Yes, the friction is acting in the opposite direction you are pushing.

Marcia flew her ultralight plane to a nearby town against a head wind of 15 km/h in 2h 20 min. the return trip under the same wi

insens350 [35]

Let the distance between the towns be d and the speed of the air be s.

distance = speed * time

convert the minutes time into hours.

When flying into the wind, ground speed will be air speed MINUS wind speed, hence the against the wind trip is described by:

s−15

return trip is then :

s+15

Cross-multiplying both we get the two-variable system:

3d=7∗(s−15)5d=7∗(s+15)

3d=7s−1055d=7s+105

subtract first equation from second equation we get

2d=210d=105km

Substitute the value of d in the above equations for s.

5∗105=7s+1057s=420s=60km/hr

James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running s

liraira [26]

Answer:

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Vertical motion of James : -

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = g

Displacement, s = h

Substituting,

s = ut + 0.5 at²

h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

$t_{James}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Vertical motion of John : -

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = g

Displacement, s = h

Substituting,

s = ut + 0.5 at²

h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

$t_{John}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

So both times are same.

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.
