If an airplane is flying directly north at 300.0 km/h, and a crosswind is hitting the airplane at 50.0 km/h from the east, what
Rashid [163]

Answer:

magnitude = 304.14 km/h

direction: 9.46^o West of North

Explanation:

The final plane's vector velocity will be the result of the vector addition of one pointing North of length 300 km/h, another one pointing West of length 50 km/h.

To find the magnitude of the final velocity vector (speed) we need to apply the Pythagorean theorem in a right angle triangle with sides: 300 and 50, and find its hypotenuse:

|v|=\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=\sqrt{92500}  = 304.14 km/h

The actual direction of the plane is calculated using trigonometry, in particular with the arctan function, since the tangent of the angle can be written as:

tan(\theta)=\frac{50}{300} = \frac{1}{6} \\\theta = arctan(\frac{1}{6} ) = 9.46^o

So the resultant velocity vector of the plane has magnitude = 304.14 km/h,

and it points 9.46^o West of the North direction.

The radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is 20cm.What is its focal length?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Focal \ length = 10 \ cm}

Given:

Radius of curvature (R) of a spherical mirror = 20

To Find:

Focal length (f)

Explanation:

Formula:

\boxed{ \bold{\sf Focal \ length \ (f) = \frac{Radius \ of \ curvature \ (R)}{2}}}

Substituting value of R in the equation:

\sf \implies f =  \frac{20}{2}

\sf \implies f = \frac{ \cancel{2} \times 10}{ \cancel{2}}

\sf \implies f = 10 \: cm

A block lies on a horizontal frictionless surface and
zhenek [66]

Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

F = Force exerted on spring = 3 N

k = Spring constant = 60 N/m

x = Displacement of the block

As the energy of the system is conserved we have

Fx=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2F}{k}

\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2\times 3}{60}

\\\Rightarrow x=0.1\ m

The position of the block is 0.1 from the initial position.

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

A car travels initially at 24 m/s, until it enters the highway. If the car accelerates at 4 m/s^2 for a 96 meters, what is the c
marishachu [46]
  • initial velocity=u=24m/s
  • Acceleration=a=4m/s^2
  • Distance=s=96m
  • Final velocity=v

Using 3rd equation of kinematics

\boxed{\Large{\sf v^2-u^2=2as}}

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=u^2+2as

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=24^2+2(4)(96)

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=576+768

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=1344

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v=\sqrt{1344}

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v=36.6m/s
