An airplane is flying with a constant altitude at a speed of 475 mph in a direction 25° north of west directly towards its final destination. The airplane then encounters wind blowing at a steady 30 mph in a direction 85° north of east. Yes a. Start by drawing a vector diagram for this situation. Did you draw a diagram? Great! Your diagram might look something like this: Wind New Path Original Path b. If the pilot does not correct...
An airplane weighs 16,000 lbs and is flying at 5000 ft altitude and at an airspeed of 200 fps. Find (a) the potential energy, (b) the kinetic energy, and (c) the total energy. Assuming no extra drag on the airplane, if the pilot dove until the airspeed was 400 fps, what would the altitude be?
An airplane flies at an altitude of y =6 miles toward a point directly over an observer (see figure). The speed of the plane is 600 miles per hour. Find the rates (in radians per hour) at which the angle of elevation is changing when the angle is 45, = 60°, and e 70°. y mi Not drawn to scale 0 45 (a) rad/hr -50 (b) 600 x rad/hr 75 70° (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) rad/hr...
An airplane is flying at Mach 1.58 at an altitude of 7,100.00 meters, where the speed of sound is v = 314.75 m/s. How far away from a stationary observer will the plane be when the observer hears the sonic boom? (Enter the total distance in m.)
An airplane is flying at Mach 1.43 at an altitude of 7,400.00 meters, where the speed of sound is v = 313.50 m/s. How far away from a stationary observer will the plane be when the observer hears the sonic boom? (Enter the total distance in m.)
An airplane is flying at Mach 1.63 at an altitude of 7,200.00 meters, where the speed of sound is v = 314.33 m/s. How far away from a stationary observer will the plane be when the observer hears the sonic boom? (Enter the total distance in m.)
An airplane is flying with a velocity of 256 m/s at an angle of 30.0° with the horizontal, as the drawing shows. When the altitude of the plane is 2.2 km, a flare is released from the plane. The flare hits the target on the ground. What is the angle θ?
When an airplane is flying 200 mph at 5000-ft altitude in a standard atmosphere, the air velocity at a certain point on the wing is 273 mph relative to the airplane. Please provide the gage pressure (units of lb per square feet) at the location on the wing where the wind speed (from the perspective of the wind) is 273 mph. Provide your answer with two significant figures.
An airplane flies at an altitude of y = 8 miles toward a point directly over an observer (see figure). The speed of the plane is 600 miles per hour. Find the rates at which the angle of elevation θ is changing when the angle is θ = 45°, θ = 60°, and θ = 80°. (a) θ = 45° (b) θ = 60° (c) θ = 80° (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Please circle your answers. the...
Two observers who are 5 km apart simultaneously sight a small airplane flying between them. One observer measures a 51.0-degree inclination angle, while the other observer measures a 40.5-degree inclination angle. At what altitude is the airplane flying?
