What is the velocity of a plane traveling nothwest at 610 mph?
Velocity is the rate of speed in a given direction. Therefore, the plane's velocity is 610mph NW.
What is resultant velocity of the plane if a plane travels 100 km per hour to the north with a headwind of 25 km per hour towards the south?
The resultant velocity of a plane is 75 km/hr.
What is the definition of inclined plane?
It is simply a plane surface making an angle with the horizontal (ground).
What is the velocity of a plane that traveled 3000 miles in five hours?
The plane's average speed during that time was (3000/5) = 600 miles per hour.We can't say anything about the average velocity because we don't know where the tripbegan or ended. In addition to speed, velocity includes information about the direction.
WHICH IS CORRECT DRIVE A PLANE?
You wouldn't drive a plane, you would fly one. One the ground the term then would be to "taxi" a plane
If you drop a bullet off a table 3 feet high and fire another one straight across an empty football field which will hit the ground first?
Falling three feetThis is a common question in elementary physics and the wrong answer (that the bullets will land at the same time) is given quite frequently. Though some would argue that factoring in lift due to exceeding terminal velocity is excessive and needlessly complicates things to make a point that changes the answer only slightly, the truth of the matter is that the fired bullet will take almost twice as long to land. Although you didn't state it explicitly in your question, we will assume the bullet fired from the rifle starts out three feet off the ground, not at shoulder height.Assuming that, the bullets will strike the ground at nearly the same time!! For many people that is a counter-intuitive answer.Orthogonal forces -- that is, forces at right angles to each other -- have no effect on each other. When a bullet is fired from a gun, the force due to gravity works at right angles to the bullet's horizontal motion. The bullet's horizontal motion and any forces acting on the bullet in the horizontal direction have no effect on the motion of, or the forces acting on, the bullet in the vertical direction.When the bullet leaves the end of the muzzle of the gun, gravitational forces will start to act on the bullet immediately. The bullet will accelerate toward the ground at 9.8 meters per second squared (32.2 feet per second squared), just like any object that is dropped and falling freely.At this point you might think they would strike the ground simultaneously. However, drag forces caused by the bullet exceeding terminal velocity would cause a lift. Similar to the principle upon which plane flight is based. This would cause the fired bullet to stay airborne slightly longer than the dropped bullet.The dropped bullet will strike the ground in about 432 milliseconds (0.432 second).The fired bullet will land shortly after.(Except the bullet would go far beyond an empty football field, unless it hit a wall at the end of it or something...)
Is a surface to air missile?
A missile fired from the surface (ie the ground) intended to hit a target in the air (ie a plane) A missle fired on the ground that seeks out an airborne target.
Physics my professor gave us a homework assignment on conservation of rotational momentum the question is as follows can anyone help?
A uniform thin rod of length 0.40 m and mass 3.5 kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center. The rod is at rest when a 3.0 g bullet traveling in the horizontal plane of the rod is fired into one end of the rod. As viewed from above, the direction of the bullet's velocity makes an angle of 60° with the rod (Fig. 12-30). If the bullet lodges in the rod and the angular velocity of the rod is 8 rad/s immediately after the collision, what is the bullet's speed just before impact?
Why is the speed of light constant when a bullet fired from a plane at high speed gains both the plain speed and the exploding propulsion speed combined?
This is mainly because the bullet is material whereas light in not material. Matter already moving along with the plane, when it is fired it would have both the velocities added together. But in case of light it is energy, not matter. Light coming out of a moving source cannot have two velocities. It would have only the velocity of the disturbance which gets propagated in free space. Hence this constancy of velocity of light leads to the theory of relativity. Thereby space itself becomes relative. So the time too becomes relative.
Why does a bullet when fired against a glass window pane make a hole in it and the glass pane will smash it?
When a bullet is fired at a glass window pane, the impact generates a focused force at a small point on the glass, causing it to shatter in a radial pattern around the impact point. The energy transferred by the bullet is enough to break the molecular bonds in the glass, leading to the formation of a hole and shattering of the pane.
Can a bullet bring down a jet if fired from the inside?
It's unlikely, but possible. A bullet fired through the skin of the plane (through aluminum) will make a small hole, which will cause a pressure leak. The cabin pressure system can compensate for several such leaks. If a bullet is fired through a window, the window might blow out, causing the cabin to lose pressure fairly quickly--the cabin pressure system can't compensate for a hole that big. While that is hazardous to the passengers, it won't bring down the plane. (Although, the pilots will immediately dive to a lower altitude to recover some cabin pressure). A bullet that punctures a fuel tank or fuel line might lead to a fire which would bring down the plane.
A plane flying 100kmh due north encounters a crosswind of 100kmh from the east ie blowing westward What then is the planes velocity relative to the ground?
The resultant velocity of the plane relative to the ground can be calculated using vector addition. Given the plane's speed due north (100 km/h) and the crosswind speed (100 km/h westward), use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant velocity. The resultant velocity will be 141 km/h at an angle of 45 degrees west of north.
What is faster a bullet or the plane concord?
It depends on which bullet. According to Wiki, the Concord can travel at 1330 MPH, which converts to approximately 1950 feet per second. Some bullets travel faster than that, some travel slower, especially bullets fired from handguns.
What is the velocity of a plane traveling nothwest at 610 mph?
Velocity is the rate of speed in a given direction. Therefore, the plane's velocity is 610mph NW.
What is the effect on the speed of a fighter plane chasing another when it opens fire?
Depending on the rounds fired there would be a slight drop in speed momentarily due to the blowback of the gun. If firing say a standard 5.5 machine gun then the effect would be minor,if it were larger missiles etc the effects would be greater but still neglidgeable due to the huge mass and kinetic energy of the aircraft.
Acronym for surface to air missiles?
A missile fired from the surface (ie the ground) intended to hit a target in the air (ie a plane) A missle fired on the ground that seeks out an airborne target.
Where did machine gun casings go when fired from an airplane's wing machine guns?
Depends on the design of a plane. Typically they fall out through special ports and fall to the ground.
