91Ó°ÊÓ

An airplane is flying with a velocity of 90.0m/s at an angle of 23.0°above the horizontal. When the plane is 114m directly above a dog that is standing on level ground, a suitcase drops out of the luggage compartment. How far from the dog will the suitcase land? Ignore air resistance.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The suitcase will land 795m far from the dog.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

If a particle is thrown in projectile motion, then the velocity of the particle will contain two components, first one is horizontal and other one is vertical.

According to the Newton’s laws of motion,

s=ut+12at2

Heres is the displacement,u is the initial velocity,a is the acceleration andt is the time.

02

Given data

Velocity = 90.0m/s

Angle =23.0°

Distance = 114 m

03

Explanation 

For the vertical motion velocity component is vsinθand for the horizontal motion the velocity component is vcosθ.

For the vertical motion from the second law of motion,

s=±¹²õ¾±²Ôθ³Ù+12at2

Substitute 114m for s, 90m/s for v, 23°for θand 9.8m/s2 for a in the above equation.

114=90×t+12×9.8×t2t=9.60s

In the time 9.60s the horizontal distance traveled by suitcase,

s=±¹³¦´Ç²õθ³Ù+12at2

Substitute 90.0m/s for v, 23°for θ, 9.60s for t and 0m/s2 for a in the above equation.

s=90.0×cos23°×9.60+12×0×9.602s=795m

Therefore the suitcase will land 795m far from the dog.

A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of to reach Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than5.0s. Use331m/sfor the speed of sound. (a) Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him to black out? (b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration ofbefore he blacks out?

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.
