A plane leaves the airport in Galisteo and flies 170 km at 68.0° east of north; then it changes direction to fly 230 km at 36.0° south of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing in a pasture. When the airport sends out a rescue crew, in which direction and how far should this crew fly to go directly to this plane?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The direction will be $84.86^\circ$ and the distance 250.75km.

Explanation:

Let's say A is the displacement vector which represents the first 170km and B the one for the next 230km. Then the components of these vector will be:

$A_x=170cos(68^(\circ))\n A_y=170sin(68^\circ)\n\nB_x=230cos(-36^\circ)\nB_y=230sin(-36^\circ)$

The vector which point from the origin to the final position of the plane will be R=A+B. We sum components on x and y independetly (vector property):

$R_x=A_x+B_x=170cos(68^(\circ))+230cos(-36^\circ)=63.68km+186.07km=249.75km$

$R_y=A_y+B_y=170sin(68^\circ)+230sin(-36^\circ)=157.62km-135.19km=22.43km$

If $\theta$ is the direction of R then:

$tan(\theta )=(R_x)/(R_y)$ ⇒ $\theta = arctan((R_x)/(R_y))$ ⇒ $\theta = 84.86^\circ$ .

The distance will be given by the magnitud of the vector R:

$R=√(R_x^2 + R_y^2)$ ⇒ $R=√(R_x^2 + R_y^2) = 250.75$ .

Two cylindrical resistors are made from same material and have the same length. When connected across the same battery, one dissipates twice as much power as the other. How do their diameters compare ?

Answers

Answer:

$(d_2)/(d_1) = \sqrt2 = 1.41$

Explanation:

As resistor is connected to the battery of constant EMF then the power across the resistor is given as

$P = (E^2)/(R)$

now if two resistors are made up of same material and of same length then due to different cross sectional area they both have different resistance

Due to different resistance they both will have different power

Since power is inversely depends on the resistance

So if the power is twice that of the other then the resistance must be half

so we have

$R_1 = \rho (L)/(A_1)$

$R_2 = \rho(L)/(A_2)$

since one resistance is half that of other resistance

So the area of one must be twice that of other

so we have

$(A_2)/(A_1) = 2$

$(\pi d_2^2)/(\pi d_1^2) = 2$

$d_2 = 1.41 d_1$
