    I need help on a probem similar to this one: The height of a helicopter above the ground is given by h 5 3.00t3, where h is in meters and t is in seconds. At t 5 2.00 s, the helicopter releases a small mailbag. How long after its release does the mailbag reach the ground?... I start to solve the problem and get that the height of the helicopter is 24 m when it drops the package but then when calculating average velocity my professor gets vy=dm/dt=(d(3t^2))/dt=9t^2. I understand that the time is now to the second power but I don't get why he gets 9. Someone help pls. :)

    • @MichelvanBiezen

    great presentation... but... if a B-25 bomber is short on fuel, flying 350mi/hr, at 7km altitude, it weights 10 tons, if dropping off 100kg of weight -- for how many more miles (approximately) it will fly being 100kg lighter (9,900kg)??? THANK YOU

    • @ribosome1681
      @ribosome1681 Před 2 lety

      for this you would require the quantity of fuel and the rate of fuel consumption so without these values this question is unanswerable. Also you will need more values if the plane changes speed with it's loss of weight, though I guess you are implying the pilot keeps it the same.

    Dear Sir! thanking you very much, it is great. I have seen all of the lectures and persuading my son to watch all of these. I also tried to verify the value of angle found in the above example- that is 63 degree- by putting it into the general equation and I observed that the values verify with each other when the angle is 27 degree (90 Degree -63 Degree). If my understanding is correct or I am missing something?

      Ahh, now I understand.
      In the x-direction it is easy. It will be the same as the velocity of the plane (Ignoring wind resistance off course)
      For the y-direction you'll need to find the time in the air. Then you use the equation: v = g * t

  • @wirito
    @wirito Před 5 lety +1

    Professor I’m confused. When you say since there is no Vi away from the angle in either the X or Y direction we don’t have to find the components. Is the velocity the plane is traveling in the X direction constant which is why this can’t be considered as initial velocity?

    • @MichelvanBiezen

      Yes, the velocity of the plane is constant.

      i agree, the angle theta should be zero on this case. otherwise, the time in the air should have been less than 20.2 sec((16,1622 sec) because of the initial Viy velocity. @-63degrees, the range would be 366.88

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  Před 2 lety +2

      In mathematics, we use the concept of angles that are not necessarily related to the real world. Therefore in mathematics we say that an angle of 60 degrees is equal to an angle of 420 degrees. But in the real world everyone know that cannot be true. Just like in a triangle there is no such thing as an angle which is greater than 180 degrees. So in the diagram the angle referenced is an angle of 62 degrees.

      It depends on your reference point. Typically we let the ground equal zero height and thus the starting height is positive. You could let the starting point be zero height and then the final height will be negative. You can solve the problem either way.

      Atmospheric pressure differences do affect stuff, but don't matter in this case. If you're on a plane, your relative velocity with respect to the plane is 0 m/s, NOT the speed of the plane. So from your reference frame the projectile is moving at the speed that you threw it. You don't add the speed of the plane. You only add the speed of the plane if your reference frame is the Earth. From the passenger's reference frame, the plane is still since it's moving at the same velocity as the passengers. You can play ping pong on cruise ships. Uniform motion is not a problem, only acceleration.

    Great video as always!! But why is acceleration due to gravity negative if the object is falling downwards. doesn't g become positive if an object is falling downwards. please help🥲

      When you use the equations of kinematics, it is fundamental that you use a -9.8 because the acceleration due to gravity is directed downward.

      @@MichelvanBiezen I spent a lot of mental energy to figure out what it meant, maybe calling it "projectile's duration in the air" instead would have been more explanatory
