1) An airplane is flying through a thundercloud at a height of 2000 m. (This is very dangerous because of updrafts, turbulence, and the possibility of electric discharge.) If there are charge concentrations of 45 C at height 3300 m within the cloud and −41 C at height 948 m, what is the strength of the electric field E at the aircraft? The Coulomb constant is 8.99 × 109 N·m2 /C 2 . Answer in units of V/m.

2) Find the magnitude of the electric field at a point midway between two charges +27.0 × 10−9 C and +78.8 × 10−9 C separated by a distance of 56.5 cm. The value of the Coulomb constant is 8.99 × 109 N · m2 /C 2 . Answer in units of N/C. Answer in units of N/C.

Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height. Airplane A is flying east at 250 mph and airplane B is flying north at 400 mph. If they are both heading to the same airport, located 30 miles east of airplane A and 40 miles north of airplane B, at what rate (in mph) is the distance between the airplanes changing?

question 15 Speed of airplane flying overhead of radar station An airplane is flying at an altitude of 6 miles and passes directly over a radar antenna. When the plane is 10 miles away (straight line distance from radar station s=10), the radar detects that the distance s is changing at a rate of 320 mph. What is the actual speed of the plane?

An airplane flying in the air with a constant velocity of 240 m/s horizontally experiences a force due to gravity, directed downwards with a magnitude of 4×10^6 N, and a force generated by the engines, directed forwards with a magnitude of 3 × 10^6 N. a. In light of Newton’s first law, why must there be a third force acting on the airplane? Calculate the magnitude of this third force, and explain its physical origin. Draw this third force on...

An airplane is flying at a constant horizontal velocity of 184.5 m/s and drops a rocket. The rocket falls for 10.24 s without air resistance and under the influence of gravity only, and then fires its thrusters. From the moment the thrusters are one, the rocket has a net acceleration of 5.481 direscted 30.21 degrees above the horizontal. How far apart are the plane and the rocket when the rocket passes back through the cruising altitude of the plane?

An airplane is flying with a velocity of v0 at an angle of α above the horizontal. When the plane is a distance h directly above a dog that is standing on level ground, a suitcase drops out of the luggage compartment. How far from the dog will the suitcase land? You can ignore air resistance. Take the free fall acceleration to be g.

A toy airplane is flying in a straight horizontal (parallel to the ground) path with a speed of vi = 34.0 m/s. Suddenly, the airplane's engines stop (at t=0). Using an x-axis that is horizontal and along the plane's original velocity and a y-axis that is vertical with positive away from the ground, the airplane now has an acceleration given by the following expressions: ax(t) = − t2/C ay(t) = − g [ 1 − vx(t)/vi ] where C =...
