocity of plane relative to earth is given by,

vP/E=vP/W+vW/E

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1659676885475" vP/E=-7.07i^-7.07j^-35j^m/s=-7.07i^-42j^m/s

Thus, the components of vP/E are -7.07i^-42j^m/s.

05

(c) Determination of the magnitude and direction of v⇀P/E.

The magnitude of velocity of plane relative to earth is given by,

vPE=vx2+vy2

Here, vx is the x-component of velocity of plane and vy is the y-component.

Substitute all the values in the above,

vPE=-7.07m/s2+-42m/s2=49.9849m/s2+1764m/s2=42.6m/s

The direction of the plane is given by,

θ2=tan-1vyvx

Substitute all the values in the above,

θ2=tan-1-7.0742=0.168=9.6o

Hence, the magnitude and direction of velocity are 42.6m/s and 9.6o.

The driver of a car wishes to pass a truck that is traveling at a constant speed of20.0m/s(about41mil/h). Initially, the car is also traveling at20.0m/s, and its front bumper is24.0mbehind the truck’s rear bumper. The car accelerates at a constant 0.600m/s2, then pulls back into the truck’s lane when the rear of the car is26.0mahead of the front of the truck. The car islong, and the truck is 21.0m long. (a) How much time is required for the car to pass the truck? (b) What distance does the car travel during this time? (c) What is the final speed of the car?

A certain fuel-efficient hybrid car gets gasoline mileage of 55.0 mpg (miles per gallon). (a) If you are driving this car in Europe and want to compare its mileage with that of other European cars, express this mileage in km/L (1L = liter). Use the conversion factors in Appendix E. (b) If this car’s gas tank holds 45 L, how many tanks of gas will you use to drive 1500 km?

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to

another planet is to use a Hohmann transfer orbit(Fig. P13.79). If the orbits of

the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit

is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of

the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the departure planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches

the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft

into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from

earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at

Mars: in the direction of motion or opposite the direction of motion? What

about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one-way trip

from the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach

Mars from the earth, the launch must be timed so that Mars will be at the right

spot when the spacecraft reaches Mars’s orbit around the sun. At launch, what

must the angle between a sun–Mars line and a sun–earth line be? Use

Appendix F.

The mass of Venus is 81.5% that of the earth, and its radius is 94.9% that of the earth. (a) Compute the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Venus from these data. (b) If a rock weighs 75.0 N on earth, what would it weigh at the surface of Venus?

(a) The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of the trace metal magnesium is 410 mg/day for males. Express this quantity in µg/day. (b) For adults, the RDA of the amino acid lysine is 12 mg per kg of body weight. How many grams per day should a 75-kg adult receive? (c) A typical multivitamin tablet can contain 2.0 mg of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and the RDA is 0.0030 g/day. How many such tablets should a person take each day to get the proper amount of this vitamin, if he gets none from other sources? (d) The RDA for the trace element selenium is 0.000070 g/day. Express this dose in mg/day.
