An airplane flies at an altitude of 36,000 km and is traveling at a velocity of 300.0 km/h to the north, but the tailwind is 20.

0 km/h. What is the airplane's final velocity? (Remember that velocity is a vector.) vf =

Just a heads up, it's actually 320 km/h N. The verified answerer did not pay attention to the last sentence. Since it is about vectors, you must include the direction of the magnitude.

Vectors quantity have magnitude and direction, which means that they can be solved arithmetically with their corresponding signs. In this case, we can simply add the two velocities to get for the final velocity of the plane. But first let us determine the signs of each velocity value.

As a reference, we take the direction of the plane to be going the positive y-axis. Therefore it is going up and positive. Now take note that the wind is a “tailwind” which means that the wind is going WITH the direction of the plane, therefore it is also a positive. Now knowing that, we can add the two:

Final velocity = 300 km / hr + 20 km / hr

Final velocity = 320 km / hr

A ballplayer standing at home plate hits a baseball that is caught by another player at the same height above the ground from wh
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Maximum height reached = 39.39 m

Explanation:

At maximum height

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Consider the vertical motion of baseball,

Initial velocity, u = 32.1sin60=27.8 m/s

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Substituting

             v² = u² + 2as  

             0 = 27.8² + 2 x (-9.81) x s

             s = 39.39 m

Maximum height reached = 39.39 m

Well,

First of all, this isn't physics in my opinion; this is Astronomy.

In the mesosphere, there exists a high concentration of ions.  This region is called the ionosphere.

A spin balancer rotates the wheel of a car at 480 revolutions per minute. if the diameter of the wheel is 26 inches, what road s
Mariana [72]
Part A:
To answer this item, we need to convert the given revolutions per minute in speed expressed as miles per hour. In order to do so, we need to use the dimensional analysis and the appropriate conversion factor.
 
We calculate the circumference that is covered by the wheel.
     C = πD
where C is the circumference and D is the diameter.

Substitute the known values,
       C = π(26 in) = 81.68 inches

The speed tested is calculated below.
      s = (81.68 inches/rev)(480 rev/min)(1 mil/63360 inches)(60 min/1 hr)
            s = 37.127 mil/h

<em>ANSWER: 37.127 mil/h</em>

Part B:
Similar to what was done in Part A, the setting of the balancer is calculated below,
       setting = (80 mil/h)(1h/60 min)(63360 in/1 mil)(1 rev/81.68 in)
         setting = 1034.23 rev/min

<em>ANSWER: 1034.23 rev/min</em>

What are magnetic poles an indication of
Leokris [45]
The 'North pole' of any magnet is the one that would be attracted to the Earth's North magnetic pole. In that sense, they are just labels that identify the opposite magnetic force produced at each end of the magnet. The Earth'smagnetic field also has poles, North and South. more at study.com
