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

Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s . At the same instant, a fly
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The fly travels 2.4 m

Explanation:

Since the Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s, we can find the time until they crash by the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance /Speed

Time = (100 m) / (1 m/s)

Time = 100 hours

Now, the fly will spend the same amount of time traveling as the steamrollers.

Since the fly moves at a speed of 2.4 m/s and we have a time of one hour the steamroller take to collide, then the fly will go a distance of;

Distance = speed x time = 2.4 × 1 = 2.4 m

What is it called when something dissolves into something else
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is dissolving and the end product is a solution.

Explanation:

Solubility is an property of a substance to get dissolved into another. When a substance, termed as solute, dissolves in another substance, termed as solvent, we get a solution.

Larger molecules of the solute breaks because of weak covalent bonds between their molecules and pairs up with the smaller molecules of the solvent and thus dissolves in it. Not all elements can serve solutes or solvents as some have strong forces that bind them together. For example sugar is a solute in water but oil is not soluble in water.

1. What are the different types of waves? Give examples of each type.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

1) There are two main types of waves;

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves usually require a medium for propagation, e.g sound, waves on a spiral spring, etc

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for propagation e.g microwaves, x-rays etc

2) The phenomenon is known as refraction. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media because of the change in the speed of a wave as it moves from one medium to another.

This is a picture of an argon laser. Electrified argon causes the green glow. Where did the argon come from? A. water B. an ore
Gala2k [10]

Argon come from the air. It is a noble gas present in atmosphere. The percentage of argon in air is about 0.93%. Naturally, it is a colorless and odorless gas. When electrifies it gives a blue-green glow. Argon laser is used in field of medicine and surgery.
