(c) Find the linear acceleration of the airplane tangent to its flight path.

Answer:

a) 24.0 N.m b) 3.6*10⁻² rad/s² c) 1.07 m/s²

Explanation:

a) If the force that produces the torque is perpendicular to the tethering wire, we can determine its magnitude just as follows:

τ = F*r = 0.800 N * 30.0 m = 24.0 N*m (1)

b)  We can express the torque we found above, using the rotational form of Newton´s 2nd Law, as follows:

τ = I* α (2)

where I is the rotational inertia regarding an axis passing through the center of the circle and α is the angular acceleration of the airplane.

If we consider the airplane as a point mass, the rotational inertia I can be calculated as follows:

I = m*r² = 0.750 Kg * (30.0)² m² = 675 Kg*m²

From (1) and (2), we can solve for α, as follows:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{T}{I} = \frac{24.0 N*m}{675.0 kg*m2} = (3.6e-2) rad/s2[/tex]

α = 3.6*10⁻² rad/s²

c) Applying the definition of the angular velocity, and the definition of an angle, we can find the following realtionship between the linear and angular velocity:

v = ω*r

Dividing both sides by Δt, we can extend this relationship to the linear and angular acceleration, as follows:

a = α*r  

a = 3.6*10⁻² rad/s²* 30.0 m = 1.07 m/s²

a. The torque that the net thrust produces about the center of the circle is 24 Newton.

b. The angular acceleration of the airplane is equal to [tex]0.036 \;rad/s^2[/tex]

c. The linear acceleration of the airplane tangent to its flight path is[tex]1.08 \;m/s^2[/tex]

Given the following data:

  • Mass of airplane = 0.750 kg
  • Radius = 30.0 m
  • Force = 0.800 Newton

a. To find the torque that the net thrust produces about the center of the circle:

Mathematically, the torque produced by a perpendicular force is given by:

[tex]T = Fr[/tex]

Where:

  • T is the torque.
  • F is the perpendicular force.
  • r is the radius.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]T = 0.8 \times 30[/tex]

Torque, T = 24 Newton

b. To find the angular acceleration of the airplane, we would use Newton's Second Law of rotational motion:

[tex]T = I\alpha[/tex]

But, [tex]I = mr^2[/tex]

[tex]I = 0.750 \times 30^2\\\\I = 0.750 \times 900[/tex]

Moment of inertia, I =  [tex]675\;Kgm^2[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = \frac{T}{I} \\\\\alpha = \frac{24}{675}\\\\\alpha = 0.036 \;rad/s^2[/tex]

c. To find the linear acceleration of the airplane tangent to its flight path:

[tex]a = r\alpha \\\\a = 30 \times 0.036[/tex]

Linear acceleration, a = [tex]1.08 \;m/s^2[/tex]
