AI Thread Summary
A plane traveling at a constant speed of 110 m/s will take approximately 162.8 seconds to circle once around a circle with a radius of 2850 meters. The calculation involves determining the circumference of the circle using the formula C = 2πr, resulting in a circumference of about 17907.1 meters. By dividing the circumference by the speed, the time for one full revolution is confirmed to be 162.8 seconds. The discussion clarifies the use of the tangential speed formula and confirms the accuracy of the calculations. Overall, the conclusion is that the time for the plane to complete one circle is indeed 162.8 seconds.

Calculate the time it takes a plane traveling at a constant tangential speed of 110 m/s., to fly once around a circle whose radius is 2850m.


The formula for tangential speed is
v = r.w or v = r.2.Pi/T so
110 = 2850.2.Pi/T
T = 162.8

is this a question?
 
Yes this is a question with an answering to it.
I want to know is it ture?
 
looks good to me

what your doing in the equations is effectively fiinding the circumference C = 2.pi.r the diving this by the speed to find time to do one full revolution
so
C = 17907.1m
T = C/v = 162.8s

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
