Answer:

The speed of the wind is 25 km/hr.

Explanation:

Let us call v_p the speed of the plane and v_w the speed of the wind. When the plane is flying against the wind, it covers the distance of 900-km in 2 hours (120 minutes); therefore;

(1). v_p - v_w = \dfrac{900km}{120min}

And when the plane is flying with the wind, it covers the same distance in 1 hour 48 minutes (108 minutes)

(2). v_p+v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}

From equation (1) we solve for v_p and get:

v_p = \dfrac{900km}{120min}+v_w,

and by putting this into equation (2) we get:

\dfrac{900km}{120min}+v_w+v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}

2v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}-\dfrac{900km}{120min}

2v_w = 8.3km/min - 7.5km/min

2v_w = 0.83km/min

v_w = 0.4165km/min

or in km/hr this is

\boxed{v_w= 25km/hr }

A sample contains 16 g of a radioactive isotope. how much radioactive
mafiozo [28]

After one half-life, 8 g of radioactive isotope will remain in the sample.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The act of producing radiation spontaneously is known as radioactivity. This is accomplished by an unstable atomic nucleus that want to give up some energy in order to move to a more stable form.

The following formula is used to compute the number of half lives elapsed:

\rm N=\frac{N_0}{2^n} \\\\ N=\frac{16}{2} \\\\ N= 8 \ gram

Hence,8 gram of radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 1 half-life.

Review. An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 mT . The angular momen
Ghella [55]

The speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

The angular momentum(L) of an electron moving in a circular path is given by the formula,

L = mvr ........(i)

We know that the radius of the path of an electron in a magnetic field is

r = mv/qB

Putting this value in equation (i),

L = mv x mv/qB

or L = (mv)^2/qB

Putting the given values in the above equation,

4 x 10^-25 = (9.1x10^-31)^2 x v^2/ 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1 x 10^-3

v comes out to be 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

Hence, the speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

What is matter? Give a grade 10/11/12 understanding.
lara [203]

Matter can be many things, but is mostly made of atoms. Atoms are small things that cannot be seen directly, as lights either passes through it or alters it. However, we know that atoms are made of 3 parts, those being the proton, neutron, and electron.

Protons have a positive electromagnetic charge.

Neutrons have no charge.

Electrons have a negative charge equal to the protons positive charge.

Protons and neutrons make up what's called the nucleus, which is orbited by the electrons.

Protons and neutrons also share another thing in common, that being their composition.

Until relatively recently, we thought that these were the smallest particles in the universe, and indestructible. However, modern discoveries have revealed that they are actually made of quarks and gluons.

These are actually indestructible, being part of the group that is elementary particles.

A 3250 N car is pushed a distance of 35 m the power was 11375 J, how long did it take?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

10.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on the car  = 3250N

Distance  = 35m

Power  = 11375W

Unknown:

Time taken = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

 Power is the rate at which work is done

         Power = \frac{work done }{time}  

  Work done  = force x distance  = 3250 x 35  = 123200J

Now;

          11375  = \frac{123200}{t}  

           11375t  = 123200  

                   t  = 10.8s
