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.

likoan [24]

Answer:

14869817.395 m

Explanation:

\theta=22 microarcsecond

λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm

Converting to radians we get

22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}\ radians

From Rayleigh Criterion

\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{1.3\times 10^{-3}}{22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}}\\\Rightarrow D=14869817.395\ m

Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m

It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.

What happens to the coefficient of friction when the weight is increased? Why is this?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.

Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.

Human fingers are very sensitive, detecting vibrations with amplitudes as low as 2.0x10^-5m. Consider a sound wave with a wavele
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

18,850 Hz

Explanation:

We need to figure out the wavelength of the sound wave.

Thus,

Wavelength = 1000 * Lowest Amplitude Wave

Wavelength = 1000 * 2.0 * 10^(-5)

Wavelength = 0.02

Or,

\lambda=0.02

Now, we need the frequency of this wave. It goes by the formula:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

Where

f is the frequency in Hz

v is the speed of sound in air (to be 377 m/s)

\lambda is the wavelength (we found to be 0.02)

Substituting, we find the frequency:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\f=\frac{377}{0.02}\\f=18850

The wave has frequency of 18,850 Hz
