The point with the greatest potential energy is B.

The potential energy of an object is depends on the relative distance between the object and the ground and its mass. The higher the object is from the ground the greater the potential energy posses.

Potential energy (P.E) = mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravity and h is the height from the ground to where the object is.

Since the mass and gravity is constant in this case, only the height will determine the point with the greatest P.E and that point is B.

An airplane is flying through the air at a speed of 150 mph at a heading of 60 degrees. if the wind is blowing at 20 mph from th

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

speed of plane 150 mph

heading $60^{\circ}$

wind is blowing at 20 mph from south-east

velocity of plane w.r.t. wind

$v_{pw}=150(\cos 60\hat{i}+\sin 60\hat{j})$

$v_{w}=20(\cos 45\hat{i}-\sin 45\hat{j})$

$v_{p}=v_{pw}+v_{w}$

$v_{p}=(150\cos 60+20\cos 45)\hat{i}+(150\sin 60-20\sin 45 )\hat{j}$

$v_{p}=89.14\hat{i}+115.76\hat{j}$

$|v_{p}|=146.103 m/s$

(b)after 30 minutes

Plane traveled in x direction $=89.14\times 0.5=44.57 miles$

Plane in Y direction $=115.76\times 0.5=57.88 miles$

Total distance $=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=73.05 miles$

direction $tan\theta =\frac{115.76}{89.14}=1.298$

$\theta =52.38^{\circ}$ w.r.t east

a 1010 W radiant heater is constructed to operate at 115 V. (a) What is the current in the heater when the unit is operating?

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data:

power rating of the heater P= 1010 W

voltage of the heater V= 115 volts

current taken by the heater I= ?

We can apply the power formula to solve for the current in the heater

i.e P= IV

Making I the current subject of formula we have

I= P/V

Substituting our given data into the expression for I we have

I=1010/115= 8.78 A

<h2 /><h2><em>Hence the current when the unit/heater is operating is 8.78 Amp</em></h2>
