The average speed of the plane is 875.999 m/s.

Average speed can be defined as the ratio of total distanced travelled by the object to that of total time taken to cover the distance.

Mathematically, Average speed = Av = $\frac{Total Distance}{Total Time}$

According to the question,

Speed of the plane away from its base V₁ = 730 m/s

Speed of the plane when it flies back V₂ = 1095 m/s

Plane flies the distance D = 404 km

Total Distance covered by the plane S = 404 * 2 km

(because the distance travelled by the plane when going away from the base and then flying back to the base is same)

Therefore S = 808 km = 808 ˣ 10³ m

Time taken by the plane while flying away from the base T₁ = $\frac{D}{V1}$

T₁ = $\frac{404000}{730}$ = 553.425 s

Time taken by the plane while flying back to the base T₂ = $\frac{D}{V2}$

T₂ = $\frac{404000}{1095}$ = 368.949s

Total Time T = T₁ + T₂ = 922.375 s

Therefore Av = $\frac{Total Distance}{Total Time}$

= $\frac{D}{T}$ m/s

= $\frac{808000}{922.375}$ m/s

= 875.999 m/s

The average speed of the plane will be 875.999 m/s.

Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.

lidiya [134]

We have 6 levels and we will verify which of them is true.

<em>A ) Electric charge is conserved </em>

According to the conservation of charge, an electric charge can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

<em>B ) A positive charge and negative charge attract each other</em>

According to the properties of charges, the opposite charges attract each other and similar charges repel each other

Therefore this statement is TRUE

<em>C) Two positive charges attract each other.</em>

Using the previous law, we can observe that this statement is false, because equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is FALSE.

<em>D ) Two negative charges repel each other.</em>

Using the same principle as the two previous statements, two equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is TRUE

<em>E) Electric charge is quantized.</em>

According to the quantization of charge, charges can take values only in integral multiples of a fundamental unit of charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

<em>F) A neutral object contains no charge.</em>

A neutral object contains equal amount of negative and positive charge. Thus, in totality a neutral object contains no charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

Which of these best describes the relationship between the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal for a curved mirror?(

lions [1.4K]

For a curved mirror, all points have the same normal and the angle of incidence is also equal to the angle of reflection.

According to the laws of reflection, the incident ray, reflected ray and normal all lie on the same plane. For a curved mirror, the normal remains the same at all points along the curved mirror.

Again, the angle made between the incident ray and the normal is the same as the angle made between the reflected ray and the normal. Therefore, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

Two liquids, A and B, have equal masses and equal initial temperatures. Each is heated for the same length of time over identica

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.

Explanation:

Liquid A is hotter than the liquid B after both the liquids are heated identically for the same duration of time from the same initial temperature then according to heat equation,

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$

where:

m = mass of the body

c = specific heat of the body

$\Delta T=$ change in temperature of the body

The identical heat source supplies the heat for the same amount of time then the quantity of heat supplied is also equal.

So for constant heat, constant mass the temperature change is inversely proportional to the specific of heat of the liquid.

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m} \times \frac{1}{c}$

$\Delta T\propto\frac{1}{c}$

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.

Many television sets show 25 images, called 'frames, each second. What is the time interval between one

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Given,

Frame rate = 25 frames per second

To find,

Time interval between one frame and the next.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process.

Now,

Number of frames = 25

Total time taken to display the given number of frames (ie. 25 frames) = 1 second

To calculate the time interval between one frame and next, we need to divide the time taken to display total number of frames by total number of frames.

So,

Time interval between one frame and next :

= Time taken to display total number of frames / Total frames

= 1/25

= 0.04 second

Hence, time interval between one frame and next is 0.04 second.

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}$

$v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})$

$v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s} \right)$

$v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}$

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
