Ok I have two questions which I am stuck on. I just need some hints.
1.)An airplane is flying with a velocity of 90.0 m/s at an angle of 23.0m\s above the horizontal. When the plane is a distance 115 m directly above a dog that is standing on level ground, a suitcase drops out of the luggage compartment.
q.)How far from the dog will the suitcase land? You can ignore air resistance
For this one I think I have to calculate the time it takes for the suitcase to hit the ground. And then I can use d=vt to calculate the distance away from the dog. But i am having a problem with the intial velocity in the y direction. When the suitcase falls off the plane its intial velocity is not zero right. Its inital velocity will be the same as the plane right.
2.)A model of a helicopter rotor has four blades, each of length 3.60 m from the central shaft to the blade tip. The model is rotated in a wind tunnel at a rotational speed of 530rev/min.
q1.)What is the linear speed of the blade tip?
q2.)What is the radial acceleration of the blade tip expressed as a multiple of the acceleration of gravity, g?
Really don't know where to start out on this one, just point me in the right direction.
Thanks
