The north and west components of this displacement are 9.19 km and -7.71 km respectively.

<h3>North component of the displacement</h3>

The north component of the displacement is calculated as follows;

Dy = D sinθ

Dy = 12 km x sin50

Dy = 9.19 km

<h3>West component of the displacement</h3>

Dx = D x cosθ

Dx = - 12 km x cos(50)

Dx = -7.71 km

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Use a faster than normal approach and landing speed.

Explanation

For pilots, it is one of the critical moments of the flight that concentrates 12% of fatal accidents. The main difficulty lies in reaching enough speed to take flight within the space of the runway. At present, it ceased to be a challenge for the aircraft, since the engine power improved, so the takeoff ceased to be the most dangerous moment of the flight.

One of the risks that aircraft face today is that some of the engines fail while the plane accelerates. In that case, the pilot must decide in an instant whether it is better to take flight and solve the problem in the air or if it is preferable not to take off.

Although for many staying on the ground might seem the most sensible option, it is not as simple as it seems: to suddenly decelerate an aircraft, with the weight it has and the speed it reaches can cause accidents. However, today a special cement was designed that runs around the runways of the airports, which when coming into contact with the wheels of the aircraft the ground breaks and helps to slow down.

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in
Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can=1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3

1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3

Mass of can=80g=\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead=11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3

By using 1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can  and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force =F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead

\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg

Where \rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=Density of water

m_c=Mass of can

m_l=Mass of lead

V_c=Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l

1.1-0.08=m_l

m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g

1 kg=1000g

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by E. What is the strength of the el
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Using Coulomb's law equation

Force of the charge = k qQ /d²

and E = F/ q

substitute for F

E = ( K Qq/ d² ) / q

q cancel q

E = KQ / d²

so twice  the distance of the from the point charge will lead to the E ( electric field ) decrease by a 4 = E/4. E is inversely proportional to d²
