Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land. Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen, out over the ocean surface. The first is at altitude 800 m above the surface, horizontal distance 19.2 km. and 25.0 south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1 100 m, horizontal distance 17.6 km, and 20.0 south of west. Your supervisor is concerned that the two aircraft are too close together and asks for a separatism distance for the two airplanes. (Place the x axis west, the y axis south, and the z axis vertical.)

You are working for a window-manufacturing company. The company has just landed a new contract for homes being built in Alaska. There is some concern about the windows surviving in an area where fierce hailstorms occur with some regularity. Because of strong horizontal winds, the hailstones often fall at an angle of 0 = 45.0° to the ground. Measurements have been made during such winds with the following typical results: hailstones strike vertical surfaces at an average rate of 2,200 per minute per square meter of vertical surface. The hailstones have an average mass of m= 5.00 g and an average speed of v = 7.70 m/s. For your report to your supervisor, determine the following on a window of area A = 0.750 m² due to the hailstones. (Assume the collisions are elastic.) (a) the average force (in N) N (b) the average pressure (in Pa) Pa
