Question 1. An aircraft is flying West along the equator (as shown in Fig.1) with a constant spee...
Earth with mass M. The angular velocity magnitude of the Earth relative to the inertial frame, Ω. Find any cross products in this problem. This problem will have calculation in the non inertial frame S which rotates with the Earth about its axis. Earth is motionless in the S frame. The xyz coordinate system originates at the center of the Earth, the North Pole is on the positive z axis. At t = 0, a ball of mass m is...
All solutions are to be given in SI units. Problem 1: You are observing a satellite in an inclined orbit (Fig. ). The inclination is defined as the angle between the orbital plane and the inertial x-y plane. You can assume you are observing from the center of the earth. Fig 1: Satellite S in the orbit around the Earth, x,y,z inertial space-fixed system. Left: 3D view; right: view of the system in the x,y-plane (viewing along the negative z-axis)....
Problem 1. (15 points) Recall, the Eulerian angles that we defined in class as shown below. The axes (î, þ, â) are fixed in body frame B and the axes (Î, Ê, Â) are fixed in the inertial reference frame F. The orientation of B with respect to mathF is represented through the angles (0, 0, 4) using a sequence about intermediate z, intermediate y and intermediate z-axis again to obtain body-fixed frame B in the final configuration, from the...
f Question 1 (40 marks) (Compulsory) Answer each sub-question, a) to j). Long answers or explanations are not required. Full marks will be awarded for succinct, comect answers, whether as mathematical expressions, suitably labelled dlagrams, or brief text. If you use standard symbols in your answers there is no need to spend time defining them, unless asked to do so. a) Explain why the direction of the velocity of a particle is tangential to its trajectory. [4 marks] b) What...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
could you please solve a and b? Chapier 2i. Note: you needn't derive Kepler's laws-but do mention when you are using them, an describe the physical concepts involved and the meanings behind the variables. u) Consider two stars Mi and M; bound together by their mutual gravitational force (and isolated from other forces) moving in elliptical orbits (of eccentricity e and semi-major axes ai and az) at distances 11 in n and r from their center of mass located at...
