An aircraft pulls a glider along a runway as shown in Fig. 1.1.
Fig. 1.2 shows the speed of the glider during the first 12 s of the motion.
Describe the motion of the glider in the first 12 s.
In the first 6.0 s of the motion, there is a resultant force of 1800 N on the glider.
Using the increase in speed in the first 6.0 s, calculate the mass of the glider.
mass = ______
Determine the distance travelled by the glider in the first 6.0 s of its motion.
distance = ______
The glider has no engine and stays in the air with the use of convection currents.
State what is meant by a 'convection current'.
Suggest how the convection current that supports the glider is formed.
