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

Black_prince [1.1K]

The emf will be induced in anti-clockwise direction.

<u>Explanation</u>

Lenz's law tells us the direction us the direction that the current will flow. It states that the direction is always such that it will oppose the change in flux which produced it. This means that any magnetic field produced by an induced current will be in opposite direction to the change in the original field.

To find the direction of emf, Stretch the forefinger, middle finger and the thumb of the right hand mutually perpendicular to each other. If the force finger points in the direction of the magnetic field, the thumb gives the direction of the motion of the conductor then the middle finger gives the direction of the induced current.

A 27-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 640 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

Explanation:

To attempt this question, we use the formula for the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

I = F t = Δp

Next, we try to find the time that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), so we say

v = d / t

t = d / v

Given that

m = 26 g = 26 10⁻³ kg

d = 50 mm = 50 10⁻³ m

t = d/v

t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

F t = m v - m v₀

This is so, because the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

F = m (v-vo) / t

F = 26*10⁻³ (-500 - 640) / 8.33*10⁻⁵

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

The negative sign is as a result of the force exerted against the bullet

The _______ is a factor that's affected by changes in the independent variable. A. dependent variable B. hypothesis C. experimen
Irina18 [472]
A. dependent variable

As the the independent variable (i.e. number of cats being sold) increases, the dependent variable (i.e. money made) will also increase. You can have 1,000,000 cats for sale and make no money, but you cannot make money without having sold some cats first.
Hope my weird example helped!
